Race Reports
I do a lot of triathlons, running races, and assorted swim/bike/run events. Here’s an easy way to find my race reports! (I’m still working on complete lists for pre-2008.) There are a handful of races that I never wrote about, but for the most part this is also an accurate reflection of events I’ve done over the years.
2013
Making a slow (um, REAL slow) but determined return to racing…
- Y Freedom Tri (6/30/13)
- Sylvan Beach Sprint Triathlon (6/9/13)
- TriGirl Super Sprint (5/12/13)
- Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon Relay (3/17/13)
- Aramco Houston Half Marathon – DNS due to lack of training and injury
2012
Found out at the beginning of December 2011 that I was pregnant and due in August! So racing in 2012 will be pretty sparse — if at all.
- Space City 10-Miler Relay (10/14/12)
- Yuri’s Night 5K (4/7/12) – Walked it since I was pregnant. Didn’t blog about it.
2011
Not a great year due to several unforeseen circumstances, but any year that involves races is still a good one!
- RunGirl Half Marathon – Relay (12/11/11) – Speed-walked my half of the race since I’d found out only a week before that I was pregnant!

2010
The first part of the year was average, but in September I started training with the goal of setting a new half marathon PR at the Houston Half Marathon in January 2011. It was the first time in a couple years that I’d seriously trained for anything. Little did I know I’d totally smash my old PR almost 2 months ahead of schedule!

2009
