It was two years ago that three naive 48 year olds thought they would go to the Worlds at Stanford and kick some butt. Well, maybe not kick some butt, but at least get some hardware.
Their experiences were all different. One missed a medal numerous times by just tenths, the second was aced out of a relay medal by hundredths, and the third threw out his back and wondered why he even signed up. Needless to say, the three returned home with there tails between their legs. A fire was lit though, and the three have trained diligently for the past two years to seek revenge on this dreaded Worlds. Yes, a little older and a tad wiser, but none the less very determined. You might ask why they are putting all this effort into a stupid medal, and the answer would be.....they have no lives. Yes, 3000 dollars is a bit much for a medal, but at the age of 50 we all claim senility. Wish us luck as we pursue our dream and try to keep family and friends updated throughout our journey.
