It's never too late to sign up for the Postal Swimtathlon!
We have about 10 swimmers signed up with commitments from several others, and I just want everyone to know that it's NEVER too late to sign up. So far, we have swimmers from Montana, North Carolina, South Caroline, and Hawaii by way of Germany! How about that.
The short pentathlon (Stage One) is slotted into the first quarter, but you can always complete the events in that stage during Stage Four in the 4th Quarter. That way, you will be in the cumulative, 15 event, standings at the end of the year.
So, it's NEVER TOO LATE TO SIGN UP!
