Triathlon 101:

Take the guesswork out of triathlon training and racing. Triathlon 101 will give you the basics to get started. It will show you how to design your own training calendar, choose the proper equipment, fueling tips, swimming and open water tips, transition tips, and how to taper your training when needed. Save yourself from trial-and-error experiences that discourage many from the sport. Be a smart triathlete from the start. Take the best course available for developing multi-sport athletes. Triathlon 101.

Hiking 101:

There’s a lot more to hiking than just finding the trailhead or owning a pair of hiking boots. We will be going over what you need for your own hiking adventure and some of the many great trails in and around Houston and Texas. So, whether you are looking for an urban hike or a backcountry hike, it is important that you know where you are going, wear the correct clothing and shoes and have the right supplies for your journey. You will be on your way with valuable information from Bayou City Outdoors’ Kelly Howard, who has led hikes in Texas and around the country. 7:00 - 8:00PM; Free event! REI, 7538 Westheimer Rd. (Westheimer & Voss)

Backpacking 101:

Once you have mastered the basics of camping and hiking, the next step is backpacking! Imagine, after a day of hiking through forests, you get to relax in a remote campsite using only what you have brought in your backpack! Backpacking really is the ultimate way to get outside! Sound too difficult? It won't be once you learn the basics in Backpacking 101.

We will review trip-planning tips, gear lists, safety advice, and other essential wisdom every backpacker ought to know. There will also be backpacking fittings and demonstrations. And show and tell on how to properly pack your backpack.
