  • Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my Texas Man experience. Yes, I suffered quite a bit today, but I did it with a smile on my face. The venue is lovely, the course is challenging, and the weather...well, it was too damn hot frankly, but you can't control that. The volunteers worked their butts off keeping the athletes hydrated and cool. And the downhill finish? Priceless. I really didn't notice the post-race activities since I was getting a massage and cooling down. I was ready to leave and eat something other than gel, salt tabs, and electrolyte drinks. I recommend this race for anybody. Pick your distance and enjoy yourself!

  • Comments: I really like the venue for this race, I like the beach start for the swim, and the bike course was decent, although the roads kind of sucked in sections, and the run course has some shaded sections. Was a little disappointed that even with a $169 entry fee, they only had 1 aid station on the bike and all it had was water.

  • Comments: It seemed like everything and all the volunteers were disappearing after the Olympic race. Only powerade at one station. What the heck. I was really disappointed with that.
