Conroe Triathletes is mostly age
groupers that train and race together. Other than swimming Masters with our Coach Kim Hanson at the Conroe Rec/Aquatic Center
we do not have any formal coaching. A couple of our members have been racing for 20+ years and most coaching comes from their
experience. In general we are a fun group than push and motivate each other every time any of us are together. We almost always
put a few people in the top 5 of their age group at any sprint race. Two of our members usually win their age groups out right
and the rest of us will pop up into the hardware every once in while. We have a wide
range of ages and speeds. Most of the group is over 40 but we have a few 30 year olds and even a couple of twenty-something’s.
We were mostly guys but we have quite a few girls that have joined us within the last year. When we bike
together we have people that ride 22mph+ all the way down to 15 mph. We make sure that nobody gets left on the side of road
regardless of how fast they ride. On Wednesdays we do a brick of 18-24 miles on the bike then a 1.5 – 2.5 mile
run. The bike route is an out and back so you can go longer or shorter than that if you like. The route starts near New Waverly
and run north along the I-45 access road towards Huntsville. The ride announcements will have directions. These Wednesday
rides will continue with daylight savings on March 17, 2010. We ride on Sunday mornings before church and then
some of us will run if time permits. We ride from New Waverly along the same route as the Wednesday night ride. In addition to
our coached Master swimming at the Rec Center, we also have an open water swim on Thursdays in Lake Conroe. As with the Wednesday
bike ride, the Thursday night swim will continue on March 18, 2010 with daylight savings If you want to just come out and ride with us some
time you are more than welcome. You can always send us an email for more information. Just let us know and we will get you a cell phone number for someone who we know will be riding,
that way if you get lost finding the start the first time or are running late you can call and we can direct you or wait until
you get there. Email us with any questions or to let us know when you would like to come out for a ride. You can always swim a Masters workout and meet at least a few of us on any given night |
