ED. We spoke with Kevin O'Connor of Gear West Bike & Triathlon on the phone on Monday. We discussed Dan Arlandson's record-setting performance at Vineman and how goshdarn cool the town of Waseca is. We asked Kevin to comment on his experience in that wonderful community last Sunday. He sent us these words:

Nice talking to you this morning. Quite impressive what Dan Arlandson did down at Vineman. It was 20 years ago I did Vineman as my first Irondistance race. It was just my second tri but I was only 20 yrs of age so I didn't know any better. There was no such thing as a tri shop and with no email or internet I didn't have anyone telling me I was stupid to do it....
