• Comments: I think the CapTexTri was really hard to pull for the organizers as there were about 3,000 participants and thousand more spectators for the event. It was really enjoyable and one of the largest races I have ever down. There was some disorganization this year with timing, male/female mix-ups, registration issues for some due to computer difficulties, and apparently a police officer on a jet ski mislead the pros on the swim portion. Andy Potts apparently ignored him and finished the swim portion correctly despite almost being run over by the jet ski. So there was some miscommunication, but I think some of this is to be expected with such a large event. I'll be back next year if I can swing it around work.

• Comments: Poor pre-race information. No one could tell me the day before the race some important things like when transition would close. Then, on race day, I was given incorrect information and told transition would close 30 minutes before it did. Staff were not terribly helpful at answering questions and were unnecessarily rude to many participants and family members. The race did not seem very well-organized and the slow posting of results, even preliminary ones, has borne that out. I used to love this race, but I might not do it again.

• Comments: The expo the day before was great. Lots of good deals. Very big race with lots of participants and spectators. Was nice to ride around the capital. Very cool! Would do again for sure.
