Course intelligence

Know the course before you race it.

Terrain

Buffalo Springs Lake swim. Hilly exposed bike through the Texas High Plains with significant climbing. Brutal hilly run in full Texas summer heat.

Conditions

June in West Texas: 85–100°F, low humidity, relentless sun. Wind is almost always present and can be severe. Easily the hottest 70.3 in North America.

Aid Stations

Four bike aid stations; run aid every mile. More ice available than most events given the extreme heat.

Key Challenge

This is the most heat-challenging 70.3 in the US. Core temperature regulation is the primary race challenge — nutrition collapses are usually heat-driven, not quantity-driven.
