ED. Many of you knew Twin Cities triathlete Terry Alexander. A great guy from a great family, and a very accomplished triathlete. Terry died recently from injuries sustained in a head-on collision in Long Lake. His dear friend, and ours, Jeremy Sartain is setting up a memorial fund. Here is his letter to you. We hope you can help.
Hi everyone,
A memorial fund for Terry has been set up to assist with funeral costs and any other items his family deem necessary. If Terry had 2 shirts he would give one away. It's time for us to give back a little to the family of a man who gave so much of himself....

Hyperventilation and I go way back. We met at the swim start of my first triathlon about three years ago.
He was an aggressive fellow, springing at me out of nowhere before I even had a chance to put my swim cap on. He made me feel, dare I say, smothered.
I broke up with him since then. We tried unsuccessfully to work out our differences but we just were not compatible. We wanted different things and we were heading in different directions. On occasion he shows up at my races, or even when I am trying to train, and begs me to get back together with him. I tell him I don't want him in my life anymore, that I've moved on, but he just laughs and says he'll be back soon. I should get a restraining order. A couple of days ago I looked out my living room window and saw Hyperventilation driving by my house. It's like he senses something; like he knows....
Got Elephant Skin?...

If you're like me, you care about your skin looking healthy and good. Frankly the state of skin health scares me when I go to a marathon or a triathlon, or spend time with folks who have been "outdoorsy" much of their lives.
It's like looking at a wrinkled elephant face.
Do people who exercise outdoors just not care about the way their skin is going look when they're 50, 60 or 70?
I personally don't plan on any modeling contracts with cologne manufacturers when I'm that age, but I would prefer that my face and skin not look as much like a dried, ugly prune as many of the faces I've seen at endurance races and outdoor sporting events....
