The 3000/6000 postal is now underway. We’ve already had 10 swimmers take on the challenge swim. Next oppportuniy will be Friday, Oct 19 at the Davis pool 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. and Saturday, Oct 20 at 6:00 a.m. I need to know if you are coming, so I can make sure to have enough timers there.

Best of luck to our State Senior Games swimmers next weekend, when they travel to Temple to compete to be the best that Texas has to offer.

For those swimmers looking for a local meet or somewhere you can post SCM times, the downtown nat. is offering up a 1 day meet, Nov 17.

Congratulations to Christiane Reetz for her 4th place age group finish at the Xtreme Triathlon National Championships. The water was a balmy 55 degrees. It took her “30 minutes” to thaw her hands out after the swim in order to take her wetsuit off in the transition area. Great job in very tough conditions!

Check out both Sean Lewis’ and Liesl Inglish’s performances in the World Championship Ironman Triathlon. They did great!

David Gude tells us that there are advantages in breaking your wrist just prior to the triathlon that you’ve been training for all season. For one, it keeps people away on the run, because of the smell coming off the cast is unbearable. Your wrist never gets tired holding the handle bars, because it’s rigid as all get out. It also becomes an air conditioner on the bike, since it’s soggy out of the water, as air passes thru it, it can cool your torso down. And of course, the number one reason to wear a cast while competing, you can use it as a club to clear people out of your way in the swim!

Great job to our hikers taking on the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim last weekend. Led by our fearless leader Buz Kroner….Chris Mayhew, Chuck Oswald and Lynn Francis, plus lots of friends/family all created great memories. Total time was between 10 and 12 hours. WOW!!! Great photos were taken by all. They will be sure to share those with you and tell their stories of a trip, and challenge, of a lifetime! [The webmaster hopes that they will add their photos to the MOST Flickr Group’s Photo Pool using these instructions.]

Safe journey to Patricia and Ronda as they take on Machu Picchu, Peru this weekend.
