5th Annual WASECA TRIATHLONS - Cathy Yndestad became the first woman in the five-year history of the Waseca 1/3 (1 mile - 34 miles - 8.8 miles) to break the three hour mark. Nicole Heininger (3:02:25 in 2013) and Diane Hankee (3:04:29 in 2012) came kinda close in the past, but CY dipped under the magic mark with almost four minutes to spare. Her time was 2:56:16, placing her 4th overall and only 4:38 behind men's winner, Travis Miller of Nisswa.
The win was the 69th of Cathy's stellar multisport career, which includes four US Athlete of the Year nominations (she won the award in 2009), two AG nationals titles and podium finishes and nine MMAs.
Filling out the women's Top 3 in the 1/3 were Sarah Berger (3:20:06) and Hilary Patzer (3:20:40).
Travis Miller finished 1:40 in front of runner-up Ryan Deyounge and 3 :38 ahead of Luke Nelson....

IRONMAN LAKE PLACID - MTN congratulates the man who is arguably our state's "ironest" amateur Ironman, Dan Arlandson. (He's won four 140.6 races in his career.)
At Lake Placid last weekend he placed 4th overall among amateurs and earned his 5th career Kona slot. Posted times are untrustworthy do to the cancellation of one of the swim loops that affected most AGers, but not Dan. His posted time is 8:52:58, but his actual time is 9:25:14.

CHISAGO LAKES SPRINT - In her blog Heather Lendway stated that her course record performance at Life Time Tri - Minneapolis was her best Olympic-distance effort ever.
What was her best sprint race ever?
It HAD to have been her dominating performance at Chisago Sprint on Sunday. There she led out of the water and was second into T2 behind pro male Dan Hedgecock, who would go on to record his 27th career win. And though Hedgecock broke Devon Palmer's men's course record, he could only managed to finish 3:25 ahead of Lendway, who was never overtaken by male triathletes during the final phase, a 5K run....
