For anyone who is running behind and has some travel $$ saved, you can accomplish all of Stage 1 at this meet - &lt;a href="https://www.clubassistant.com/club/meet_information.cfm?c=1461&amp;amp;smid=9889"&gt;www.clubassistant.com/.../meet_information.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: GOT MOTIVATION?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/259688?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jan 2018 10:27:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f960ebe7-213f-4425-8eff-7dff413c1711</guid><dc:creator>SwimDogs</dc:creator><description>And some VERY FAST TIMES, Jeff!

I registered today and combined that with registering for my first pool meet at the end of January where I&amp;#39;ll knock out three 50s for Stage 1 and the 500 as part of the Distance Free Triathlon.

Last year, I added an AGE GRADING factor to the mix, so we&amp;#39;re able to compare age group to age group.

WE NEED MORE YOUNGER SWIMMERS and would welcome your participation!
