Subject: RE: Tejas TriathlonLuke, This is a fun and very well-organized race. A few pointers: 1) The lake has alligators, but you don't find that out until the end of the run. As you come back in the back side of the park towards the finish, there is a sign that says "do not disturb the alligators." It was funny to me when I saw it, considering we didn't find out about the sign until near the end of the race....and we never saw a single alligator so don't worry. 2) The water was very warm...lukewarm bath kinda warm, in 2005. It is shallow on the sides near the shore and there were actually a few people running in the water instead of swimming....heh. 3) The bike course was great, but if it hasn't changed, be VERY careful near the Mason Road turnaround as there are expansion joints there and several people got their wheels caught in the expansion joints and ended up going over the handlebars. You will like the race...it was a great time, and the park there is pretty and great for spectators. Have fun this weekend! Edited by OldAg92 2007-06-08 10:48 AM
