  • Comments: They avertised lots of food but that was not the case. They did not have any left by the time I finished. There were not a lot of volunteers and some of the intersections were very dangerous because they were not manned.

  • Comments: Poorly organized. 1. Swim course unsafe due to unmarked underwater hazards and rock/oyster bed entry/exit. Gator nearby didn't come into play (thank goodness). 2. Transition exit/entrance for bike crossed over run couse, not safe. 3. Wrong time of year due to weather and water temp (high temps bring in jellyfish).

  • Comments: As I mentioned in my bike comments, the race was good, but the set up and the stationing of road services was below race standards. I'd say the race was 90% organized.

  • Comments: I like this distance. Being predominantly a swimmer, I like to see the swim be a little more material part of the race. Weak swimmers can't bluff their way through a 1500m course without spotting you 5-10 minutes. Revenge!

  • Comments: I would definitely do it again.Thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon me to be physically able to race again. My last event was in April. Heard one swimmer saw a 4 foot alligator during his warmup just a 100 meters out. That might improve your swim time.

  • Comments: This was a good solid event. There were a decent number of volunteers and PLENTY of food at the finish line. After Tejas I decided that these guys knew how to treat the athletes and will continue to support them. There were no lines and easy access to water, sports drinks, and sodas. Other events make you go through a line (like the big marathons) that make it hard to get your well deserved bounty. Last comment - It is now the Sunday after the event and there isn't any sign of the official results. Ugh. The only thing that I thought was odd was that there didn't seem to be as many lifeguards/canoes on the swim, but I may have been too preoccupied with my swim to notice.

  • Comments: Pretty well organized and good volunteer support. Will do it again next year as I like the distance and is a good set-up for late season races. Only suggestion/comment is to improve or move the swim start/finish. Too many people got their feet cut on the rocks.

  • Comments: Enjoyed the distance and most parts of the course. The volunteers who were there were great, but overall this event was sorely lacking volunteers. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am that there were 2 major intersections on the bike course that were unmanned and that is unacceptable. Also did not get to enjoy any of the post-race party. There was NO pizza or wings by the time I finished the Olympic course. Half-eaten watermelon rinds mixed in with the "fresh" watermelon made me change my mind about having a couple slices.
