I lived in front of the Sheridan swim club across the river from you by Quincy years ago so I trained there. It was funny I was going to build building in Quincy and before I looked for a place to live I looked for a place to swim. As I was becoming a member of the club I asked where I should look for a place to live and it turned out that the club owned the house right in front and it was vacant. It was dump but I ended up with a key to the club and could swim even when the place was closed. Where is your june 10th tri? Ron

Written on: 2006-05-26 14:21:42 Message: Hi everyone Yes I am swimming at YMCA in Hannibal on my days off from the fire dept. ,and found out city employees get a discount membership. I keep my trainer and tread mill at work and work out after 5pm with permission from the Chief of course. So things are working out. I broke my fibula last year and have 6 screws and a metal plate. Thats been giving me a little trouble with my running.Once that works out I think my times will get better right now my race pace is 9:20,slow. Aero bars are on my long wish list. I think aero bars change bike setup and rider position, so havent looked into fit help yet. Very comfortable now on my bike so waiting. Oh, the Tri on June 10th in Quincy.Never been to the swim club in Quincy but have heard of it. The Tri is held at Wavering-Mormon park and pool. Chris
