Weekly Updates
Senior Games Report: Shelly Whitlock won the pole vault! Georgia Goggin finished 10th in the long jump.
If you are planning on attending the SMU meet on July 21, can you give me a heads up that you’re going? Several people are either looking for rides or just want to know a few friendly faces when they get up there. Entries are due July 18th.
Nationals (at The Woodlands) has extended their entry due date through this Friday! Don’t miss out. The team is staying at the Woodlands Residence Inn One at 281-292-3252. Rooms are set aside for Masters of South Texas for only $99 per nite or $90 per nite for AAAA card holders. These are One Bedroom suites with full kitchens.
5 K swimmers are going this Friday and Saturday at the Blossom pool. Both swim days start at 8:00 a.m. We have plenty of lanes, so you can still get in on it. Please let me know that you are coming or bring your own timer. I will have the watches, clip boards and paperwork. HELP! I still need 2 more timers each day. Any volunteers from the team? How about some volunteer service hours for any high school kids? We will be done between 1:30-2:00 hours.
I will not be at the lake because of the 5 K swimmers, but please go ahead and hook up without me at 8:00 at the boat ramp.
Blossom is now avaliable to us at noon each day. Public swim has closed and lessons are over. I encourage anyone going off to Nationals, or training for open water, to join us any day. There will be days that we need to go back to the Davis pool, as construction continues in and around the Walker pool. Please be flexibale and look for us in either pool. You may only use the Davis pool locker rooms.
For those that will be going on our Grand Canyon trip the first weekend of Ocotober. You should be walking stadiums 2 x week for 30 minutes, plus adding in some other days of just general walks or runs. If any one is interested in joining us walk Rim to Rim that weekend, we have enough hotel rooms set aside, but I will need committed numbers by August 1. As of now, Buz (plus 5), Chris (plus 2), Susan (plus 1), Don, Lynn, Geoff, Israel, Tania (plus 1), Zetta and Shirley are all considering it. Let me know to put you on the tentative list to keep you updated on training news and trip information details.
