Memorial Hermann Sugarland Tri

The Memorial Herman Sugarland Sprint Tri was held on Sunday, June 26. Five Team Finish Strong Racing athletes were on hand to compete in the 300 meter swim, 10 mile bike, 3 mile run sprint triathlon. The team collected one 2nd place, two third place, and one 4th place AG awards.

The Barron kids had their usual brilliant performances. Hannah Barron came in 2nd in her 10-14 AG with a time of 1:04:25 - a mere 4 seconds behind the 1st place finisher. Hannah had the fifth fastest swim 6:06, the fastest bike 30:42 (19.5 mph pace), and the third fastest run 25:50 (8:37 per mile pace).

Lane Barron, age 12, came in 3rd in his 10-14 AG with a time of 1:01:26. Lane's splits were 5:32 swim, 28:50 bike (20.8 mph pace), and 25:21 run (8:27 per mile pace).

Katherine Barron, age 16, also came in 3rd in her 15-19 AG with a time of 1:02:27. Katherine swam the course in 6:12, biked the course in 29:37 (20.3 mph), and ran 25:26 (8:29 per mile pace).

Inspired by his kids (and his wife, Carolyn, who recently completed her first Ironman), Randy Barron competed in his very competitive 40-44 AG. Randy clocked a 10:10 swim, 29:49 bike (20.1 mph pace), and 28:12 run (9:24 per mile pace) for an overall time of 1:11:27.

Jack Chapman enjoyed a 4th place finish in his 50-54 AG with a time of 58:16 just 1:41 behind the leader in his AG. Jack swam 5:46, biked 26:40 (22.4 mph), and had the second fastest run in his AG at 23:00 (7:40 per mile pace).

Congrats to all for a great race!
