Here's to making lemonade out of lemons...
1) Last week Sally raced Donner Lake Aquabike since her knee has been bugging her running.
2) Mallory, Melissa, Jessica and Audrey headed to June Lake for the Monday swim when the pool had to close.
See y'all tomorrow at the pool for our swim training workout!

Rita was a driving force in the creation of the Tri Club. She organized a Whitmore Pool Kids Triathlon and helped develop the June Lake Triathlon. As an ironman athlete she inspired.
Her kindness and generosity touched us all 💜

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our dear friend and colleague, Rita Klabacha, passed away last weekend.

Rita was deeply loved throughout the Eastern Sierra and at Mammoth Hospital. Many of you first knew her as a Physical Therapy Aide who helped launch our Human Performance Lab. Rita later left Mammoth Hospital to pursue her dream of becoming a Physician Assistant, only to return to us as a beloved Family Medicine PA. To be closer to home, she moved her practice to Northern Inyo Hospital. She later returned to Mammoth to take on a new challenge as an Orthopedic PA.

Over the years, she touched the lives of so many across various departments and communities. She was truly loved and will be deeply missed.

In times like these, it's important to slow down, care for one another and yourself, and allow space for your own human response. Rita was known for her kindness, compassion, and patience. We can honor her by embodying these qualities for every person in our community. She will be forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing or working with her.
