Colonies Zone SCY Championships - Fairfax VA

I do think that human groups tend to form quickly and just as quickly demonize the other "bad people." I know I do! As primarily pool and OW swimmers, it's easy for us to feel that triathletes are the bad guys here. It's a different culture in many ways. Personally, I don't condone how they think it's acceptable to eat children just to improve their level of fitness, but who am I to judge? Just joking, of course. But that is why I recommended that someone tactful, like Jeff Roddin or Jeff Strahota, give somebody at Team Z a call and see if any of them might agree to share a lane. I don't know if this is even legal for liability reasons (what it there was a crash! what if a child fell into the pool and there was a feeding frenzy of triathletes, leading to one of them being injured? Could USMS be sued? Yikes!) Leslie and I, and undoubtedly Paul Smith, should not approach the Team Z leader with inquiries of reasonableness! I suspect we aren't "big" enough emotionally to overlook the pecadilloes of triathletes, including, but not limited to, their strange dietary habits.
