Extreme Veteran 330   Austin Texas |  Subject: rain, please go away...I just came back from the Gulf, to which it rained 2 of the 3 days. However, that did not stop my daughter and I from swimming. Seven years old and she can already swim in the surf. Man, I wish I swam that well at that age (must be her coach, ha-ha). Anyway, Austin is still under water, the lakes are crazy high, the creeks are raging rivers and it is really starting to get depressing. I have to keep telling myself, "hey, at least my house has not flooded and my family is safe." With that, I hope none of my BT friends are going through any hard times because of the rains, and I wish everyone safe and enjoyable training/ racing. By the way, Lake Travis is 31 feet above normal!!!!!!!! and expected to rise another 1 to 2 feet today. |

But good gravy...this is a lot of stinking rain. I second that. I've been in droughts before, but our ground can NOT take anymore rain. The highland lake folks are having their houses destroyed. And what is the weather doing right this second? Raining, of course. |

Extreme Veteran 461 Cedar Park, Texas | Subject: RE: rain, please go away... We're cloudy but semi-dry for the moment in Cedar Park. I'm so sick of the rain! My kids and dogs are going nuts. The last forecast that I saw said another WEEK of this nonsense and then we'll get some clear skies. You watch, after this is over, we won't see rain again until September! And when was the last time you got to July without having to run your sprinklers? Sigh..... |

| Member 25 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: rain, please go away... How to avoid rain: Go caving! Just spent the morning underground and no rain down there. Well there were some puddles... If you ever want an upper body work out, get on your belly and go crawling. Definitely going in my training log. |
