I wanted to share this great USA today article about a friend Alex Meyer.  Alex is a member of the 2012 USA open water Olympic team after finishing 4th at the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai.  Alex and I both looked up to Fran Crippen as a role model and friend.  Check out this article about Alex’s journey to the games next year and how Fran has inspired him.

Thanks.
