Attention triathletes … it’s race weekend, and the water’s perfect.

Water temperature in Lady Bird Lake is a pleasantly cool 68 degrees, according to Rick Margiotta, co-director of the Capital of Texas Triathlon.

Packet pickup for the 19th annual race is from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at the CapTexTri Sports Fitness Expo at Palmer Events Center downtown.

The race has officially sold out, with more than 2,700 age group athletes and 65 elite and professional athletes on the roster. If you missed signing up, you’ve still got a shot at racing. Go to packet pickup at 6 p.m. Sunday. Any pre-registered athletes who do not show by 6:30 p.m. or have dropped out will forfeit their packet and those waiting can enter in their place.

If you can’t get in as an athlete, consider volunteering.

This year’s triathlon benefits the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project, which provides adaptive equipment, sports training and travel accommodations to combat veterans severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. For more information, go to www.dsusa.org.
