  • Comments: Great venue for a race, too bad IKE hit last year and they had to modify the bike and run. But nice job by Keith getting it done. Definately a great stop for early season race, especially now that I live about 23 miles from there since I just moved last year from Austin to houston, clear lake area! Would definately do this one again.

  • Comments: So, maybe someone can help me out with what happened to my race as I cannot figure out the exact cause. About mile 5 of the bike I got razor sharp stomach/intestinal pains. I figured they would be gone in a few minutes, but they never left. They proceeded to get much worse. By the second half of the bike I could not even get down into the aero position anymore as they hurt so bad. I got into the run and started it off walking and taking in all the water I could hoping to kick the pain so I could finish. The pain was much worse during my walk than it even was on the bike and running was completely out of the question. I ended up walking one loop of the course in just over an hour and I had to call it quits. 4 hours of razor sharp pain was my limit. I'm sure many of you probably saw me on the run course as I was walking and kind of doubled over while doing so. It was extremely dissapointing as this was my first half and I was very excited to make a good showing which obviously did

  • Comments: I do like the Endorfun Sports events. Always set up great. I love having the racks numbered, they take care of you on the exit out of the water with carpeting in and out of the water. The food is good, the band is good, the announcing is awesome, the shirts, hat, towel, and water bottle are great. The AquaBike division was great for me cause I could still race. The awards and give aways were great. The only notes I have are that they should've run the Half before the Quarter as we have longer out there, and we were all over the run course for the 1/4 cause it goes through the swim start area. Also, leave the caps on the water bottles! Otherwise, well done.

  • Comments: There's a reason I've done 7 of Keith's races in the last 1 1/2 years. If you can get to one, do it. They're some of the best races in the country.

  • Comments: Good race, lots of volunteers. The run route was a little strange, but that's due to hurricane Ike last year, so they did really well given the circumstances. It was even a little fun.
