Out at the building there are a few master's athletes who train....they usually come during the late afternoon, and are working on various fitness goals. It's been fun for the athletes to have these more mature men around...they are really good guys, and help keep things in perspective. One of these athletes, Jim Nylen, had all of the athletes over for a BBQ at his house this afternoon. It was a fun opportunity to relax at a beautiful home, swim, play games, and eat a fabulous meal. The athletes are mostly around each other while training or competing...so it's fun to be together just to relax and laugh. The above photo is of Rowan and Tye playing...it's a joy to watch Rowan having such a good time with our friends.
I posted a set of photos to Flickr...nothing too exciting, just a lot of faces that we see on a regular basis out here. Click here to see them. The above shot is of Brad Walker and Tommy Skipper. Brad is one of our roommates...he's one of the top-rated vaulters in the world (maybe even #1 right now? I'm sure my brother can fill us in) and is a stand-up guy. We've really enjoyed living with him.
This is Joe with Coach Dan Pfaff...the man, the legend...the reason most of us are here. Dan is an amazing coach, but more than that...he is a spiritual leader who has had life experiences that just bubble out of him in these nuggets of truth. Under Dan, Joe has grown a lot not only as an athlete, but also as a coach.
