  • Comments: Good race. Always enjoy CapTex and the course. It definitely isn't the easiest in Texas but there are tougher too. Post race activities seemed to be down from previous years but the race was sold to LifeTime this year so not sure if that was the reason or it had already been planned to be scaled back.

  • Comments: I would have liked to see at least one water station on the bike. Luckily I read the athlete guide and knew to bring my own hydration for that leg of the course. I think at times the bike course was crowded. Other than that I thought it was a fun race and in a beautiful city!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed my time in Austin. The town has a great spirit and the people were friendly, helpful, and kind. There are a lot of things to see and do, and the race venue and host hotel made things very convenient, even without a car. Lifetime fitness got most things right as a race organizer. There are a lot of moving parts to this event with various distances and a huge number of athletes. Kind of appropriate that in Texas we felt a lot of times like we were cattle being herded. The packet pickup/expo was very chaotic, and entry/exit to and from transition was confusing and inconvenient before and after the event. That said, I felt that all other aspects were done right. The course was really cool and captured the essence of Austin, the roads were all closed and there were safety personnel at every intersection doing their best to keep traffic and pedestrians off the course. There were numerous aid stations on the run course, and the volunteers were enthusiastic and helpful.

  • Comments: Packet pickup was a little disorganized. There was a very long line for timing chips, though I will say the line went fairly quickly.

  • Comments: For the amount of money that this race costs, I don't see what the hype is outside of the fact that pros are running it. The race was not organized well. There was never a word on when transition would close (they announced it on facebook the night before). The expo and packet pickup were average, at best. I have run more efficient races with better swag for half the price. Saying that, it was a fun race all-in-all . . . I just expected a little more for a race of this caliber.
