Results are in for the Tri for Fun triathlon held at the Conroe YMCA on March 30, 2014. Finish Strong athletes who competed (and did very well) were Kent Morris (2nd overall), Kathy Morris (3rd in her AG), Claudia McMeeken (3rd master's), and Pam Meaux (first tri and 2nd master's finisher.)
The race was a 300 yard swim, 16.5 bike and 5K run distance event. I'm not sure which results to post because the tri had timing issues with the swim mat
at the beginning of the race. They had their timer work the numbers for both a
Triathlon and a Duathlon.
The duathlon race results are posted at:

triathlon results are posted at:
Pam's swim 9 min; 1:06 bike, and 23 min run for an overall time of 1:43. Pam reports, "
It was fun and a great learning experience for
me. Glad I had a chance to practice. The
swim ended up being the best part because it was in a warm pool and the
shortest piece and I did OK. I had not been on a bike on a road in 10
years (spin class only) so I had no clue what I was doing and couldn’t figure
out how to work the gears so it took me 1:06 to do 16.5 miles, but I did enjoy
riding the bike. Beautiful day! The run was a trail run filled with
mud, roots, ruts, grass and little hills – I am not a trail runner so it was
the longest 5k of my life!" Way to go!
