On a related issue ... Justin Ruiz, who is now our World Team Member, in the past would not compete on Sundays. Ruiz, who is a Mormon, felt it was against his religious beliefs. For the past few years, he has competed on Sundays.

As I grow older, most of my beliefs lie in the spiritual realm as opposed to the religious one. Personally, I don't feel that whether I shave, compete on Sundays, or have a wife that shows her face in public; will impact those beliefs or anger my spiritual "God."

I'm just glad to live in a country where it is acceptable to have a contrary view!!
