Windy Day in La Porte TX


The Bayou City Triathlon  team did a great job getting this race done! The day was very windy, and they had to adjust the swim course the morning of for the triathlon.



For those of us non-swimmers it was just a windy day on the bike.



For my first race on the road in years I really spent the day enjoying being back out among some old friends and also re-learning what it felt like to push the pace and get comfortable in a race.



I made some rookie mistakes in transition, forgot my socks altogether and definitely have some work to do on the bike!

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.
