"When it's time to change..."

"...you've got to rearrange! Who you are and what you're gonna be! Sha na na na na na na na na. Sha na na na na!"

If you didn't watch the Brady Bunch with rapt attention growing up like I did, you might not know this song. But whether you do or don't, Wallace delivered a direct replication of Peter Brady's adolescent voice changing during this well-loved number, today while trying to gasp for air and also verbally review our times during a set of four 200 IM's. I hate IM. But I love Peter Brady, and I really enjoyed Wallace's performance this morning.

Sha na na!

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well.

That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something.
