Last month we heard about some great races.  Now it is time to start training for those races.  Come out for a bike ride on Sat March 9.  We’ll meet at the parking garage behind Snooze in LA Centerra at 7 am and start rolling at 7:30 am. Then on March 25, we will have our social at Urban South Brewery.  There will be 3 coaches that will share some great training advice.  Coach Karen from Tri Lab Endurance will discuss the importance of strength training, mobility, and flexibility. Coach Jeff from Rampage will discuss mindfulness while training and racing. Coach Deuterio will discuss fueling for training and race day nutrition.   Afterwards they will be available for any questions.  At this social, we will be raffling off the Kolaches and Kilometers bike ride.  This ride is on May 26 in West.  

Not a sponsored HRTC event, but another bike riding opportunity is on Saturday March 30 at 7 am. Lifetime in Katy (23211 Cinco Ranch Blvd, Katy, TX 77494) is having a Kickoff LT ride.  The ride distances are 42,32, and 26 miles.  This supported ride will have music and snacks.

Remember if you wear HRTC gear at races either as a participant or as a volunteer, you’ll earn a raffle ticket at the Christmas Party in December for the Participation Prize worth $700.  To help you with your gear, the Tristore is now open.  The store will close on March 31.  Click on the link to access the store: HOUSTON RACING TRI CLUB – Delfina Athletics.  If you volunteer at a HRTC sponsored aid station, you’ll gain a raffle ticket for helping.   But you would stay cooler and look great in an HRTC hat.  There are 2 opportunities in April to volunteer at the HRTC aid station at Ironman Texas and Ironman Galveston 70.3.   Keep reading for more Information signing up for those volunteering opportunities.

We want to hear from you.  Please take 5 minutes and let us know your opinion. Click on the following  Survey.  By completing the survey by March 31st,   you’ll gain a raffle ticket for the Participation Prize at the Christmas Party and help us plan future events. 

Happy Racing,
