Results
9th annual Tejas Triathlon will host up to 800
triathletes for an awesome sprint distance race with a 600 yard swim, 12
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-old pecan trees.
ELITE WAVE
We will have an elite wave again in 2009, 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.
