  • Comments: Good race. For having to cnx the swim last minute and reorganize they did great job. Good call on the swim and TT bike start. Athlete check in was a mess and the volunteers needed more training. Need a better flow in the tent.

  • Comments: Very nicely done race... I'm afraid the sprint and oly will become after thoughts to the IM 70.3 event in the future which will dissappoint me as this was a great race and venue.

  • Comments: Good race. Excellent venue! Moody Gardens is a very neat place to have a race. And while I know safety is an issue, I think the swim was cancelled in haste. It's a tough decision to make with so many athletes competing, but I feel the best decision would've been to wait it out. The weather would've cooperated if we held off an hour in my opinion. Additionally, I feel the sprint and olympic was neglected in favor of the 70.3. This is understandable, given the circumstances.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race and felt it was well done. It cost me a trip and hotel to attend and I would definitely do it again. I think it's overall a fun venue, well organized, lots of parking, and being at the hotel makes it so easy. One of the good things I liked is that it is really easily 'spectated' for a big race. You can view the run multiple times, see bike out - then go into the hotel for a break and come back later. The only things I thought were lacking were things that I don't really care much about/could easily be overcome -- the expo was so small and off to the side that I didn't spend what I normally would have there but again -- secondary and not at most races anyway. Pizza yum.

  • Comments: Keith made the right decision in canceling the swim. Always best to error on the side of caution and it would have been difficult to support this swim with the high winds. I was disappointed as this swim leg was going to be a measurement of my swim ability for the IronStar HIM. But we all still had a great time and made the best of an otherwise beautiful Texas day!

  • Comments: I hate to say this but I was very disappointed in the event. Long line at check in and dispite the effort of the volunteers it was disorganized. Swag was a t shirt some flyers and a cheap bag.

  • Comments: Check in on Friday was a nightmare. Took over 45 minutes. Once I got inside I saw why. Two volunteers for each race. Then had to go around to three different tables. Just think it should have gone alot faster. Heard conflicting stories on why the swim was canceled. (buoys vs. lifeguard calling it unsafe) We were told it was the buoys, but other claim it was lifeguard. I think the lifeguard calling it is more acceptable. Who knows ? This is my fourth race and I would have thought I would get some notice if they were going to flag me for drafting. Oh well, not going to lose sleep over it.

  • Comments: Had a lot of fun at this race and I'm glad I made the trip even though there wasn't a swim. Overall I'm happy with where I'm at so far for the season and am looking forward to the gains that are going to be made over the many months to follow.

  • Comments: Just one thing I didn't like. At the finish they were offering warm water to the finishers. How can that mistake be made not to have ice water at the finish????
