  • Comments: This is a good race which sells out within days. It is well organized and they alleviated last year's issues by putting timing chips in the race packets. I wanted to make this race one I do every year to benchmark performance. Unfortunately the change in the bike course and my illness prevented just that. It wasn't any fun getting strep throat 3 days before the race, but I gave it a go anyway. I met my swim goal, so at least I had one positive takeaway.

  • Comments: Great sprint distance race. Course was a little lacking this year due to road construction, but it was very well organized and a great venue on the North Side of Houston.

  • Comments: Race was very well-organized. People were great. Racers friendly and eager to help newbies, 1st-timers. I will definitely do it again just to beat my times but also b/c it is so well run.

  • Comments: Overall the race was well done. There were lots of volunteers; the course was marked with lots of cones and distance markers; plenty of cops blocking intersections. A few suggestions: 1. More porta-potties 2. Have some time requirement other than close of transition to prevent people from getting there so late causing delay. 3. Allow a little bit of time for athletes to get in the water, especially if it is cold.

  • Comments: I think this is one of the best sprint-distance races in the Houston area. It's a bigger race than most, but it's very well run and the course can accomodate a lot of people. You don't notice the crowds at all. This race usually starts cool, but warms up as the morning progresses, so earlier waves have a definate advantage. This was the first tri I did, back in 2008. For my age group, I came in 64 out of 71. Now, I'm at 20 out of 100. I feel pretty good about the improvement.

  • Comments: Swag was great, but Post race wasn't as good as last year. Only water and beer to drink afterwards...I like gatorade or coke. Run Far had me listed on the unofficial results as "unknown", so I filled out one of the correction slips and it looks like they got my name right. However, there are several females in my AG listing and my swim is wrong based upon my garmin, which is usually right on. Probably will have to repost adjusted times and rankings if they fix it.
