  • Comments: Pretty well organized. Started maybe 10 minutes late but that was due to weather. Not much to do after the race other than sit there and watch the olympic racers head out on their second bike loop/run start. It would have been nice if the sprint and olympic transitions were separate so sprint racers didn't have to wait for 2 hrs to get their bikes out of transition after the race.

  • Comments: This was my second Playtri race and I have been fairly impressed with them. They are well organized, I am always amazed as how they have pizza delivered so early in the morning (didn't know pizza places were open that early). I had heard bad things about the swim location before the race but it turned out to be pretty good.

  • Comments: Staci Brode is an extremely hard working race director. This is the second race I did with her this year where weather was / could have been a factor. She is fearless, nothing fazes her -- she just charges straight ahead. Awesome. Ava Wilk 8 years old did her first triathlon. Great memories... Chris Phelan did a great job on the microphone keeping things interesting.

  • Comments: swim rank: 51 bike rank: 6 run rank: 23 overall 2nd in my age group. Need to get back to swimming at least twice a week... a 50 meter pool in my backyard would help. Showing progress with my new run training strategy. Last year they had a huge expo... hopefully that'll be back next year. I wanted to go to the ITB clinic, but I pulled nap-duty instead so my wife could visit with her parents/sister. I love this venue.. super nice being able to roll out of bed and take the elevator down to transition. City of Irving had a nice fireworks display right behind the hotel. Post race there was pizza, bagels, bananas, sports drink, water. Didn't pay attention to the music, but I never heard Eye of the Tiger... I DID hear "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, so +1 for that. Look forward to going back next year.
