Santa Cruz swim

Kristina and her family (4/5 at least~) had a round-the wharf swim in SC this last weekend.... have to keep it up, even in the winter!

Our YOUNGEST member

Welcome to the Polar Bear Club, Ellie! Ellie made her open water swimming debut in the VERY COLD Lake Tahoe this summer, and with no wetsuit either.... The water temp is around 59 Degrees! I think she's got a successful swimming career ahead of her.

A possible new recruit???

Kate Matthay made her polar bear debut! Here she is getting ready to jump into the Atlantic in Carnac. The water was a comfortable 68 degrees. Welcome to the club, KATE :)

our own HALF IRONWOMAN

Lisa Brown completed the Vineman 70.3 on July 19th, 2009! She swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles, and then ran 13.2 miles, all in 6 and 1/2 hours!!!!!!

Here is the Vineman website

pictures to follow, hopefully!

Michael has been swimming all over Europe, keeping in shape for the challenges of the SF Bay, of course....

Another one of our research coordinators, Erica, has caught the swimming bug! She has joined Team in Training to work towards the Pacific Grove Triathlon on September 12th.
