It's 10 weeks out, so I guess I need to register and start focused training.

Anyone else doing this one? I hear good things about it.

As I mentioned before, I'm gonna try to get a group out to swim in Lake T on Sundays basically starting on Easter Sunday (He is Risen, now let's swim!!). So if anyone wants to toss in some other workouts in here, have at it. Safe Training everyone!

I'm in for the Olympic for the forth year (sprint in 2009 was my first tri).  It's fun racing in downtown Austin.  

I will try to join you at some open water swims, but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it Easter.

I will be there. First CapTex, though did TriRock last year so I think the course is similar. I'm in Edinburg, TX so I don't think I'll get to swim with ya'll.

Have fun, looking forward to it.

great course. really nice smooth roads with great traffic protection make for a fast bike. Weather is anyone's guess. They have had really hot, really nice and rain over the past few years.

Last year, the run was short. But no one was complaining...

What size do you need? I have a large roadie I would loan. Or you could rent one from Mellow Johnny's. of course, you'd have to reserve it now.

It isn't worth THAT much effort. :D  I had already resigned myself to being done with the 30-34 AG anyway! :D

Plus I am a shorty.  My new Surly (deployment bike) is the 42!!!!  I am darn near the smallest size in almost every bike out there...

My biggest bike I've ever owned was a 51cm Cervelo...and that was actually too long for me. :D

I'm in.  I need to focus on the swimming.  I will be at Deep Eddy on Sunday for a swim.  Gomes Bolt has given me some good pointers.  2-300 oclock.

I'm semi interested in this one.  I did the similar race a few years ago (pre-TriRock) and it was alot of fun.  Don't know if I want to deal with the crowds though!

It is similiar to the Austin Tri Rock.  Both nice venues.  I like the bike better in Austin Tri, but Cap tex has a better run course.  More of the large festival type of Tri's.  Participants are pros to 1st timers.  Both well done and good times.

I waited to late this year and I know your going to Marbel Falls, but we got to do Kemah next year, I hear great things about this race.
