The TexasMan Triathlon was a great first time event. The RD really put together a memorable event. The weather was perfect in the morning, 70 degrees, and overcast sky's the whole morning. It was a wetsuit legal swim, so I dawned the wetsuit Phil loaned me. I lathered my legs up with PAM so that it would slide off easily. The swim was pretty quick and the first transition went smooth, but my chip came off when I took my wetsuit off.. so no more official splits. The bike course was very hilly and had strong head winds. So I wasn't able to keep up a good rolling speed. After about 3 miles I had moved up to 2nd place but I wasn't making any headway on the leader. Going into T2 I put my run shoes on and tried to feel the inside of my wetsuit for my chip, but couldn't reach far enough to grab it. My run was pretty typical of this year, a slow ugly death..

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.
