I found out last week that I was not selected to attend OCC Class 190 this October. I was very disappointed and felt deflated when I received the call from my OSO. Thankfully I can apply over and over again until accepted. I am now shooting for OCC Class 191, which starts in January 2006.

Beaver Lake Triathlon
Back in the end of July Beaver Lake had a triathlon. You could enter with two other people as a team, one person completing each event, or as an individual and complete the triathlon yourself. The three stages of the event were swim (325 yards), canoe (1 mile), and run (1.35 miles). Having never been a competitive swimmer or canoer (does that word exist?) I planned on entering as a team with two friends, Allison and Drew.
On the morning of the triathlon at 8:30 I got a call from Allison telling me Drew called and can’t make it. So I did what any logical person would do and did the triathlon myself. I came in fifth place overall. The swim was by far the hardest stage of the event. I have to practice for next year.
