That's what I get for trying to do 5 things at once. I thought I had read you say you were 35 in another post, but obviously I was mistaken!

A fellow swimmer, huh? Nice. Where'd you swim?

I swam in Colorado. 1500 free, 200 and 400 IM, and 200 fly. Oh, and the relays. First competitive meet I was 5 years old. I was going to practice in my second year of college, and just all of a sudden couldn't stand the smell of cholorine any more. 17 years total.

I also occasionally swam 100 breaststroke, 100 back, things like that on a fill in basis.

Nice. I swam from '76-84, and my best strokes were fly and breast. I held a MS state record in 100 yd breast at 12, but lost at state and a year later got beat by a kid that never should have beaten me, so I lost interest and got serious about butterfly. My worst stroke as a kid was backstroke, which as a masters swimmer now is by far my best stroke. For some reason I've finally got it--last summer I finally broke a minute with a 59.3 at 100 yards backstroke at age 38. It's not much if I were college age, but it's nice against the other guys my age, I suppose. Our team record, unfortunately, is the Masters world record in meters and US record in yards, so I don't even have a shot at the TEAM record. But it's still fun to swim. I'm even thinking about attending the Worlds at Stanford this year since I have a qualifying time.

BTW, wasn't Amy Van Dyken from Colorado? Did you ever happen to run into her?

Yeah, she is from Englewood Colorado, which is near where my parents live now.

But, when I graduated high school, she was 11, and 13 when I quit swimming. I saw her at a few of the high school meets I went to after that, but never anything more than that.

My only claims to anyone famous are:

Competed with Lance Armstrong as an age group triathlete (Yes, he started in triathlons before cycling as a main emphasis). He generally kicked my butt.

Summer security guard for the Broncos training camp. I have photos with Rich Karlis, Vance Johnson (Absolute idiot), Karl Mecklenburg, John Elway and a few other minor Bronco players.

Did an 11 board break at a demonstration in front of Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. I still have the board he signed for me.

Currently doing agility training for an NFL signee for the Az Cardinals.

P.S. It just occurred to me, it's MIDNIGHT where you are! Go to bed!! I am, I have a golf tournament tomorrow and Sunday. (Yes, I really do compete in everything. )

Meeting Elway had to be a blast. Superfoot too. But I still don't get how you ended up a computer geek.

Got a commodore VIC-20 when I was in Junior high school. Taught myself basic, never looked back.

Trust me, I wish I hadn't goofed off so much in college and gotten the kines degree completed.

I've been a jock my whole life, but I also have competed in chess, bridge and scrabble, and program for a living. Oh, and perform in ren faires. I'm a living dichotomy
