Bicycle Sprint Racing Hawaiian Style...

It's a Long Story...

Son Eric & daughter-in-law Susan  (with helmets on), entered their first official 

sprint bike race (10 miles) in Hawaii a few days ago.   

Eric’s average speed was 21 mph &  Susan averaged 19 mph.

  They competed in the 55-59 age group for this race.

Susan won her age group for this race and was 5th over all for all age groups, 

which included 20 women.   Friends, Kerry and Susan, (on right in photo) 

also participated in the race.  Friend Susan beat Susan Harvey by just 30 seconds.  

Way to go ladies.

Friends Kerry & Susan are competing in the ironman in Hawaii, later this year. 

Eric beat Kerry to the finish line in this sprint race  (Not bad for a couple of old men.) 

No the Harveys are not competing in the Ironman but they do compete

 in several shorter triathlons during the season.

FYI...  The Ironman is the leader in Endurance Sports with  

over 230 events across 53 countries…

 There is even one in Tempe AZ Nov 22, 2020.

Houston MD Anderson

As you know from prior posts we’ve been in Houston TX a lot lately.

Between Nov 6, 2019  and Jan 24 2020 we made 3 trips and spent 45 days in Houston.

It wasn’t all fun and frolic as we were mainly there for Don to get treatment for his 

Lung Cancer at MD Anderson, the #1 Cancer treatment Center in the world. 

It employee over 20,000 people, including 1600 faculty
and staff working in more than 25 buildings and is part
of the Texas Medical Center which contains 54 medicine-related
institutions with 21 hospitals and 8 speciality institutions, 4 medical
schools, 7 nursing schools, 3 public health organizations, 2
pharmacy schools and a dental school. 

It is peaceful & restful inside...

as well as outside!!!

Son Eric came from Hawaii on Jan 14 to help us out. 

 On Jan 15 Don had the upper right lobe of his lung removed, 

while Eric and I provided moral and physical support.  

Nine days later we received an excellent report from the Doc - Don’s cancer
had all been successfully  removed and there was no lymph node involvement!!! 
No Chemo treatment would be needed either, 
and he was cleared to head back to AZ on Jan 24th

Short walks and enjoying a few sunny days

provided increased lung capacity and overall strength
to head back to AZ  where Don continues to recover
at home and enjoys short  walks & visits with his friends.
