Nils Frommhold is well known for his cycling prowess, but he is not just a one trick pony.
Running in Texas is a nice way to get ready for the heat in Kona.
The Woodlands were recommended to Nils by Andreas Raelert, and several other Germans train there.

German pro Julia Gajer and former pro Niclas Bock were also on deck in The Woodlands.
They mostly did 200s, 100s and 50s on that day, but it is always nice to have a cheat sheet.

Where to have lunch is always a tough decision, with so many folks to please.
Hubbell & Hudson won out, and the restaurant has an exceptional menu popular with lots of local athletes.
