  • Comments: I placed 3rd in my age group for the first time! Granted the Masters winner came out of my group so I was really 4th fastest, but I'll take it. Getting on the podium has been a goal every year and I finally got to have that good feeling. I like it. This may not have been my fastest or best ever, but it was one of the most memorable and it was a well run, organized event.

  • Comments: Not sure if I'll do this race again. I like the bike course a lot but having the run shortened due to an obnoxious homeowners association two weeks before the race is annoying. Hopefully that will get resolved by next year. The swim course was the most disgusting body of water I have ever swam in and would be enough to put me off doing it next year. Additionally, if you were in the transition/staging area, there was no way to hear the announcers at the end of the pier announcing the start of the swim - a few people missed their wave because they didn't know the race was even starting. Also, if I decide to do it next year, I'm definitely doing the Olympic just so I don't have to wait around afterwards for transition to open. I had to hang out for 2 HOURS waiting for it to open - I actually spent more time waiting around afterward than I did actually racing.

  • Comments: The bike course being long and the run course getting changed were annoying. I know a lot of people were frustrated with the bike being long and them spinning out their legs to early. Even worse for the olympic distance folks that had an extra 4.5-5 miles added.

  • Comments: My first tri, but from reading reviews this was a good setup w/lots of volunteers, police, food, drink, etc. Much improved from the year-before reports. If every event I do goes this smoothly, I will be very grateful.

  • Comments: Overall, I was very pleased with my performance, not just for this race, but also for my re-entry to triathlons this summer. I successfully used the Tejas Tri as an evaluation, made changes to my training, and executed at this race. I'll probably do this race again next year. My only complaints were the crowded swim course and the tight bottleneck between the bike entrance/exit from the transition and the main road. Also, having the bikers cross the run course caused some confusion.

  • Comments: Not sure if I agree with how the race was started. Slower groups went before faster groups. And the Sprint group would meet up with the Olympic group at the last 200 meters. Complete traffic jamb. Mass group of waders trying to get out of the water at the same time. I understand the need for the Olympic and Elite athletes to go first, but it might have been better to start the Olympic about 10 minutes sooner and then give a 20 minute break between races) and then start the faster groups first.

  • Comments: Could have been more drink stations on the run, maybe one at the turnaround for the out and back run. Other than that, the race was very smooth and they seemed to have ironed out any problems I read about last year. I will definitely be doing this race again, hopefully the Olympic distance next year.

  • Comments: I was disappointed in the swim entrance. The entrance was so difficult with the rocks that the entire group wasn't ready when the gun went off. I currently have cuts on my hands, arm, both knees, thighs, and feet. Also not all intersections were manned.

  • Comments: Overall a good race and a great time. The volunteers were awesome. Thanks! Lots of people out and even a few gators to keep us in line. Big Congrats to Runmerry1...AGAIN! More hardware!!!! Lots of people had cut up feet from the start. Something to address. There was at least one major intersection (Hwy 96) that wasn't manned by volunteers or police. Maybe I'll volunteer at this one next year
