Bar Raisers - Last week we profiled Curt Wood, a great athlete who left Minnesota's tri scene in 2009. We wanted to introduce him and his stellar accomplishments to that large group of tri-and-du-athletes who have since (after 2009) become members of our multisport community. We wanted these new folks to know that their predecessors were totally cool people, in addition to being awesome athletes.
Today we're gonna tell you some stuff about a Canadian transplant named Jeremy Sartain. Like Curt Wood, Jeremy has not been a visible force on the regional racing scene since 2009, which was a recovery year for him. For those that don't know, Jeremy's athletic career, indeed his life, was almost ended by a devastating motorcylce accident in 2008. Before then he was, purely and simply, ....

Race Stuff - Minnesota women rocked socks last weekend. 2012 Minnesota Triathlete and Duathlete of the Year, Ruth Brennan Morrey, raced in her first pro contest yesterday, the British Elite National Duathlon Championships. Ruther is currently living in England, you know.T'was her first pro race and she finished a stellar 3rd overall. The winner was Vanessa Raw (photo below R), a total hottie from Loughborough (she is a model, we think?), which, fortuitously enough, is in England, and has a long history of ITU success in Europe. Runner-up was 2012 British Olympic triathlete Lucy Hall, who rides a black Felt bike and enjoys bangers and mash, which is an English deal.
That Ruthie-BM rocked with the aforementioned girls demonstrates that she is arguably America's premier female pro duathlete. Remember, duathlon is taken seriously in the UK and throughout Europe and their athletes have dominated ours for the last decade....

A Day of Quick and Healthy Meals...

Wondering what you will eat tomorrow? Here it is...
Every so often I like to feature recipes I have come across that are quick, easy, and inexpensive. With a 4-month-old at home and an endless to-do list at work, I certainly don't have time to waste. While many of us value well-rounded entrees, time is often the limiting factor. So here are three of my favorites. I make these in my very own kitchen on a regular basis because they are just so delicious that you would never know they could also be good for you....

Fueled by Determination
By Amy Collett (for usatriathlon.org)
I came across this story the other day while looking for something totally unrelated. My mother in-law wrote it just months before passing away in September 2004. It is a story about her son and the accident he had when driving home from Furman University in 1990.
A young man headed home from college one Saturday afternoon when the driver side of his jeep was struck by a pickup driven by an elderly man who had run a stop sign. It killed the elderly man instantly. The jeep was shoved several feet off the highway into the yard of a home. It then flipped over and caught on fire. The young man was unconscious and seat belted with his feet surrounded by and in a blaze of fire. Mr. Bob Broadrick, from LaFayette, Ga., was traveling by just after the accident occurred. Mr. Broadrick did not think of himself. He stopped,...
