The SCVO has an auspicious history, both from the competitive and gastronomic standpoints. Great racing and sublime eating. The roast pig is totally nummy.

IRONMAN LOUISVILLE STUFF - After a very cursory peek at the IM Louisville results, we ran across these familiar Minnesota names: Gillian Auslander (4th 40-44W - 11:00:25 - IQ), Sarah Berger (11:32:19), Nikki Haas (11:55:58), Daryl Stevens (4th 65-69M - 14:20:04), Pam Stevens (3rd 55-59W - 13:08:07) and Amy Woolsey (12:09:18).
And former Minnesotan, Casey Richter, now of Denver, CO, totally rocked: 10:49:18 / 19th overall / 10th amateur female. Very cool!
MTN congratulates all the IMLOO participants and extends special love for those who reside in MN. Hey, if you just did Louisville, or know someone who did, use the ADD COMMENT feature at the bottom of this page to post names and results and anything you'd like to say.

Product Review...
By Jennifer Martone
My relationship with the LG Vorttice helmet is a bit of a love-hate scenario. I'm the first to admit I'm a sucker for any excuse to shave milli-seconds off my bike time.

Maple Grove Olympic - Five years and three weeks ago Minnesota Athlete of the Decade, Cathy Yndestad, was beaten at Turtleman by fellow Minnesotan, Heidi Keller-Miler, and honorary Minnesotan, Marnie Walth.
That was the last time that CY has finished behind a Loon State woman in a triathlon.
Until Saturday, that is.
Four days ago Cathy blasted out of T2 at the Maple Grove Olympic Triathlon knowing that she better put close to a half mile (3 minutes) under her Kwicky Blades before Claire Bootsma got off her bike. Less than that would be fatal. Claire is just too fast afoot....
