Eagle eye Scott Alan Reitmeier


Memorable moment came when Sara, used to repeating the scoring statements being coached to her before each serve, echoed teammate Scott's exhortation to "Ace Mark!" Yeah, "Ace Mark" isn't actually the score... =)


Mark and Renee proved the winners of this initial event! Here they co-sport the red armband - the "yellow jersey" of the SSI 3.

Snapshots of the big day...

...accompanied by just a bit of commentary. (This will likely be posted in shifts...enjoy!)




Scotty - naturally - led the parade out the door for opening ceremonies.


Individually constructed flags were raised on high...




...and then placed in a circle of triumph. Each color correlated to the bandanna color of one of the seven mighty contestants:

Sara


Marisa


Drew


Mark


Renee


Mike


Scott
A formidable group, indeed...
