Relays

Congratulations to Lori and Team Switchblade.  They came in 1st place at the Woodridge Mini Sprint Triathlon with Lori destroying the other swimmers by 0:15 seconds.

Want to brag a little?  We'd love to hear about it - send your story and pictures to lyonsmasters@gmail.com. 

Stay active!

Alcatraz Swim

On Saturday, while we were "pretending" to be swimming in open water, Jay was in CA swimming the Alcatraz swim.  He finished 1.5 miles in 35 minutes and placed 74th in the male wetsuit division.  There were 900 swimmers total that participated in the event.  It sounds like the currents probably put the swim at about 2 miles when it was all said and done.

Pretty impressive Jay!  Nice Job!

More Race Results!

I received some more news on another great triathlon performance! 

Lori participated in the Batavia Triathlon in a relay, filling in for thier swimmer who could not participate.  I have yet to have these results verified, but the rumor is that they got second place overall!  Nice job Lori!

Note to everyone:

If you compete in an event of any kind, please send me results so we can brag about how great we are!!

Go Lyons Masters, In and Out of the water!!!

Team Update

Jason is currently at USMS Nationals in Mesa, AZ.  He completed his first day of competition yesterday and did great.  He is swimming 2 events a day for 3 days.  On Day 1 he swam the 50 fly and the 200 back.  He got a best time in his 50 fly (26.8) which is GREAT!  His 200 back went well (2:19) but as he told me after the race, "as for the 200 back, It's dead to me!"  I think he is done swimming that event!  I'll keep you posted as I hear more, but it sounds like an incredible facility they are swimming at.



While Jason is having a great time in Mesa, AZ some other exciting things are happening right here in our own pool! This morning, Marlene for the first time ever in practice, swam 2000 yards! She finished swimming today about 125 yards short of that and her lane mate, Dan got her back in the water to complete 2000 yards.

This is a great example of how we can all help each other achieve great things when we work together.   It's SO GREAT to be part of a team!

Nice job guys!

See you in the pool,
Coach Steve
