I haven't thought this through so it is probably a hairbrained idea but...
Has anyone ever proposed a national Masters gathering that is not "championship oriented", e.g. where you aren't limited to three events if you can't make NQTs, perhaps with an associated open water event, and just more of an orientation toward gathering than high performance?
Lindsay,
What a great idea!!!
I propose the West Coast first, and alternating between East Coast and then the middle of the country. So every 3 years it would be near somebody.
WCM is no stranger to beer relays, naked relays, naked-chicken fights in oceans (either coast, we're not picky), and tacky triathlons. I'd love to help organize events, arrange a pool, set up beach BBQs (Pacifica is perfect, especially in Oct.) Our team is pretty big too, so we could probably arrange free accomodations in homes as well. I don't know if PMS would "sanction" such a thing, but as secretary, I can bring up the event at our conference call on April 18th.
I won't speak for Kerry, but I'll ask him. I know my teammates would be REALLY excited. We love a good party, especially if you don't have the pressure of swimming fast the next day.
Lindsay, do you want to start a list of organizers, proposed events and dates? Right on this thread would be good- or start a new one. Maybe even post a poll to see who would be interested. :banana: :drink:
Again. Tremendous idea. I love it!
