  • Comments: Why does Jack have to be so MEAN?! I agree with others - post race was a little lame. However, I took almost the entire time, so at the same time I'm glad there were still people around when I finished! The Volunteers were awesome and I always had an aid station within a reasonable distance. Definitely felt like I would have lots of support if I suddenly crashed or collapsed from exhaustion.

  • Comments: I'm gonna have to be honest. This was one of Jacks poorer races. The overall race was PHENOMINAL. Great aid stations, and having Gatorade endurance on the bike course was amazing. But the post race SERIOUSLY lacked. I've done/been to this race 4 out of the past 5 years and this was a significant decline. First off I didnt get an actual race shirt because all they had left were XS and XL. Ester told me I'd get a finisher shirt the next day. Well I didnt. I was told since I did the relay I didnt get a finisher shirt, So I stole/took an Aquabike finisher shirt since I technically did the aquabike. Thought that was BS. The awards were by far the most poor awards they've ever had. The past years they jack has given an event shirt, a finisher shirt, and normally a finisher mug. (plus any age group hardware, which year before last was a NICE glass paperweight in the shape of Texas w/ your place ingraved) This year jack didnt give finisher mugs, instead of put "1st Place or 2nd Place or

  • Comments: The race festivities afterwords were not that great. For all the flack that Dallas Sports University (formerly Dallas Athletes) has taken, they put on a far better race from an entertainment and cool down perspective. Of course, the fact that I was basically a walking zombie afterwords probably had something to do with my perception. I don't think I'll be doing this one again though. I'd like to find something with at least some shade... it was like running in the Sahara dessert.
