I won the Intermediate Championship one year - I still have that tacky old trophy bashing around here somewhere. I went to dance camp for 3 weeks before Grandfather - so I didn't have a chance to get out of shape.
It creeps up on me quicker every year though . . . now it seems like I only have to miss one morning jog to feel like the Mother of All Bears is hitching a ride . . . :-(
My Daddy had been several times in the 70's but he really was frustrated this time because the traffic was horrible. He said that would be our last time.
