Team Open Water Swim
Picnic - Lake Berryessa Swim Saturday June 6
A great time was had by all at the
Lake Berryessa open water swim! The community food table was
great and the water was perfect: smooth and cool.
Unofficially 39 Creek swimmers swam the 2 mile race,
and 32 swam the 1 mile race. Age group winners included B.J.
Henry, Suzanne Heim-Bowen, Donna Monroe, and Roque Santos. Ed Lane
claims he won at least one of his two races, but his ID anklet chip
reportedly failed and we may never be able to confirm that he was
even at the event.

Madness Participants Talk
About
Their Experience
The Board of Walnut
Creek Masters has decided to discontinue
Newsplash our periodic newsletter. The
plan is to funnel team communications to our website with
occasional email support. Two frequent features of the newsletter
are Kerry’s Coaches Corner column and the
“question man” series where a selected group of members
are queried about a common experience. We are beginning to move
these features to our website.
