"It's really enjoyable to have another goal and I enjoy the training and discipline. My strengths are the swim and run. The bike has been my weakness but I'm really working on it. I have to get more comfortable with the clips and pedals."
The triathlon consisted of a 500 meter swim, 14 mile bike and a three mile run. This marked Huber's second triathlon, with the first being an event in Houston, Texas. Last week she came in sixth in her age group, and in 151st place overall. Huber will participate in her third triathlon in Kemah, Texas on April 10.
