Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name:
Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Legacy IronStar Triathlon Performers

I was looking to see if any of the individuals who have completed the IronStar Triathlon (Half Ironman distance) in Conroe/Mongtomery each of the past four years were signed up for the Tri One O One event this November -- two or three weeks after this year's IronStar.

Only one -- Pascalus Striet of Houston -- of 15 had indeed done so.

The complete list of four-time IronStar Triathlon finishers are as follows:

Alfredo Locht
Bruce Cobb
Cory Lucas
David Talkington
James Brandenburg
Jennifer Browning*
Jerry Robinson
Neil MacKintosh
Pascalus Streit
Paul Capello
Sandy Parker*
Stuart Page
Thomas Heitzman
Thomas Wellbern (Willburn)
Tommy Elder

Not quite sure why I looked it up ... but nonetheless there you have it!

Sounds like Tri One O One will not be in The Woodlands this year. They are having to find a new venue.

In fact ... if you check the website right now, it says all events have been cancelled.

I had just sent an e-mail to Dana Lyons, the event RD, to talk about the upcoming event in my Conroe Courier column for Sunday.

Time to do a bit more research.

Thanks,

Jon
