sudofish Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 West Virginia. Though I did spend a lot of time at Ft. Huachuca in Arizona. Got to see a lot of the bottom half of the state from the mexican border up to just north of phoenix area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Very interesting @ArchwayAquatics! What sports were notable that year? I won't Google it, since it is fun to share local information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did live in Shoreline for about ten years, but that was pre-coop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first Olympics to use the gold/silver/bronze medal system. I think it ranked the longest 'summer' Olympics running from July to November, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look it up since all I could remember from childhood were stories of a guy taking a taxi for part of the race and some racers being chased by a pack of wild dogs (for real...). It was a little over 24 mile course, started at 3pm with a temp of 90 F. There were only two water stations for the entire length of the course. In addition to the heat it was dry, and much of the course was on dirt roads. Pace vehicles kicked up enough dust that some runners dropped out with breathing problems. The more I read about it and other events the more it sounds like it was an 'ish show of an Olympics 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Tennessee for me! I love it here. I’ve been here my entire life. I’m not far from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and I’ve grown up enjoying the waterways and mountains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshStover Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I’m a fellow Mountaineer as well. What part of the mountain state are you in? I’m in Fayetteville. Unlike someone above I absolutely love it here and can’t imagine living anywhere else. Anyone that complains about it here must not enjoy being outside and and admiring the most beautiful state in the nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
