Bouldering in Austin

Toby topping out a route

A very busy Memorial Day weekend, Combat Triathlon, Astros Game and some fun in Austin Bouldering and catching up with friends.

I have been bouldering for a couple years thanks to some friends in San Antonio, Joe and Jill. They coach endurance athletes and taught me how to climb. With a couple friends from Houston we headed up to Austin to climb at the North Austin Gym. It is set up primarily for bouldering. There are alot of good routes and great climbs. We got to meet up with my buddy Nick from San Antonio and Samir who got to climb for their first time. Some pics and a couple videos are here.

2025 Otillo Austin Sprint SwimRun - Team Just Carry Me

  Back in May Chloe and I decided to take on the Otillo Austin Sprint Distance Swimrun event. I was able to talk her into it by showing her the cliff jump first. Nevermind the 2 hours of running and swimming required. She has had a good couple years of running, and was one a neighborhood championship meet qualifier for the 10 & under 25 yard breaststroke, so she will be fine. I also made the decision it was time to really try to become a better swimmer. Its less impact on my lower body and I always like to mix up my racing and training to become a better overall athlete. A swimrun was going to push my swim boundaries to the max. Barton Sprints Over the last few months we have been able to connect in Houston and Austin for some tethered swims. Each swim taught us something new. How to make a tether, where to place it for the swim, where to place it for the run, it can come untied or unclipped and how to just have fun. I even decided to customize our race wetsuits with PVC patch ...
