Dam 09 Triathlon Where & When

I have done this event 15+ times. The Dam 09 is a damn fine event. Always has been. The venue is super, the support is great, and Air Force volunteers are especially helpful. Roger and Lisa never fail to put on a great event! Looking forward to at least 10 more. (I'm 78.) .
JACK S.2/2 found this review helpful.I wouldn’t do it again
I was very disappointed in the race compared to the amount of money I paid. The swim wasn’t organized at all, it seemed like it would be based on time and more of an announcement would have been made prior to the swim. I didn’t like that at the finish you had to get your own water. I figured water could have been set out. The food that was provided for the money wasn’t much. The email said “breakfast†which i assumed would be more than a sausage wrap, orange slice and half a banana.

Participant
Well organized, competitive, and fun. I suggest that the awards be upgrade to reflect the achievements of the athletes. Safety became an issue when participants were confronted with trucks and cars on the same course.

Wonderful Volunteers!
This is my second Triathlon and I enjoyed myself so much I am happy to keep training and improving my time to try it again. I thought all the volunteers and participants were positive, friendly and encouraging. I noticed that for the second half of the run it was mostly in the shade as the temperature was rising and that was appreciated.

This was my first triathlon. I appreciate everyone that was out there because they all encouraged me to keep going. I finished last but I finished and next year I have a goal to beat.

Great Intro to Sprint Triathlons
This was an amazing race if you're also looking to get started in this sport. I would highly recommend this even to new and returning triathletes!

Great Race for casual triathletes
Great Race ..very organized, great food and drink at finish line. It is a good race for the casual triathlete...the pool swim is not crowded with swimmers on top of you. I wish the bike course could be something other than loops or rough road, but I can appreciate the course layout to control the amount of security you need. Run course is good.
Participant
Lisa and Roger Soler put on a great triathlon!! The course is exciting and challenging for both beginners and experienced triathletes. It is well organized, and the food, especially the spicy sausages wrapped in tortillas, are exceptional. I would highly recommend participating in this event since it is local and is the oldest triathlon of its kind in the San Antonio metropolitan area. Plus, the awards, consisting of the "sapo" (frog) logo on the coffee mugs are unique and original.

Great event in unusual circumstances
You gotta hand it to Roger and Lisa. This year has been crazy, and there was no clue whether the race would *actually* happen a week out from race day. Nonetheless, the race was extremely well organized under the new protocols, and everything was safe, fun, and smooth! I really enjoyed the course as well and would sign back up for this event in a heartbeat.
Great Race
Under the circumstances of Covid, I thought this was an outstanding race. Everyone followed protocol and had a great time. Will definently be here again next year.

Enjoyable race
As a first-timer at a triathlon, I was grateful for the hostess' timely response to my email about my questions/concerns prior to the race. I got a friend to use my reference link to sign up and was refunded $10 for doing so. That was nice to save a little cash. The transition area was we'll put together and having the bike rack space assigned was fine. There were plenty of volunteers to answer questions about the course and to direct people. This event also ran smoothly using COVID-19 protocols. Social distancing and masks were encouraged before and after the race. Food, water, and Gatorade provided after the race was a nice gesture. Although the bike course was slightly rough with some imperfections in the road or sharp turns, it was a great challenge and I hope to do this event again in the future.
