Rank your top 3 favorite sprint races based on course alone (not production company). Mine would have to be!


1. Take on the Heat
2. Stonebridge Ranch Tri
3. St. Pats (great course when its not 20 degrees out)

2.  Blackland

3.  Tri the Rock

Tyler,
Subject: RE: Top Three Sprint Races in North Texas
RCT is in East Texas, not North Texas   but clearly is the best by far...allthough Four States does give it a close run, probably because they brought the Hooter's girls out in 2008. I am planning on coming back to Four States in 2010.  The others mentioned don't come close.

1) Rose City (Tyler)
2) Four States (Texarkana)
3) Old College Tri (when it was in Southlake)/Take on the Heat (The Colony)

1. Prairieman Sprint (the old Metroplex sprint course) - flat and fast
2. Stonebridge - fast bike with moderately tough run
3. St. Patty's - hilly, fast bike; like the out-and-back run

Honorable mentions. I could put any of these as number 3, but had to pick one.
Playtri Festival - OW swim; fast bike and run
Blackland - smooth, fast bike; part cross-country run is fun
Denison(it's coming back next year) - hilly bike with hilly and part trail run

2. Blackland
3. Jefferson City

Half the fun of racing is getting out of the city and trying something different.
