Tejas Triathlon 2008

Sunday, June 08, 2008

8th annual Tejas Triathlon will host up to 800 triathletes for an awesome sprint distance race with a 600 yard swim, 11 mile flat and fast bike, and a shaded 3 mile run.

RACE LOCATION & COURSE

The race will be at Pecan Park in the New Territory sub-division of Sugar Land, Texas, near the intersection of Hwy 99 and Hwy 90. The man-made lake in New Territory is an ideal setting for novice triathletes as well as experienced veterans. The water temperature will be very warm-well above the 78 degree cut-off for wetsuits. The bike course is flat but windy and leads into a 3 mile shaded loop that ends underneath 100 year-0ld pecan trees.

NEW ELITE WAVE

We will have an elite wave in 2008, for those triathletes that want to go up against the best! Athletes entering this wave will not be eligible for age group awards. This division will start in the first wave, 1 minute ahead of the first age group wave.

RACE DISTANCES

Swim - 600 yards
Bike - 11 miles
Run - 3 miles

FIELD SIZE

800 Individual Triathletes 
25 Teams

COMPUTER CHIP TIMING & RESULTSCadence Sports Timing

We will have computer chip timing with all split times, including transitions. Chip fees are included in race registration fees. Chips will be handed out on race morning and turned in after crossing the finish line. Participants will not be allowed to use their own chips because the chip system is completely different. Complete results will be posted at  Runner Triathlete News, out-loud.org, and  Cadence Sports as soon as possible after the race.

AWARDS

Awards will be given out to the overall Male and Female and overall Master's Male and Female. Creative age group awards will go at least 3 deep and further. Age groups will begin at 14 & under and go in 5 year increments through 70+. There will be Clydesdale (men over 200 lbs.) and Athena (women over 150 lbs.) weight division awards 5 deep. Relay awards will go 3 deep in men's, women's, and co-ed categories.
