Whether you’ll be competing, volunteering or spectating, there's no doubt that next May’s Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas is “the” big deal.
Just over 200 triathletes from our coverage area – including 123 currently from The Woodlands - and over 800 from the Upper Gulf Coast, according to Runner Triathlete News, will be putting their toes in Lake Woodlands on Saturday, May 21.
And Woodlands MultiSport will be preparing for the big day as well!
Two triathletes in our community will be experiencing their own “big deal” in just over a week.
As many of you know, our friends Amy Barr and John Laskowski, both of The Woodlands, won lottery spots to compete in October’s Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
Amy makes a return visit to the Island as her husband, Kevin, who recently finished Ironman Lake Placid in July, won a lottery spot and competed in Hawaii last year.
Kona will be her debut Ironman while John, who finished Ironman Florida in 2008 in just over 12 hours, is undoubtedly in the best shape of his life and is primed for an impressive performance.
Amy completed two half Ironmans this spring and summer – Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas and Ironman 70.3 Buffalo Springs Lake – while John travelled to the smallest state in the Union for the Amica Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island in July to firm up his Kona entry.
They will help kick-off a new feature tomorrow, Wednesday, September 29, here on the Woodlands MultiSport blog called “May Magic on Market Street”.
We will attempt to profile all of the triathletes in the Woodlands MultiSport coverage area (Montgomery County and Spring) – not just the Timothy Monks and the Kim Hagers, but also all of the first-timers – that will be competing in the inaugural Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas.
