Team of octogenarians oldest to relay across the Catalina Channel 

Most of these guys are USMS members. 
One (I don&amp;#39;t know which one) was the alternate; it was a six-man team that set the record.

I guess he&amp;#39;s recovered from Catalina!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Octogenarians become oldest team to cross Catalina Channel</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/196357?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2015 03:05:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:198605d2-f7b8-4483-bc4f-27b4ee2d074c</guid><dc:creator>imbacktoit</dc:creator><description>so proud to be a teammate of Dave&amp;#39;s!

I don&amp;#39;t want to bother to look it up, but there was a snarky post on this forum about how old folks take too long in distance events. Looks like these guys didn&amp;#39;t take too long.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
