Team K-Man News 7/16/10

SWIM - Mark G reports, "Penny L, Ellen R, Jen G, and Mark G had a great time at the Pacific Masters Swim Meet in Santa Cruz last weekend. The meet was a full three days and we stayed in the dorms at UC Santa Cruz which was a lot of fun. Our dorm mates were from Mount TAM Masters and included multiple world record holder Laura Val, and two swimmers that swam with Doc Counsilman in the 60's. In the evening we enjoyed kruising downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola.

Team Kman swimmers did very well and enjoyed Personal Best Times for all, or many, of their events. Ellen Rockholm took first in every event she entered and the meet was an excellent warm up for her World Championships in Sweden next month."

Mark G reports, "Here is a video clip of Lance Armstrong's crash in Stage 8. Lance clipped the ground with his pedal while rounding a roundabout and slide on his back about 40 feet. In the clip Lance is in the distance and the fall happens right at the beginning of the video."
