Here is a long overdue (and long update) for our August FAST races. I'm
sorry I have missed a few weeks. As everyone is winding training down for
the summer or starting to taper for that big race, I am ramping up my
training and time is getting away from me. Whose idea was it to do a
November race anyway? Oh, I think that was my idea.

I will surely miss more people with so much to catch up on. As always, I
apologize. If you aren't on the race list or don't send me an e-mail post
race then I may miss you as it will be difficult to look up race results for
so many races (but I'll try!) Thanks to the FAST members who have sent me
updates of FAST members they have spotted at the races.
