Terry Allen heading to France along with Mrs. SF Congrats to both

[SFspidur]

After three years in Germany, TA is headed to the top French league. Coincidentally, my wife landed just a few miles from Le Portel when she swam the English Channel last week.

Terry's first TBT game with Team Challenge ALS is at 5pm today.

congrats to your wife. that's impressive.

 

[spider23]

Wow, that is impressive, just googled that swim and that is a crazy accomplishment.

Hope Terry has a lot of success balling in France. Still remember when he committed to the Spiders, really liked his game.

 

[spider fan]

Wow - Sf - that is super awesome - way to go wife!

This part shows great perserverance and determination:

She suffered four or five jellyfish stings, one to the face and shoulder that was painful enough to leave a mark. But she passed the arduous hours singing to herself, often “You’re the Best” of “Karate Kid” fame.

 

[SFspidur]

LOL, well that didn't take long to track her down...I should have figured.

And yes, she's super awesome. Fortunately, the jellies in the Channel aren't as bad as some of the species found elsewhere. Not pleasant, of course, but not debilitating either.

Does your wife have eligibility left? If so, one Will Gipe, might be wanting to speak with her.

She only swam three years at W&L, but pretty sure the clock has run out at this point.

How did she feel after swimming across the English Channel? I say that clock is still ticking.

SF, why didn't you do this as a couple to make history?

She felt great. Maybe someone can wrangle an extra COVID year of eligibility for her.

Cold, distance, and open water...three things that have always been my swimming kryptonite. No thank you.

 

[AnnapSpider]

I’m in awe, and I don’t know her, and only you by your posts.
She must be something special!

 

[KE Spider]

Hey, given the content SF provides here , I'd say they are both special in their own way.

 

[urfan1]

SF please give Mrs. SF a huge Spidernation, we're proud of you!

 

[Spiders05]

Wow, Mrs. SF! HUGE.

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

What a great accomplishment. She did the hard work but I am sure having a supportive family behind her was a huge help.

So they both made it to France?

 

[SFspidur]

Well, Terry's still in Albuquerque...Pro A season doesn't start until September.

Played 23 minutes off the bench for ALS in yesterday's game, and while he didn't have a huge impact, they rolled to victory. Their regional semi is at 7 tonight.
