Kemah looks more interesting to me now! I really hope that HITS gets there act together. That said I Kemah is a much more established race and seems much better run than the first event. Plus it seems a bit cheaper. Now, if you really want to HTFU you could do Marble on Saturday, and Kemah on Sunday. I will not be doing that.  That would be a possible option (I'm laughing as i'm typing this) if I wanted to do the HITS Oly, but I was looking at the 70.3 option which is on Sunday. If HITS can figure out the basics before April (like marking the course), I'll probably still do that. Although the boat thing at Kemah sounds pretty cool... Well, in defense of HITS if you read the ST thread on the second day it seemed to be much better put together. So even if the Sprint/Oly go badly they seemed to figure it out for the half/full. The winner of the full posted that he asked for coke from a aid station, and they stocked several of the stations with it, and got him some in 1/2 a mile. That was pretty good customer service. Like I said, I'd love to have them make it, and would consider doing Corpus if I wasn't tenatively doing the Austin half mary that weekend. Edited by NewClydesdale 2011-12-06 10:49 AM
