How fast is it?

Slower than most Texas sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2025 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:28:02, against 1:20:28 in a typical Texas sprint triathlon, so times here run 9 percent slower.

  • Duathlon: About average for US duathlons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 duathlon field finished under 1:23:12, against 1:20:51 in a typical US duathlon, so times here are about average.

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.

Typical race-day weather

Around October 10 the day usually runs from 65°F at dawn to 87°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 8% of days. Cold snaps dip to 52°F and hot years reach 91°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
