2011 – Lisa and Dean Houston and their kids, Andy (age 12) and Hailey (10), for a true Lost Loon team effort. The entire Houston family participated in this Loon, the second year they raced. But Team Houston was particularly rewarded for a concerted family effort on behalf of Hailey. She had asked for a new triathlon bicycle for her birthday in May. Her parents diligently searched for the bike but every time they found a bike that would fit their daughter, it was found to have been sold before they could get to it. Finally—in the truest Lost Loon spirit--one week before the Lost Loon tri, Dean located a suitable bicycle in Atlanta.  The whole family loaded up and headed to Georgia to pick up the bike some three months past Hailey’s birthday. And true to form, young Hailey completed the full distances— bike, canoe and trail run--for the first time at the race. Congrats to Team Houston!
