  • Comments: My rating would be a 5 except for the swim delay. I don't know how that could be improved upon. The race organizers and volunteers were great. The race seemed to be very organized. I was very impressed. I was very happy I chose this for a first race.

  • Comments: Body marking process could use some fine tuning. My half ironman with over 2500 racers went smoother than this race with only 800 racers. Volunteers were great though.

  • Comments: There are some things DA does that are really good, but sometings that are always an issue. Tom always makes the races fun and very un-intimidating for the first timers. They always seem to have issues with results and having people wait way too long for awards. Monster is kind of a legacy race for me. It's so close to my house that it's hard to say no to it. I do think that it is getting too big though. Having people wait over 2 hours to get into the pool is too long. Still had fun and a great way to end the season.

  • Comments: DA sprint races are probably the most expensive in the area but the swag and post race merits it. Race was delayed slightly but probably just as well to let the sun come up.

  • Comments: After my first full season of doing triathlons, I can say without a doubt that I like the events put on by Dallas Athlets the best. I LOVE how they keep it fun all the way through, welcome newcomers, and take great care of everyone racing at the same time. I talked to Tom (I think that's who it was...he was dressed as Princess Leia) in transition about a medical issue. You would have never known how busy he probably was by the way he handled it. This was also my very first tri a couple years ago, and it's in part due to the people who run this race that I'm still coming back for more.

  • Comments: Dissappointed in the swim portions organization. They need to plan that out and put people in order. 682 people take a long time to swim, so it needs to be much more organized.
