  • Comments: Really well run race. I probably wood have given it a 5 except everyone bragged about how good the food was last year and I don't believe any one thought that it lived up to the hype this year. They ran out of hotdogs, pizza and bottled water before the first 1/2 of the racers were in.

  • Comments: This race was awesome.. but I have a few things I have to mention. First off the race start was fairly un organized. There was ALMOST NO warning as to the start. Secondly the awards took WAYYYYY TOO long. Unnecessarily long. A picture was taken of EVERY single award given out w/ the winner and RD. Plus it seemed like he gave a biography of every person he knew. I finished at 9am and didnt leave till 12:30pm. Yeaaaa. Other than that the course was awesome. It was well organized. The post race was fantastic and everyone was VERY friendly. Well worth the drive to Texarkana.

  • Comments: The race was overall friendly. I like that. What I did not like was that it turned out to be filled with rabbits (you know those fast swimmers, fast runners, fast bikers). My girl friend was telling me that the announcer was saying that this person went to state for this thing and that person was top in class for that thing. I guess only those hard core triathletes would go out into the middle of the woods to do a race, but I think the rest of the slower people are missing out on a great event. I really enjoyed the way they had this set up. --Yes I got my ass whooped, but atleast I finished.

  • Comments: This was my first time here, and this would be about as high quality race as you can find for the small-time environment. Kudos to Mike Riley and all those involved. Only problem was with timing and birthdates, but that was out of his control. And they resolved the problem as efficiently as possible. This is a very fun race, and I'll most likely be back every year.
