  • Comments: I did take away from this race was that I could suffer and get through it. The race wasnt good but i feel good about it. Now that its been about a week and now I think there could be a full 70.3 in my future. The only bad thing was once I was done there was no place to get food there. I was really wanting something with meat in it.

  • Comments: Honestly, this race has a lot going for it in terms of organization. The course is challenging but not as brutal as some have said. The volunteers are the best I've seen, with lots of support. It just comes down to the location. Lubbock sucks. It boring, hot, and windy. Put this in another city, with better climate, and it's a great race. Put it in Lubbock in the summer, and buyer beware

  • Comments: This is a tough race. Not a place to go for a PR, but the challenge is exactly why people show up year after year. The course isn't pretty and Lubbock isn't a great place to visit, but the challenge makes it memorable. Very well organized and a ton of volunteers on the course. I can't say enough about the volunteer help.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Overall, considering my training volume and the race-day conditions, I felt I had the best race I could today so I am very pleased with my effort. I was able to mentally and physically manage a very difficult bike leg and put in a strong effort on the run, a run where I was even able to negative split the course.
