199. Kudos to Master

Way to go Master. I thought I was the swimmer in the family -- bet he couldn't swim with a stick in his mouth or follow ducks around the lake. Master won the Most December Swimming Mileage for a male in the USA Triathlon National Challenge Competition logging 118 miles. Now we have to look at a Certificate on the wall. The prize, whatever it is, is in the mail -- he is also supposed to get a wetsuit from the local Tri ATX club. I hope the national one is a gift card for hair transplants because he lost about 50% on top due to the extended hours in the chlorine. Regardless, his shoulder pain has disappeared after 6 years of misery. But, ha-ha, he got beat out by a girl who logged in over 50 miles the last day (sandbagger) to finish with 136 miles. Congrats to Kimberly; we'll be back next year to challenge you again -- he and his trusty trainer, me. And, beware -- this will be his last chnace before Medicare.
