Welcome

In 2009 I discovered triathlon. Somewhere along the way, what started out as a personal challenge turned into a passion. This sport and the people I've met along the way have helped me in ways I never would have imagined. Physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In 2010 an effort was made to pass along those blessings. On the way to Ironman Florida, with your help, we raised over $10,000 for Wears Valley Ranch. This year, Tri4Him-Houston is putting together a collective effort to raise money for Emma's Hugs. By sharing "random acts of kindness" in the Texas Medical Center, Emma's Hugs is helping others in need and memorializing their child who lost her battler with Batten Disease just last year. To find out more or make a contribution just click on the link. With donations, please note "Tri4Him" in the comment section so we can track our progress and keep you posted.


This year's big race is the inaugural Ironman Texas, 5/21/2011, here in The Woodlands. It's my first race of 2011 and I'm excited for the chance to tackle an Ironman right here in our own back yard. I hope that 2011 will be an even bigger year as we continue to use this sport we love to serve something much bigger than us.

As usual, I'll be posting updates, training schedules, race reports, etc. I'd love for you to come along for the ride.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a restful holiday season and a wonderful Christmas. Now onto 2010. Still three months until our first race of the year, but it's time to get back to work. After a brief off-season of "limited" training, my work-outs will soon start to ramp up. Can't avoid the chilly swims, lung-burning runs, or face-numbing rides any longer. All we can do is be thankful that it's Houston and warmer days are near.

As we approach the start of the season there are two big ways that all of you can help. First, if you are able and feel called to contribute, just click away. It's very easy and any amount that you're able to give is greatly appreciated. Second, spread the word! Tell your friends and pass along a link to this page. For those of you who are savvy in the ways of facebook, myspace, twitter and the like, by all means, tweet away or link us to your page. The more folks we reach, the more good we can do.

In the coming weeks, check back as I'll soon start posting training schedules, related updates, and anything else that I think may entertain you. I'll do my best to send out an e-mail when I post something new or you can get automatic updates by clicking the "follow" button located below.
