Elmo,

The Elite Division was removed a few years ago to allow for easier
operations for organizers of the event. It also allowed for better continuity
for
the determining who is the best overall. One standard equals one winner, in
both genders, no questions.

Unfortunately the STREND Fitness Challenge is somewhat in a stagant stage and
has been for a few years. There have been a few die hard organizers that
have been trying to keep the Challenge going on in their areas. I congratulate
them.

I've been doing security contract work in Iraq since the Official closing of
the war in Iraq in 2003. I returned this June for three months, which I
called my "Summer Camp." I'll be returning again (next month) in late November
for another three months, which will be my "Winter Camp."

Hopefully things will change in the future where I can focus more on the
STREND Fitness Challenge.

Until then, Keep training and have a STREND day,

Ed Bugarin
Founder
