-- we
will be renewing MSO memberships in November (cost $25 $20 for MSO +
$5 club

Technosport Sprint 1
The first Masters meet of the season was held at U of Ottawa on Sat
Oct
19th. Six Carleton Masters took part. John B swam all 8
events,
and did a very quick 25fs! Bernie set a best time and club record
in 50bk
(42.4). Cheri swam all 5 of her events significantly faster than
in Time
Trials in workout. George was near his best times for his
75-79 age
group in his events (and a year or two makes a big difference when
you're
"mature" like him) :-) ! Gerry did his best time in 100IM, and was
close
in 25fs and 50fs. Janine did an awesome 50fly, going nearly 7 sec
faster
than my prediction (finishing in 35.9)!!
