ED. In case you haven't read Triathlete.com's coverage of Gwen Jorgensen's victory in New Zealand, here it is. It's good stuff.
The second round of the ITU World Cup circuit threw up another round of outstanding sprint racing which saw Richard Murray (RSA) repeat and Gwen Jorgensen (USA) continue her unbeaten run. Both have had confident starts to the 2016 season and Rio Olympic build up and today executed perfectly timed performances to claim wins at New Plymouth.

"Apple Duathlon" - Started during Woodrow Wilson's second term, The Apple, which is produced and executed by many of the people mentioned above, is simply, in our humble opinion, the best duathlon in America....

Over the last week or so, a whole bunch of our appliances have shown signs of age.
First, the handle on our microwave ripped off. Sheared the screws that held the handle in place right in half. We did a little investigative work and discovered the microwave was built (and installed above the stove) in 1997. More investigation revealed that they no longer make the model OR the replacement handle. Until we have the time to go shopping for a new one, we are left with plying open the door with a screwdriver in order to nuke our food....
