Thousands of track athletes and fans make the annual pilgrimage to Austin for the Texas Relays.

From sprint races, relays, distance races to field events, it's a hectic schedule..

According to one Lake Travis track athlete, it's a time and place to joke around and get ready for their race,

"We keep it relaxed before we go out and compete"

It's somewhat shocking what you find underneath the bleachers. It's like a hotel. Blowup mattresses. All the food you could ask for. Hammocks hung by the rafters of the bleachers.

In other words, what happens under the bleachers, stays under the bleachers..
