Saturday Stuff...

jennyCHASE THE POLICE TRI III - Groovy race this morning in Walker. Lots of awesome performances and rewritten divisional records on a morning that was perfect for such stuff. Sean Kaneski and Jenny Wilcox (YndeCam photo L), who recorded her 15th career multi win, led the way.

2010 CTP champ Leanne Bronson was totally rocking and rolling when a bad thing rendered her bike un-rideable. She smiled, shrugged her shoulders and had a beer. She'll rock socks at Brewhouse next week. A 70-year-iold lady named Vera made her tri debut, as did her son and teenage granddaughter.. It was soooo cool.

More words and some great images on Tuesday. RESULTS

Of course, some skeptics decry the veracity of the VST (Victory Scent Theory), claiming that such a phenomenon simply does not exist. Others believe that impending victory has a feel, not a scent, and that said feeling is delectable in either...

LC RESULTS It's companion sprint, which celebrated it's 5th anniversary, was won by David Gurney and Marie Moeckel (photo), a dentist in Moorhead who loves Meatloaf, the singer, not the hamburger thing, and "would do anything for love, but I won't do that." Of course, she has nice teeth and flosses regularly. SPRINT RESULTS

CHASE THE POLICE III MINI-PREVIEW- The women's field will be deeper than ever this year, despite the absence of 2011 Minnesota Triathlete of the Year nominee, Michelle Andres (pronounced "Ann'-drees"), who won last year and totally chicked all but three of the 325ish finishers. She does that kind of stuff a lot....

Stuff You Know, And Stuff You Don't About DKT...

dktED. In case you haven't read the great interview with David Thompson that appeared on Slowtwitch.com last Tuesday, here it is:
