With only six in-state triathlons on the 2025 Minnesota racing calendar in July, Clyde and I couldn't insist that athletes race two or more times during the month to be eligible for AOM recognition. Instead, we are posting our selections for Performances of the Month in four categories: Overall, Juniors, Masters and Grand Masters.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE MONTH:
