PNW Tri Novices

Salsa, YES it's ok. That is my uneducated feeling. I think it's ok to do whatever you have to do to finish. This coming from the person who did rest on buoys last year...but managed to swim the whole thing on my tri this past June

And Dex, it would be great if you could come.

Salsa - yes, it's fine you can do what ever stroke you want. In fact I have friends that will do a whole swim (sprint length) doing breast stroke.

FYI - I won't be on TE much over the next week. I've got guests at the house and then I'll be crewing for RAO on the weekend. I'm going to PM out some directions, hopefully before this weekend coming up, but if you don't get them, have no fear, I'll get them to you before next week.

I'm a very infrequent poster/lurker, but just wanted to say "thanks" for being part of "Athletes for a Cure"- my 43-yr old husband was diagnosed w/ prostate cancer in February (no family history or risk factors- he's an athlete himself!) and underwent surgery to remove the prostate last month. I'm happy to report that he's doing great! I raised money for AFAC by racing in IMAZ this past April- I think it's an awesome organization. Do you know someone that had/has PC?

Interestingly enough.... I have only one rather far removed blood relative that has had prostate cancer and my FIL. But my family is riddled with lots of different types of cancer. Who I do know is the brain(s) behind Athletes for a Cure and they brought me into the fold. Since becoming involved with AFAC, I've learned a lot about prostate cancer and the organization and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather support at the moment. Thanks for the kind words.\ and thanks for helping AFAC.
