Most of the country is gearing up for some great summer weather, but in the South, we are getting ready to ease off on the runs and amp up the triathlons. But regardless of the time of year, the RunSmart Level One clinics are still being offered. May 1 was the second offering this year in Austin. Physical therapists can now get 3.5 hours of CCU for attending this program.
Josh Kennedy made yet another appearance at the Strolling Jim 40 Mile Run. His time of 6:40:33.2 placed him 37th overall. A good day, indeed!
May was also the inaugural Ironman Texas in the Woodlands, and Smart Sport athletes put in fine performances on a very hot day in east Texas. Dorian and Freddy Ramirez of Corpus Christi, Texas completed their third Ironman. Dorian's time was 14:46:48, and Freddy's time was 16:07:49. As many will tell you, a day at Ironman can present many different scenarios, and a finish is always an incredible result. Congratulations to Dorian and Freddy for surviving a hot day in Texas!
