Awesome race report! I was there spectating and volunteering. I heard your name called when you got out of the water. I wish I knew then what you looked like. Great job out there. |

Hey Marcy, Hope the recovery is going well (-: Have you heard anything back from them? I sent an email as well and no reply yet? Jeff Sent them a note of Facebook and they replied that we should be getting the link to the image files soon! |

New user ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congrats to all the finishers!! You are all amazing! I was at bike aid station #2 and then was able to watch the pros finish. Makes me want to sign up and do this next yeaer. I've got my first HIM in Kerrville come October so we'll see. Question though, some of you mentioned being stopped on the bike course. I've never been in a tri where I've had to stop because of traffice on the bike. How in the world is this possible, I mean there were Kona spots up for grabs here? I did think it was odd that traffic was open in BOTH directions at our aid station. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Does anyone have any information about the crash that happened in Dobbin? A spectator tried to cross the road and was hit by a cyclist. I heard he was able to get back on his bike and the spectator went to the hospital and is now recovering. Does anyone know if he was able to finish? |

Thanks i got my transition bags satuday night. actually my wife got them. at the end of lap two i dumped my visor and garmin in run special needs, clearly not thinking, right. so on sunday morning they opened up the trucks and the transitions bags were there but no special needs. i asked where they were and was told they got tossed. lol! this damn race, i really f'd it up all around. its all on me, they clearly stated time and again not to put anything of value in the special needs bags. oh, my sunglasses were in there to. :-) |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow, that sucks. But they did say that you wouldn't be getting special needs bags back. In fact, the one guy kept calling them "special foods" to emphasize the intent. |

I'm pretty tired too ![]() Even though you never got a mention at the Athletes Dinner or Awards Lunch, all of us here know that your efforts were the main reason this event went over so well. |

Regular![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks ![]() Just back from the woodlands and a post-race wrap up with all of the authorities. Everyone loved it. It'll only be better next year, I'm sure. There are always glitches the first year, but I'm happy to say they were minimal this year. Really happy with how it went, and glad you all enjoyed it!!!!!! People really have NO idea about what goes into putting something like this on. It's an incredible effort, by literally thousands of people. The event has been about 18 months in the making. I think kudos should be given to everyone: the sheriffs dept, the woodlands township, the community, ems, memorial hermann, the spectators, and YOU. It was a tough day out there!!!!!!!! |

Ok, I heard from a very reliable source that the txdot engineer that stopped the racers was arrested, cuffed and stuffed. Anything you want to confirm or deny? Btw, if true, hilarious.![]() |

Next year you need to focus on making the RWB Aid Station double-plus awesome, showing the rest of us how it's done. You can do the race the year after that. I hear the weather will be cooler for the 2013 race anyway. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I wasn't part of the bike stoppage, but over on ST they're saying it was the result of some self-important TXDOT employee/official who got caught up in traffic. Apparently unaware of the approval process the race had gone through, he decided that the sheriff at the intersection wasn't allowed to hold up traffic for so long and forced him to stop the racers. That guy needs to be fired. |

I guess it'll be full within a week, maybe faster ![]() Please keep us updated if you can (as if you have nothing better to do :-)) I'm on the fence (the I'm 99% sure I'm going to sign up just have to find $700 fence) as are several of my friends. I think we're almost daring each other to sign up again but none of us are moving quite as fast as we might should be. And THANK YOU for an AWESOME RACE!! |

Regular![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() come join us!!!!!! The longterm weather forecast calls for a cold front coming in on thur before the race, with highs of 74 on race day, and 50% humidity. Winds are called for NNE at 1mph ![]() We had 45,000 lbs of ice for the race, and used almost all of it ![]() Drinks and sponges stayed cold, though!!!!!! |

![]() | ![]() I had a great time volunteering and cheering everyone on! What an incredible day! I think one of the highlights was cheering a girl into the finish 20 minutes after midnight. My friends and I saw her in the distance with med motorcycles surrounding her. One of them told us her name. We ran along the side with her all the way to the finish and though the lights were off and most everyone was gone, and finish line was breaking down, they put her finishers medal on. AWESOME! I made a video montage of the amazing day, you may see yourself in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0ul6b1PaQQ Kelly |

Roped one more in for sure - I imagine it will be 5-10 in the next few days. I actually heard a cold front is going to hit Montgomery, or well Grimes, then Montgomery county around 11am on Saturday, May 19, after stiff south winds had been blowing throughout the morning. |
