Diamond In The Rough

This is our next team race so we want to get as many as possible signed up for it. The race is in Perryville on July 7th. There is an international distance and a sprint distance so something for everyone. So far we have 13 signed up. I'd like to see us hit 50 entries. We will be organizing another tailgating event. Click here to get registered.

 

Club Championships

We've fallen a good bit behind Team Bricks but there is stilll plenty of time to bridge the gap. What has me concerned is that Turks Head is only 2 points behind us. We've never been challenged for the second spot and looks like this team is making a run at us. We really need to step up our game and get signed up for more races. The next big one is Diamond In The Rough (see above). Remember we have no fees for team membership and we rely on club winnings to finance the team. Please make an effort to get signed up for Piranha races.

Milestones

Val Longhurst filed for re-election for Delaware state representative in the 15th district. Between Val and Michael we have a lot of representation in Delaware!

 

GPS Watch for Sale

I'm selling a Garmin 305 watch with HR monitor. Click here for details on it and what is included. It is 3 1/2  years old so I'm not sure what upgrades have been made to it since. Works perfectly well. I'm just buying something newer.  I'll take the best reasonable offer.  Coach
