Well, coach is looking for a place for us to do our Christmas training. He really wants us out of Utah, away from our pool, but he wants unlimited pool access...
The Olympic Training Center in Colorado, (the OTC), was what he was counting on. They just called him to tell him (not nicely) that our swim team wasn't good enough to train there.
So...
We are left hanging.
And he's made dozens upon dozens of calls. It's too late to go somewhere in Canada or Mexico, because he doesn't think he can get our passports done in time.
The only place left wide open with unlimited pool access is in North Dakota.
I thought that sounded pretty cool, until everyone groaned. I've never been there, but apparently, it's very very cold there. When everyone whined, coach said that once it's 50 below, it's just cold. No big deal. He's been in places negative 101. Of course everyone asks the stupid question "was it cold?" And he says (get ready for it):
"Let's just say...it's an interesting sensation having your nose hairs freeze."

When they freeze
And break off when you sneeze
They land 'pon the frozen ground
With a melodic tinkling sound
north dakota! I hope you guys go to north dakota for the simple fact that I don't believe it exists. in fact, I'm running my next marathon there next spring just to see if it's actually there (okay, for other reasons too) or just a government conspiracy. but man, it would be cold. have fun!
what a great adventure! Hope you take in every minute cause you may never go that way again. My brother Mike lived up there in Minot for many years
North Dakota. Home of the easiest bar exam in the nation. Yes, many a JAG law student grads took the test in ND because for JAG, you just have to pass somewhere.
Why does he want you guys out of Utah?
