This past weekend I raced in my second Sugar Land Duathlon. This was my first multi-sport race last year, so I was looking to see what kind of improvement I could make. I really wanted to improve on my fifth place from last year, and beat all the "runners". The first run was set off at quick pace by the Houston Marathon winner Drew Prisner and Track State Champion Rainbolt. I finished the first two miles in 9th place. On the bike I passed all but the 1st relay and Dana Lyons and John Zuilof. I struggled on the second run and was passed by Austin Conner who took the 39 and Under win, and I finished second, dropping 2 minutes from last year. So now its off to a few road races to see how I and my new Rudy Project helmet and shades stack up against the roadies and then to the Duathlon World Championship
Over the weekend Bike Houston put on a great event, the Midnight Moonlight Ramble . I had the pleasure of riding the 20 mile route with some good friends. The ride starts and finishes at the George R. Brown Convention Center and takes you through the Galleria area and down Memorial and Allen parkway for a scenic tour of Houston. By the way, the ride starts at 2 AM with the festivities beginning at midnight. The ride is for everybody, Hard Core Roadies, Nob heads, sub-culture messengers and families with tow-alongs.
