  • Comments: Great race! Only two improvements would be to have a port-a-john right at the run out and have a central houston packet pickup during the week.

  • Comments: Onurmark puts on great events! I very much enjoyed all 3 of theirs that I raced this year. If it weren't for the long T1, I would have PRed by about 3 minutes.

  • Comments: Very well put on event with a lot of unique challenges throughout the course. It's nice to have some variety in the events, seems a lot of people just want flat/fast/PR courses but I prefer the uniqueness of an event. I wasn't a huge fan of the long transition run but that's cause I suck at running. Aaron did the best he could with the situation and I hope the 2-loop swim course stays around for next year! Personally I'm slightly frustrated with my race, I gave it everything I had that day but it sucks when you know there's more to give... I'm glad to figure out the bike issue now rather than Clearwater and am looking forward to a few more weeks of hard training before taper!

  • Comments: A well-run race. Traffic jam coming in, but mostly because so many people got there on the late side. I should know not to be one of those people.

  • Comments: Excellent race. The most varied run course I can think of. Flat and fast bike course with plenty of police and cones. Swim to bike transition distance was a little long, but I think that just added to the unique nature of this race.

  • Comments: I did not like the swim course and hated starting so far back in the waves. I'm guessing the reasoning for the waves is the amount of people in each wave and maybe the average expected race time for that group but it really caused problems for me with all of the passing I had to do on the swim and bike. I would like to try getting into an invitational wave for a race to see how that goes with being able to leave first. Overall, this was a good race for my first Olympic distance race. My goal was to be under 2h 15min but there were a lot of factors that I had not considered. My goal time for the swim was 20 min but looking at the results, no one swam 20 min so maybe a long course or just a lot of traffic? My goal on the bike was 1h5min, I was very close to this and considering the near crash. My run? Well thats just a work in progress, no comment!

  • Comments: Great race and well organized, especially for its first year. Onurmark did a great job again. All the volunteers were great too....lots of cheering at each station. Traffic management was excellent and needed given the high traffic areas that the course went through.

  • Comments: As usual, On Ur Left puts on another great race. Volunteers were great. Water / G-ade / Heed was cold. Pizza was warm. Really nice T-shirt and finisher medal. The police officers were AWESOME. This course crossed the paths of the traffic quite a few times and it seemed to me the racers got the right of way every time. I thanked every officer I came to because I was stopped for traffic for quite awhile in my first DU. The bike /run course was pretty well marked. There were only a couple of spots that took a second to figure out where to go. Great job again by Aaron and OUL - I am positive they will take the comments and make it even better next year. I will likely give the two "local" races for me a shot again next year (Bridgelands + Towne Lake)
