Ironman Arizona Stuff - Historically, Minnesotans have rocked socks at Ironman Arizona, the ninth edition (in eight years) of which will happen tomorrow in the totally cool Phoenix suburb of Tempe, pronounced "Tem-pee," which is the home of ASU, whose motto is "Study! Study! Study!" Here's a sampling of the aforementioned rock-starish performances:
* Devon Palmer - 9:04:26 - 17th place (IM Debut!) in 2010
* Andy Schiesl - 9:35:59 - (lowered PR by almost 50 minutes!) in 2011
* Julie Hull - 10:35:53 -

We'll deal with half of these folks today, and the rest on Thursday.

Hawaiian Ironman World Championships - Our sport's Super Bowl is Saturday and our butts will be resolutely planted on our swively office chairs like the tendrilly roots of a fig tree, which according to Wiki.Answers.com has the deepest roots of any tree.
And our eyes will be frozen to our iMac's 20-something inch screen like as many Jeff Daniels' tongues on the frosty support poles of a chair lift. (You saw "Dumb and Dumber," right?) The delivery guy from Red's Savoy on White Bear Avenue has already been instructed to...

The race stayed in Douglas for three years, then moved further north to the town of Pine Island, which is home to...
