Just out....
Your safety is our number one priority. Due to recent rainfall, the team at Life Time Tri CapTex has been closely monitoring the water quality of Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake). After significant consideration and consultation, the team has decided to continue with the swim portion of the race.
Following City of Austin guidelines, Life Time Tri CapTex will place signage along the course advising swimmers to use caution. This is the city's recommended protocol after receiving 1 inch of rain within 72 hours on an event.
While there is no data to suggest the swim portion of the event should be canceled, we will be creating a non-swim wave for those who do not wish to participate in the swim. The non-swim waves will begin after the last swimmer of each distance exits the water, and will be a bike-run only format. Non-swim athletes must report to the Life Time Tri tents in each distance's transition area, near swim entrance to transition, and we will be starting those athletes in a time trial format. The non-swim athletes will not be eligible for awards.
