IRONMAN FLORIDA - At least 35 Minnesotans crossed the finish line at Ironman Florida last Saturday, and on behalf of our state's entire multisport community, MTN sends out full-throated congratulations and exuberant hugs and handshakes and high-fives and knuckle-bumps to these amazing people.

I did my normal 20/30/20 on Thursday and Friday pre-race. Also downed tons of minerals and water to super hydrate myself which I managed to do successfully as I weighed in race morning I was an extra 3.0 lbs from what I had weighed a couple days before....

Minnesotans Invade the Sunshine State...

flAt least 35 Minnesotans are registered for this weekend's Ironman Florida. Instead of simply wishing the entire group well, or listing names, we decided to tell you some cool stuff about most (30) of those participants, i.e. the ones who have Facebook pages. We'll deal with half of these folks today, and the rest on Thursday.zoot
