What races are on your wish list (in Texas)?

Kemah in the Spring

IMTX in May

Great topic

• Republic of TX Tri Corpus
• Kemah
• CapTex Tri
• Echanted Rock Duatholon
• Marble Falls Tri in July
• Kerville
• Austin Tri Rock

Kerville Tri

Waco Tri

Buffalo Springs 70.3

TriRock in Austin (this was a really great event this year....really well put together and you could actually see in the water....novel idea)

Considering the CapTexTri, but it is pretty much the same course as the TriRock

The playtri events are usually pretty consistent as well sprinkled throughout the summer.  

Anybody have a review on the Waco Olympic distance?

Lonestar 70.3 in Galveston (early April) and Toyota US Open for next year!

I also enjoy the Cooper Sprint Triathlons because of the nice venue (outdoor 50m pool and nice bike/run course) in July for the summer version and probably Sept for the fall version.

Dwight has a good list.  Marble Falls and Kerrville definitely, along with the Enchanted Rock and Blue Norther Du's.  Kemah might get me out of the hill country for a race.  Maybe Galveston 70.3 as well.

Texas State Sprint

Galveston 70.3

CapTex Oly

Pflugerville Sprint

TriWaco Sprint

TriRock Austin Oly

Austin 70.3

HITs Marble Falls 70.3

Benbrook Lake Sprint

Texas Stampede Sprint

Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon Olympic

Would like to do an Olympic distance sometime before the 70.3 in late April.

Galveston 70.3

Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Sprint

Memorial Hermann Houston Oly

Du the Bear

Tri Andy's Tri Sprint

Oil Man Texas

x2. Good List. Just changed the Waco Sprint to the Olympic.

Last year I had some injuries.  This coming year I am feeling good.  I will be going to Houston for Kemah and Corus for the Republic Tri.  I want to get out of Central Texas one more time.  What are the good Tri's up North or West Texas.   I hear the Buffalo one is hard.  I want an Olympic distance.  Any recomendations are welcome.  Small or large.  Captex and  Austin Tri are huge events plus I think Kemah is large.  A smaller venue that is unique is good.  I would consider La or OK.   

My plan for 2013

• Mar  Enchanted Rock
• April Kemah
• MayCaptex
• June
• July Marble Falls Tri
• August Austin Tri Rock
• Sept
• Oct Kerville
• Nove
• Dec Natural Bridge Du

Sweet! I'm doing both of these races also!

Racing the T-Rex course this year. I've heard the hills are brutal, especially the infamous Kruegar Canyon Hill

Put Kemah, Bridgeland, & Houston on your calendars in 2013. We would love to have you all come down.

What do we have to do to get more of the Austin and Dallas crowds to come down for Onurmark races (Kemah, Bridgeland, Houston)? We are selling out far in advance but we'd like to alter our demographic a bit this year and pull in more out-of-town business. Our swag bags in 2013 will be second to none (rival River Cities) and we have some of the most safe, fun, unique courses in Texas. We have a loyal following in the Houston areas but we'd like to see a bigger crowd from Austin and Dallas. I know everyone up there (or a lot of you at least) are getting our promo emails throughout the year : ) What is stopping you from coming down and racing (if you're not)? We are always looking for ways to have out-of-towners that have never done one of our races come down and give it a go and we appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks guys!

For me to travel it needs to be a bigger race. Sprints and Olympics are all over (sprints more than Olympic). The little gym I swim in even has a Sprint. To me thats like 5k, not many people that I know travel for a 5k they just find something local.

Thats just my 2cents. 

Kemah looks to be an awesome race though!

They might be scared of an ocean boat jump...... That was unreal and I will be back. Will be the final tune-up for IMTX

Kemah is an awesome race.  I would travel from just about anywhere within 5 hours of Houston for that race.  Wish I could work it in this year especially given the insane amount of goodies being provided.

So in re: Fmode's post I know several triathletes that won't do ocean swims.  What's up with that?  I have a buddy looking to put together a relay team for 70.3 Galveston and he's had a dozen or so folks tell him no based on the swim, and yes I know that Offat's (sp?) Bayou isn't technically the ocean.

Send you an e-mail as I have no idea which races you are talking about.

You can find vids of the races on Youtube.

Onurleft,

I am coming to Kemah because I have heard excellent things about this event and a few other  Tri's in Houston.  In my opinion it is why most people out of Central Texas go to events in your area.

In Central Texas most of the Tri's I do are also top notch.  After a Tri if  I have a smile on my face and I feel like I played hard in an athletic event I know it was a well done event.  

No real answer for you.  I have heard all positive feedback about Kemah and your other races.  Just keep putting out a good product.

The icebaths your company provided at Captex was heaven.  I blocked this out of my mind and the above was said without this awesome prejudice.

Got something against San Antonio?  Or do you have enough of us at your events already?
