END-Tombed

By Bonnie Tirenubbles

The tent was frozen solid, the door flap actually crackling as I pushed it open and crawled hunched over out onto the frozen ground. I tried to straighten my knotted-up back as music suddenly blared out over a loud speaker from beyond the trees, shattering the morning air. Earlier, at 2:30am to be exact, my fellow Zombie Rider and husband and I had been talking about the race from within our tent-igloo.

ITU Long Distance World Championships - The MTN Guys sent me out to Henderson, NV, a sprawling bedroom suburb south of Las Vegas, for Saturday's ITU Long Distance Worlds.

Being a sheltered Midwesterner, I was unprepared for some of the stuff I encountered there. Like "Pricasso," and the "Lingerie Football League." And roving bands of methed-up Elvis impersonators.

In case you don't know, Pricasso is an artist from Australia who paints portraits with, and I'm not making this up, his weenie. No, I didn't buy a ticket to his "exhibition," which was at one of The Strip's more garish hotel/casinos. Wait! All the hotel/casinos on The Strip are garish....

* 2011 MINNESOTA MULTISPORT AWARDS PARTY - Space is limited and registration has been brisk. The reg. ceiling will be reached well in advance of the November 19 event date. Please act quickly, okay? Also, there are some award nominees who haven't contacted us yet. We need to hear from those guys and gals ASAP. EVENT INFO

The MMAs are presented by Minnesota Tri News. This year's MMA Night would not have been possible without the big-hearted support of Gear West Bike & Triathlon and OptumHealth Performance. Neither company asked to be acknowledged or promoted here but we are doing so anyway because we are literally bursting with gratitude. Heck, if we could, we'd buy Kevin and Frank a new car....

Eloquent Images...

ED. MTN does not post a lot of pro news. We let all the other tri-websites, most of which ignore the fact that AGers are the engine of The Lifestyle, do that. We're making an exception today, though. Lee Gruenfeld is a good friend and supremely eloquent with both words and images. Check out his Kona recap. If these images don't move you, well, you need a new soul.
