Hope all is going well. Everything OK here. Checked with Pauline today and she has heard from Sarah in London who was not involved in underground disaster. Tony got final judgement on all matters on Tuesday. Financial arrangements exactly what he asked for - Custody and access very close to what he hoped for. Overall he is pleased with result.

We will be thinking of you every day. Love

Jeanie and Denis

Hi all! :d
I did a search for 5by5canada and this is what I found (NZZ Online);
72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:2qrnkWT-OXYJ:www.nzzamsonntag.ch/2005/07/06/sp/articleCYGFA.html+5by5canada&hl=en

It’s in German and I can’t translate it, but I can see your names there: David, Susan, Suzanne, Jeremy, Ben, Joanne... I think this is the interview you were telling me about?

"Crazy canucks" - did I read that right? :d

That’s awesome! If I have an English version, I’ll post it up on the website!
Sleep well, play hard, and relax after! Only one more day!!! ;)

Good luck and go hard. Even with the rain in switerland anything would be better than being here in Calgary and being eaten by mosquitos. Ouch! Yikes! Hugs X 10

Hi to everyone from the 5by5 team.
We are well and in good spirits. (The Swiss make great white wines). Training and site survey has gone well but the weather is cool and wet. Looking for better weekend conditions for the race. Thanks for all the guestbook messages. They mean much to us. We should have some more pix on the site tonight. Stay tuned. Bye for now.

I enjoyed meeting you all at Hefti Sport. Because of a delayed departure in Zurich I did not have a chance to view your homepage until today. Good luck with your adventure, I login regularly to follow your progress. Cheers.

Hi Joanne,

We are looking forward to hear from you. Have you been practicing swimming in a lake. Uncle John is not going to make it. He had a cardiac arrest and it took 13 minutes to resuscitate. He he is in a comatose state. On Tuesday they will decide if they will disconnect.

Dad and I hope you are enjoying your holiday with your friends. We are looking forward to reading something about you. Good luck and we love you.

Luv u, MOM

David, I’m not sure what you did to my foot the other day but it feels 95% better...I feel I could almost run a couple of hundred k...almost... ;)

Have a great trip and enjoy your holiday. Good luck on your big adventure. (The Swiss must be jubilant that their favourite tennis star has won Wimbledon for the third time...Susan, did you have a chance to watch the finals?) Cheerio for now...and happy trails you and your team!

All that training! All that work! All that dedication!
This race and beautiful trip will prove it was worth it. You can’t buy an experience like this. You have to EARN it and you have. It is so inspirational to see a family participate so happily in such a thrilling event. We are all rooting for you, and wish you every success.

Getting truly exited now! Tying up loose ends in Calgary and preparing for the trip to Europe. Can’t wait to be all together as a team. Hey guys, stay motivated, taper your training so we peak at the right time. In the hole, five by five.
