The Week That Was
I hope all of you had a blessed Christmas with family and friends focused on the birth of our savior. The week was on in which the work most of the athletes was ramped up a bit as they near the midway point of the season. I say most because we had a few guys battling upper respiratory problems. I want to encourage the guys to take care of themselves. I know some of these things are unavoidable to a certain degree, but as sleep, clothing (including coats and hats), and diet all play into helping their immune system fight off these illness.
We had a great time i our Annual New Years Relays today. It is always a great bonding time for the guys and a great time to laugh at our own expense. We also had the pleasure of having some HC Aquatics Alumni join us. Christian Staat (10), Andrew Kuper (11), Alex Baumann (11) and Evan Lonergan (11) took part in a couple relays showing the young whipper snappers a few impressive swims as well.
Two new records were set today, although I'm not sure I can call either of them an official record because of vague rules and guidelines (established by yours truly with a bit of deliberate ambiguity) about how the relays have operated or been scored in the past. You can see the relay results by clicking on the "Boys Top Ten" page in the list of pages to the right.
Hopefully we can get some video footage of the events so that you can laugh at our expense as well.
