28 | Subject: is the season really over? Maybe I'm just not looking right, but I do'nt see any tris in the Houston area after October. Really? Am I just not checking the right websites? With my first tri coming up, I hate to have a long break before the next... need the continuous motivation! |

Member 341 Austin | Subject: RE: is the season really over? It is the end of the season. My last tri for the season was last Sunday. Ready for the break, I did 9 Tri's this season and a few other "races" in there too. 2 months to train now for a marathon.
Look into some Duathlons they usually run later in the year. |

There will be a ton of running races out there. Plus the season starts here pretty early. It gives you time to pinpoint weaknesses and get better. |

28 | Subject: RE: is the season really over? understand, but that's not the question. Road races tend to be large, faceless events with little personality and a lot of rudeness (for lack of a better term). the smaller events lit sprint and oly tris seem to have more friendly and supportive faces. Check out a Tejas Trails trail endurance run. those people know how to support a runner! so I was wondering if duathlons tended to be more like big events or more relaxed and fun. I guess it depends on the event, but generally it's fair to categorize an event with 5000participants as faceless. it's still amusing that the tri season is ending in texas. some people start early, others late, so the number of personal events is irrelevant. the water isn't really that cold, esp with wetsuits. Heck, a winter challenge series would actually be fun! |

Veteran 348 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: is the season really over? Yeah, Oilman is the last tri until C Different in March. There is the Du the Polar Bear duathlon in February. You'll most get triathletes at that race, so it'll be a similar atmosphere. It just gets too cold to swim. I was planning on doing some of the training rides for MS150. I don't plan on doing the MS150, but a lot of these rides are quality events in their own right. (sag supported, police at intersections, aid stations, etc). Most are not timed, but for can be a lot of fun. 2013-2014 rides: The List Lots of running races too: Houston Running Calendar Edited by chris00nj 2013-10-08 8:56 AM |

I did the one in Denton a few years back. Fun race. I did however make the mistake of not drying my feet off before getting on the bike. It was cold enough that my feet went numb about 3 miles in to the ride. LOL |

It's not that I wouldn't like to, but with two small kids I have limited away time so I'd rather do a couple of tris than do the MS-150. |
