Our friend and lane mate SB is in Lake Placid this weekend doing a little race called an Ironman. We are all very excited for him and expect great things, especially with his swim. Several of us did the over/under this morning and while it would be great to see SB break an hour, with one massive swim wave and a very narrow course (read: it's a line at the bottom of the lake) we settled on 1:05. We also should factor in that he does not have his wubbie with him. His little blue friend has seen Steve through a lot of good times and bad, through 50 x 100 on his 50th, and through a number of IM sets where he had no business using a bouy. Nonetheless, We created an honorary wubbie for him with lots of positive energy and good thoughts for a great race!

I want to make a special shout-out to Mrs. Edwina O'Toole, a follower from the great state of Virginia. I am happy to report that her daughter attended swim practice today.
I wish you could report that for today, but alas I needed to sleep...
ReplyDeleteHi, Katie O -
ReplyDeleteThanks for my special shout-out. No one ever did that for me before. I am thrilled.
I usually only get attention for being on the shark watch - which brings me to calling your attention to this -

In all my wariness on behalf of my tri daughters and their beloved tri friends, I do realize that you are probably safe in Lane 3, except from the locker police.
Your ever-watchful landlubber (not really - I do slow, easy laps) -
