Comments: Good location. Good packet. Awesome that they had packet pickup in East Texas. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done the race. The swim exit ramp was super slick. Dangerous slick. I lost several seconds due to having no idea where the course was supposed to go and not having anybody to follow. But I think this race will improve, and it should be a good destination for both DFW and East Texas to race.

Comments: Overall I had a really good time and enjoyed the course. I would definitely do it again and would like to see the race get bigger. Here's my pro's and cons list: Pros: 1. Super nice race directors. They were extremely accomodating and even held packet pick-up a week early in our neck of the woods, which was great. 2. I'm not a packet person, could care less about all the junk. I just want to race. However, I loved the t-shirts they gave out (one technical and one cotton). They both actually fit! And the design isn't bad either. 3. Loved the venue. You can't hold it against them that the lake was low, but really that wasn't an issue. I liked the longer bike course as cycling is my strongest of the three. I didn't think the chipseal was bad, but others had different opinions. Again, road surface is largely out of the RD's hands and you are at the mercy of TxDot. 4. LOTS of police on the bike course, definitely felt safe. There was also very limited traffic on the course. Cons: 1.
