The IRONMAN Texas course
The 2.4-mile swim is point-to-point, starting at North Shore Park in Lake Woodlands and finishing through a spectator-lined canal at Town Green Park. The 112-mile bike leaves The Woodlands for two loops on the Hardy Toll Road, mostly closed to traffic, flat and exposed to wind. The 26.2-mile run is three laps around Lake Woodlands, passing Hippie Hollow, and finishes on Waterway Ave. The event is the IRONMAN North American Championship.
Race-day conditions
The course page says the lake averages 74 °F, so athletes should be prepared to swim with or without a wetsuit. The bike course is entirely exposed and often windy.
What to train for
Build aerobic durability across all three sports and practice race-day fueling in long bricks, since nutrition often decides the second half of the marathon. Rehearse pacing so the bike effort leaves enough in reserve for a steady run. The flat, windy bike rewards long steady efforts in the aero position, and heat training helps for the three-lap run.

How long should I train for the IRONMAN Texas?

The coach counts back from your actual race date, so if you have less time than that it builds the best plan the remaining weeks allow rather than pretending you have longer.
