Our last club meeting was Wednesday October 15. This meeting was designed for our new members and about 60 new members attended to hear about the great activities offered by the club and to learn about future events. We continue to look for volunteer to join the board.
At the races update- We had our club Triathlon on November 2. Full results to follow. The wet weather led to some bike crashes and we hope our injured teamates are getting better. As we head to the rainy season remember how slick the roads can be. Caroline Glynn organized our first kids triathlon and this was a wonderful event.

On August 3 we had a special CAF swim clinic organized by our member Coryn Reich. We had a strong turn out of club members to assist the challenged athletes with a swim at Corona Del Mar. Sarah Reinersten gave a great description of the special considerations for challeged athletes in open water swimming. The club's own Andy Baily made his first open water swim since his accident and loss of his right foot, and several other challenged athletes got a chance to take the plunge.

In conjunction with the CAF Swim Clinic, we had 3rd Annual Predict Your Time Swim Race! We had a tie for first place with an actual time just 2 seconds just two time off the prediction for Eric Chebbi and Coryn Reich. John Steed was 8 seconds off his predicted time and Ikuko Kay Cianci was 10 seconds off her predicted time. Chris "the fish" Davis had the fastest time of the day for the .62 mile was 13:55, Stan Gertler was second at 15:54, and Eric Chebbi and Jason Badgley at 15:58.
