I did the Sprint. My roommate was so far out in front that the course workers were not expecting him and he turned around where it said "turn around" but it was the 2 mile fun run turn around. So thanks to him, I got 10th overall after he got DQ'ed. He said next time he would look at the course map first. They didn't even post his splits, they just erased him from the results.
It was pretty funny hearing the announcer make a big deal about him before the race... "Ohhhh, I see 'so and so' is here, this should be interesting, he is a really fast swimmer, biker and runner." He would have won by more than a minute or 2
Glad I had my wetsuit! All in all it was a great, fun, very short race. Could have had a little better organization though.
And what's the deal starting the women 5 minutes before the men? I started catching women before the turnaround, and of course swimming over them as they weave back and forth. I feel bad that the poorer swimmers at the back are the ones i push underwater while they are already struggling.

Yeah, i remember you passing me right before the second aid station I think.
I am not in the 25-59 AG because I raced clydesdale. I weigh 230 and my run just suffers because of it, so to build my ego I like to win the clydes class by 8 minutes. just kidding.
That Damiano guy can run for such a short guy.
This was my second tri ever also, pretty good showing for both of us.
I am over in Dallas by White Rock Lake.
Well, my first race of the season is tomorrow. I'm pretty excited, and nervous since it's only my second race ever. I feel ready to go though.
Anybody else in the north texas area doing the playtri festival?
