2024 was a fun year thanks to our speakers, local coaches, local race directors and all our members!  I want to thank the board members for their work.  Your 2024 board included John Mayfield, Leo Tellez, Elizabeth Kenska, Dee Dee Lincoln, Christina Powell, and Lisa Bergstrom. Special thanks to John Tuttle and Gina Sessums.   John manned the HRTC tent at local events and was the lead for the volunteer groups. Gina put in countless hours helping organize the Christmas Party and Race Directors Meeting.  I’m looking forward to participating in next year’s HRTC events.  Congratulations to the 2025 Board members.  They are John Mayfield, Joanna Nami, Elizabeth Kenska, Christina Powell, Dave Rainey, Alberto Vivas, and Erin Martino.

The Holiday Party is Thursday, Dec 5 at Jax Grill.  Every member receives one ticket to purchase a meal at Jax Grill and one raffle ticket when they sign in at the meeting.  Additional raffle tickets may be purchased 1 for $5, or 5 for $20.  The grand prize is a Normatec Lower body compression.  Other prizes include swim lessons, bike tune up, Fleet Feet gift cards, Hypervolt, Moody garden tickets, et al.   There will be some races in the raffle, so check your calendar.

Coach John's Tip for the month

We are fortunate to have a long triathlon season in Houston.  HRTC members have opportunities to race from March all the way through November or even longer!  This length of training can certainly take a toll on the body, so take advantage of this time of year.  Now is a good time for a physical with complete blood work to ensure you are truly healthy in addition to being fit.  Some time away from swimming, cycling, and running is fine, but don’t lose all the gains you’ve made over the past year.  Consider some cross training or focusing on strength training for a few weeks before resuming your regular training schedule.
