TRI NIGHT 2015 - Mark you calendar. Tri Night '15, featuring great food, drink, conversation and the presentation of the EMMAs (Minnesota Multisport Awards), will take place at Gear West Bike & Triathlon in Long Lake on Saturday, November 14. Ticket info will be available soon on the  Gear West B&T website, and on MTN, too. For the fourth straight year, the festivities will include "MMA Bingo." For a $1 contribution, attendees can guess the award winners. The one who has the most correct guesses will take home a wad of sweaty cash. It's a HOOT!

VOTE FOR RACE OF THE YEAR - Voting for "Triathletes Choice Race of the Year" will get underway here on MTN later this week. Make sure you vote for your favorite Minnesota tri or du experience of this season, okay? The winner will be announced at the Tri Night festivities and will receive a custom "Race of the Year" banner. Race Directors, please encourage your racers to vote. And please athletes, if you are racing in next weekend's Fall Classic Du or One Last Tri, wait until after the event to vote. Who knows? one of those races could be your choice for race of the Year.

IMOO PREDICTIONS - MTN predicts that at least two Minnesota men and two Minnesota women will crack the overall Top 10 in their gender in today's Ironman Wisconsin. Heck, with Sean, Suzie, Nick, Mike, Heiney et al in the field, we could see more than just two of our state's finest long coursers in the men's and women's Top 10. It's gonna be epic! If you're not there right now and watching the action, make sure you follow your friends online. (Ironman.com).
