Introduction

Our May events were packed with fun and new faces! We hit the track with Coach Kyle of Try Kyle's Tri Coaching, who led us through a dynamic warm up and a track session designed to improve anaerobic threshold. The Splash and Dash at Twin Lakes was a blast! We combined some of our favorite activities, a brick workout and a cookout. Thank you to the Sessums who provided the grill! 

To the new members, and a reminder for our existing members, be sure to take advantage of all the perks you receive as an active HRTC member. Check out the Local Race Calendar for races in the Houston area. Race/Event discounts are available here - be sure to check the list before registering! This month the team tent will be up at Sylvan Beach and Pomona triathlons - feel free to leave your bags there and grab some shade after. 

The Bike Maintenance Clinic is on Monday, June 8 at the Memorial Park Picnic Loop. Alberto with Bikanics will be there for a hands-on clinic, bring your bike if needed and questions. Yoga for Triathletes is on Saturday, June 27 at the Silver Street Momentum Indoor Climbing Gym.

Hydration: Beat the Heat

Summer has officially hit Houston and these temperatures are no joke. Hydrate early and often before races and workouts. Be sure to have a hydration plan during your workout - know how much you need and where you can refill/replace. Know the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and be sure to lookout for yourself and those around you. 

Not sure how much to drink? Do an at-home sweat test to calculate your sweat loss. These links are examples of how to do that from Precision Hydration adapted from My Sport Science.

Need help creating a plan? Get in touch with a Coach or Specialist.

Many of our sponsors provide electrolytes and other nutrition products, such as BASE performance, INFINIT nutrition, and ZYM hydration. Additionally, members receive discounts at shops that sell these products, such as Fleet Feet Houston.
