Ironman Wisconsin XI - Approximately 300 of our state's triathletes are enrolled in Sunday's Ironman Wisconsin. Perhaps ten times that many Minnesotans will also be on hand to spectate or volunteer. There will definitely be a special Loon State vibe in Cheesehead Land on Sunday.
That is so cool. Goosebumpley cool. Time to breathe into a paper bag, diaper-up and make some outrageous predictions.
Typically, we do a lot of name-dropping, but for this preve we are leaving most of the names out. Why? 'Cuz two participants asked us to do so, saying that it would freak them out if we said nice things about them, or predicted that they would turn in fast times....

St. Croix Valley Triathlons - Doug Boehm, whose last name is simply pronounced "Bome," though it looks like there should be more sound or syllables, smiles a lot. Almost all the time, in fact. For him, life is good, filled with the blessings of great friendships, a wonderful family and having been born a chronically happy guy.
Just when it seemed that his life could not get any better, it did.
Last Saturday, Doug and his 12-year-old tri-newbie son Blake raced at the 12th annual St. Croix Valley Sprint Triathlon in Hudson (photo below R). There was something perfect about that morning, and it just got perfecter and perfecter as the day went on....

Hy Vee 5150 EA Championship - According to an unassailable source, Devon Palmer, Dan Hedgecock just WON the Elite Amateur title at Hy Vee 5150 Total Global Championships in Des Moines this morning, for which he'll receive a little car, which is cool, though the vehicle is not big enough to carry his bike and gear, much less, Claire, who now has to find her own way back to The Cities, and schlep Hedge's bike and gear with her. A minor inconvenience.
Dan's win, combined with his victories at St. Anthony's, Life Time - Minneapolis and amateur title at Chisago Half IM, plus his 3rd at Nationals, probably makes him the frontrunner for the 2012 USAT Athlete of the Year award....
