Plenty To Read This Week...

Beginning with the tragic... a triathlete met the ultimate predator north of San Diego this week. The shark won. Triathlete dies in shark attack.

Onto lighter triathlete stories, ex big leaguer Jeff Conine is taking to the art of swim, bike and running:
He wants to be an Ironman!

Congrats to Deena Kastor who won the US Marathon Olympic Trial last weekend. And how about Ryan Hall? He ran a 2:06:17 in London last week - third fastest time EVER by an American!

Switching to baseball, Doug Glanville writes in today's NY Times about the moments when a baseball player goes from prospect to veteran to washed up. I'm sure it seems like a blink of an eye: It Gets Late Early Out There

RSL fans will be interested to know that the Guatemalan national team defender was offered a contract as the international transfer window closed. The MLS team low-balled him, however, and he can make much more at home in Central America for now.

Do you realize RSL is 11-4-2 with 41 goals (27 against) in all-time HOME Reserve League games? I'm impressed. In case you missed it, read my story on the Regal Rapids Reserves - two-time defending champs! Thanks to John Murphy for a great interview.

Who else misses RSLFM.com?

More next week on the RSL Exiles. They were live at Midday in Paradise today. Great to see the band members again. Good times.
