Suzie Fox (left in photo) is having a good month. She turns 30 in a few days. She is recovered from a nasty torn-something in her hip, she just recorded her 14th career win, at Lake Waconia Triathlon, earning herself the top qualifying slot for Best of the U.S. and a fabulous bottle of Finisher Wine with which to celebrate.
She is also racing fast, fast, fast...her dominating win today (1:34:24) is 2nd-fastest of all time. At right in the pic with Suzie is young Stephanie Solfelt, a rising star in Minnesota's ultra-competitive tri world and 3rd place today. Stephanie was 2nd here last year, but unable to race at the Best of the U.S. Championship. If you don't recognize the woman in the middle, don't be too hard on..

The Inaugural St James Triathlon was a resounding success on what began as a stormy Sunday morning. This was a new race this year in what is becoming a burgeoning Triathlon community in Southern Minnesota. St James is just the latest town to add a triathlon to their summer events, and join the ranks of Mankato, Waseca, Fairmont, Albert Lea, Jackson, St Peter, and Rochester as great racing options south of the Twin Cities.
St James was well organized, and had enviable door prizes to include bikes, an iPod and other great prizes! The pool swim made the race a great way to break into the sport for tri virgins and nervous open water swimmers; which

RochesterFest VI - Do you remember the beginning of "The Bourne Supremacy" where Matt Damon as Jason Bourne was running on the beach in western India? He was going balls-out, world-record pace and wasn't even breathing. His mouth didn't move at all. He wasn't puffing, much less panting.
How can he do that?
Well, apparently it can be done 'cuz that "fast-yet-non-breathing" style is how Kat Schlaefer runs (photo L - nice "Gunshow"). It's amazing. And despite being, as they say in Bournesque espionage-istic jargon, "off the grid" in 2011, Ms. Schaleger's O2-less running has helped propel her to victory in six of her last 12 multisport starts, the most recent of which was on Sunday at the 6th annual RochesterFest Olympic....
