How fast is it?
Slower than most Texas sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:23:45, against 1:20:28 in a typical Texas sprint triathlon, so times here run 4 percent slower.
- Olympic Triathlon: Slower than most US olympic triathlons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 olympic triathlon field finished under 2:54:39, against 2:43:48 in a typical US olympic triathlon, so times here run 7 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
