Pure Austin and Jack and Adam's puts on Splash and Dash during the months of April through September. It is like a mini triathlon minus the cycling. You get to experience swimming 750m with a large group of people and then the quick transition to the 3km run.
Dates: May 17th, June 21st, July 16th, and September 20th Cost: $10 (Pure Austin membership not required) Registration: Only available online. There is no registration at the race site. This generally sells out. Refunds are not available. Sign up online at www.myraceregistration.com
Each year to get ready for the Cap Tex Tri we do a mini triathlon to prepare us. There are several in the Austin area that are great!
Mini triathlons helps you to calm some nerves, practice swimming with a group of people around you, understand how to transition, and prepares your body for all 3 events put together. You don't have to be fully trained and ready, but it will give you an idea of what you need to focus on in your training.
We do the Skeese Greets Tri at the Texas Ski Ranch in New Braunfels, TX (sorry guys...its ladies only). This year it is on May 8th and consists of a 300 m swim, 11 mile bike, and 2 mile run! Below is a video from the race a few years ago (you might see some ladies you recognize...the blue hat person is me...ha!).
