Faster than most Texas sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:14:09, against 1:20:28 in a typical Texas sprint triathlon, so times here run 8 percent faster.
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.
Around April 4 the day usually runs from 56°F at dawn to 75°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 48°F and hot years reach 84°F.
