Looking to start a female TRI Training Group in North Houston

Hi Lauri!  I would love to have someone to ride with.  My swim and run training has to fit around kids but I am wanting to get out on Sunday for a nice ride - an actual in the saddle ride as i am limited to the spinner for the week.  I'm technically in Cypress - but live 1/2 block from city limits.   What are your thoughts?

I am interested too. I am in The Woodlands area. I'm a total newbie, planning on doing the Stephanie Johnson Tri in Sept. and hopefully many more!

I've been searching for a group up here and haven't found one. 

I don't know what you ladies have in mind, but I would love someone(s) to do a OWS with. I haven't done one yet and don't plan on trying it by myself.

I'm really open to anything. The Woodlands has some great bike and running routes.

What areas and days/times is good for everyone?

Wednesday nights work for me too if you don't mind riding with a newbie. I don't want to hold anyone back.

Sundays also work for me right now. I'm training for the Houston 1/2 so my long runs are on Saturday, once they get too long, I may need that as a recovery day though.

That sounds great.

What time would you like to meet? 

FYI.....the water's not the greatest, but you can get in some open water swim practice at Lake Conroe. Lake Conroe Park off of 105 has two swim areas marked off by bouys. You can swim inside of these, or if you're a little more adventurous, swim from one to the other. The marked swim area isn't too far different from a race experience.....it gives you a bouy line to follow and the waves/chop/temperatures/turbidity that are so much different than the pool.

I think they charge $2 per person to get in, and it can be really crowded on weekend afternoons. They close around 7:00 during the week, and weekday afternoons / evenings are pretty empty.

That sounds good. I'll PM you my email and phone #. Hopefully the weather will clear up by then.

Anyone else interested in joining us? 

Thanks for the OWS location! I'll have to try it out.

Hey gals!  Ok, I dropped the ball...  Luckily Erin and Kelley picked it up! We met last night for a nice ride leaving from the YMCA through the Woodlands (Ashlane at Woodlands Parkway).  We are planning on meeting up again next Wednesday too.....  Just get intouch with any of us:  Erin, Kelly or myself if you would like to go!

Hope to see you there!
