Race Day

Where do I go on race morning, and what do I need to do before the race?
Take your bike and all your equipment to the transition area entry. You must have your bike helmet available for inspection, which must be ANSI- or Snell-certified. Rack your bike (other than racks reserved for relay teams racks and Challenged Athletes if we have any challenged participants, we allow open racking) and set your gear up. Pick up your timing chip near the transition area, after you have racked your bike. Transition area will be closed 15 minutes prior to race start. ONLY registered athletes are allowed in Transition! All other spectators, coaches, and family members must remain outside the Transition fencing. NO exceptions other than handlers for registered para athletes. Any refusals or repeated offenses will cause the athlete to be disqualified and removed from the race.

Where do I pick up the timing chip?
Timing chips will be available in or near the transition area and are included in the event registration fee. You will put the chip on your ankle and wear it throughout the race. Relay participants will hand off the chip at the bike rack. The chip must be returned at the finish line, or you will be charged a fee by the timing company.

Post-Race
PLEASE do NOT enter Transition if you have finished your race, or attempt to remove your bike from Transition, until the announcer indicates that you are able to do so. All athletes returning from the bike course deserve the opportunity to complete an unimpeded transition to the run. Any athlete entering Transition prior to that time will be disqualified for interference. We will open Transition for that purpose ONLY FOR ATHLETES as soon as we can safely do so. Any attempts to do so will result in disqualification.

Can I keep the timing chip?
No, the chips must be turned in at the end of the race. Volunteers will be at the finish line to help with removal. If they are lost or missing, you will be required to pay for a replacement.

General Information

What is an Aquabike?
The AquaBike is a Swim - Bike event. Aquabike athletes will rack their bikes in transition area and start in their Age Group swim wave. Athletes will complete the swim and bike portion of the event as normal. Their time will stop when they cross the timing mat at the entrance to transition after the bike. Athletes will then rack their bike and may choose to run or walk through the finish line or just proceed directly to the area just after the finish line.

What do I do if my T-Shirt doesn't fit?
T-Shirt exchange is possible on race day morning (Based on availability)

Are there relays?
Yes! We began offering an olympic-distance relay in 2017, and we began offering the sprint-distance relay in 2021.

Is there a Clydesdale or Athena category?
No. There are Open Competitive, Age group divisions, the Challenged Athletes, Military/First Responders, AquaBike and Relays.

Can I listen to my ipod on the bike and run?
No, wearing headphones during the event is a violation of race rules. We do, however, allow athletes to carry their phones on the bike course, to be used only in case of an emergency, NOT to listen to music. Just a note: there ARE course marshals participating as athletes, and any report by these individuals of violations by others WILL result in disqualification.

Will I need a wetsuit and are they legal?
Water temperatures are typically high enough during race day to make wetsuits illegal. Wetsuits are legal only if the water temperature is under 78 degrees Fahrenheit, measured race morning... not likely to happen here in central Texas in June.
