I had a plan. Then some tweaking took place. Some flip-flopping. A surprise race announcement. It isn’t exactly what I was planning two months ago, but the 2014 schedule is set.
A brief overview -

Oakdale Duathlon – Typical early season rust-buster, but probably wouldn’t be doing this race if I didn’t need to go Kansas the next week. My 7th time here makes this my most frequented race....

From the GWBT Editor– over the next few weeks we will be posting some thoughts from the boss (not Springsteen) who has put together a list of 26 influential people in his life. People that have helped mold, direct, and teach. Each day, starting November 30th, we will add one of the 26 individuals to the list…but don’t take my word for it:

Cranberry Upside-Down Cake
(eatwell.com)
This rustic cake is a delicious alternative to pie and uses one of the tastiest fruits of the fall harvest—cranberries. The basic recipe is very versatile and can be made with apples, pears, peaches, plums or any full-flavored, slightly acidic fruit.

INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided

Minnesota Multisport Awards - In it's 15-year history, the MMAs had never faced the issues that were faced in 2013.

Ruth ended up ranked #1 on Team Minnesota and Michelle won the Long Distance Performance of the Year award...
