An "Old" Friend is Found

I went to lower Manhattan thinking I wouldn't know anybody -- hence the large 3-person support group. So there I am, wandering around in my usual pre-race daze when I hear "Mike!" and there -- not ten feet away was Joan!

She was entered in the Freedom Tower Aquathlon. The same 1/2 mile swim in the Hudson but followed by a 3 mile run. Way to go Joan! And it is always great to bump into "old" friends. Joan sends her regards to all of you and was way to polite to ask why YOU weren't there.
