  • Comments: Awesome race. High Five Events (Jack and Adams) do an awesome job. Volunteers were awesome, post race was awesome, events were on time, announcers were great, schwag was good. My only complaint is that they need mats on the bike and run course, at least for the Olympic, to note the multiple loops. Some Olympic competitors have 28-30mph avgs on the bike= 2 loops. I actually received the 2nd in AG award, but looking at the results, the gal that supposedly beat me also supposedly ran a 27 min 10K at a 4:23min/mile pace. Yeah, I don't think so...that's called ONE LOOP not two of the run course. So, I'm claiming a 1st AG win. :) Granted, the girl that beat me last year was a volunteer this year, and the other fasties for my AG raced the Open Wave (thankfully!). So, that's my only suggestion for improvement I think the race needs. you can't really shorten transition, so other than that piece...make it rain so there is less dust--EVERYTHING afterwards was covered in nasty dusy. I guess it

  • Comments: Good race overall but not stellar. Galveston still wins as best race EVER. This race was just...nice. Really good spectators, though. And the bike route was more interesting than Galveston, even if it was multiple loops.

  • Comments: Overall a great race put on. Great volunteers and people working the event, plus lots of spectators to help cheer you on. The people out there really helped keep me going on that run, so I am grateful to them.

  • Comments: I guess I can't really complain to much about my results. Sure, with a proper taper I would've been faster, but this was a B race at best. I also need to remember I was 16 minutes faster this year than I was last year so I must be in somewhat better shape. And it was much hotter this year than it was last year. This is a great race and I'll continue to do it as long as they hold it.

  • Comments: Well organized, great volunteers, great organization, great post race food/drinks available, U2 cover band, friendliness, etc. My only complaints were the FOREVER long run with the bike to the mount line (dimsount in wasn't as bad), and how crowded the course became. Otherwise, awesome race and I'd love to do it again!

  • Comments: Awesome race. Plenty of nice volunteers, live music on the run and in transitions, good food afterwards. Since I am not from Austin I was a little concerned about navagating the bike course, but it was clearly marked and there were plenty of people to point you in the right direction. I can't wait till next year.

  • Comments: For an inaugural race, this race was incredibly well organized with a big turnout (695 finishers!) Adam calling out everyone's name super-enthusiastically when they were coming in, lots of crowd support, and volunteers. Couldn't have been happier. Jack & Adam must have some sort of voodoo too, because they managed to keep the rain away for the entire duration of the race!
