Master  1557    Maine |  Subject: My two seconds of fame...The local paper printed a story on me this morning: http://kennebecjournal.mainetoday.com/sports/stories/5290161.html They messed up a few details, like the fact that I train each discipline 4 times a week (it says I train 4 times a week), but the story came out ok overall. During the interview I tried to play down the expense part, and told the reporter that you can spend thousands of dollars, but you can also get started in the sport relatively cheaply, but he left out that part. Gotta love the local paper - in the print version I'm on the top of the front page of the sports section, over the olympics and the Red Sox |

| Subject: RE: My two seconds of fame... Very cool - and at least they quoted you as saying that you train 18-20 hours a week, so that the 4-days a week mistake is less misleading. |
