Menlo Masters Dynamic Duo 2008 - Results

Intense and competitive.  Dive and churn.  Pull-out and push-off.   These sequences were repeated 40 times in a row per team this past Saturday morning at the ever-competitive and always underestimated Dynamic Duo. 

In the fast and frothy waters of the early morning event it is very difficult for the teams to gauge where their team is in the overall heat standings during the event.  This uncertainty combined with the desire to honor a teammates hard swimming with ones own hard swimming leads to personal peak efforts.  In other words, it is a tough event!

Thanks to all who competed and arrived early or stayed after to time and count so everybody could enjoy the event.
