2010 USMS LCM NATS San Juan, Puerto Rico

The people of Puerto Rico will see what a skinned Yetti looks like today when Wookiee emerges from the locker room sans his mangy man-mane.

We are having so much fun down here in Puerto Rico. Just the right amount of swimming with plenty of time for fun with friends and making new friends too. After some great GAJA swims some of us went out to dinner with a few other friends and had a great time. The young kids went out on the town leaving us older folk to mend the soreness that is starting to set in. I wish all of you could have come this is an awesome destination and a great meet. 2 more days of meet and then 2 days of site seeing.:bliss:

If I had the money, I would have done pretty good for a 65 yr old:cane: . It's nice to see my times are not in the sink bracket!:applaud:

I just love the videos, what a great idea. And they do such a nice job with them, IMO.

In the 800, at least, it appears that the fastest swimmers have mercifully aged up and out of my geriatric age group!
