SHE DID IT! East Gull Lake's Michelle Andres just set an amateur course record at Ironman Wisconsin! Her time was 10:05:30, an eight minute improvement, we believe (we'll check ASAP!), on the prior CR and a whopping 58-minute bettering of her former PR, set on this course in 2008. We could not be happier for you, Michelle! More words and photos to come!
Suzie Fox lost her IM virginity in a magnificently impressive way. Her time was brilliant, a 10:38:43, which placed her 1st in the 25-29W AG, 14th woman overall / 6th amateur. Kona 2013! How cool is that!
Kortney Haag's intro to IMing produced a 10:49:46, which landed her in 6th place in the 30-34W division. Way to rock, Kort!
TIMES & PLACES:
* Heidi Keller-Miler - 11:03:42 (1st IM!) - 3rd 45-49W
* Leah Prudhomme - 11:06:25 - PR - 8th 30-34W...

Hy Vee AG Triathlon Race Report - First off this race was quite an experience for me with all of the pre-race logistics of packet pick-up, mandatory pre-race athlete meeting, bike check-in and the like. It really took me out of my comfort zone of pre-race prep and...

St. Croix Valley Triathlons - Doug Boehm, whose last name is simply pronounced "Bome," though it looks like there should be more sound or syllables, smiles a lot. Almost all the time, in fact. For him, life is good, filled with the blessings of great friendships, a wonderful family and having been born a chronically happy guy.
Just when it seemed that his life could not get any better, it did.
Last Saturday, Doug and his 12-year-old tri-newbie son Blake raced at the 12th annual St. Croix Valley Sprint Triathlon in Hudson (photo below R). There was something perfect about that morning, and it just got perfecter and perfecter as the day went on....

Hy Vee 5150 EA Championship - According to an unassailable source, Devon Palmer, Dan Hedgecock just WON the Elite Amateur title at Hy Vee 5150 Total Global Championships in Des Moines this morning, for which he'll receive a little car, which is cool, though the vehicle is not big enough to carry his bike and gear, much less, Claire, who now has to find her own way back to The Cities, and schlep Hedge's bike and gear with her. A minor inconvenience.
Dan's win, combined with his victories at St. Anthony's, Life Time - Minneapolis and amateur title at Chisago Half IM, plus his 3rd at Nationals, probably makes him the frontrunner for the 2012 USAT Athlete of the Year award....
