Greetings Gil,

3 RSS EMPLOYEES COMPETE IN CAYMAN'S TRIATHLON |
 |
|
You'd think a triathlon on Grand Cayman would involve diving,
snorkeling and sailing a catamaran. Not! The annual Cayman Islands
Triathlon Association is an organized 1,500M (0.93 mile) swim,
followed by a 40K (24.8 miles) bike ride, then a 10K (6.2 miles)
sprint to the finish line. Oh, the agony of "the feet"! In the early
morning hours of November 23, three Red Sail Sports employees began
their journey across the island in this popular event. The race
results?
Paul Lusk (CFO & COO) time/2:39:52 ******************* Bill
Edwards (Cayman Controller) time/2:44:47 ************ Ivan Lee (Watersports
Supervisor) time/2:47:10 *********** Earlier in 2003, Ivan also
completed the Canadian Ironman.
Training for the 2004 triathlon has already begun and the stakes
have been raised for next year's race!
Think
you can beat Paul, Bill or Ivan? Sign up now for 2004! È

For the first time, Divers Alert Network (DAN) conducted its 49th
Diving & Hyperbaric Medicine Course in Hawaii. The six-day course
featured five mornings of diving the Kohala coast with Red Sail
Sports, some night dives, and instructional courses every afternoon.
"This was the first time DAN has conducted this course in Hawaii
and based on our wonderful experience, I am sure we will be
returning," said Cindi Easterling from DAN.
The course is designed primarily for physicians, emergency
medical personnel, parademics and nurses. Dive instructors and dive
masters also find the course to be invaluable. Associated with Duke
University Medical Center (DUMC), DAN is a 501(c) (3) non-profit
medical and research organization dedicated to the safety and health
of recreational scuba divers.
Divers Alert Network is supported by membership dues and

assistance, DAN educational publications, a subscription to "Alert
Diver" magazine, and access to diving's first and foremost accident
insurance coverage.
