Sophomore Success!

ruth-panama.gifRochester's second-year pro, RUTH BRENNAN MORREY, turned in an awesome performance on Sunday at Panama 70.3. Here's a portion of the coverage that appeared on triathlon.competitor.com:

While Bazelen was able to stay strong for third, defending champion Wurtele was not so lucky: She suffered heatstroke in the final miles of the race and did not finish. In a surprising turn of events, American Ruth Brennan Morrey—a psychologist and mother of three from Rochester, Minn.—turned in the fastest run on the women’s side (1:21:31) to leapfrog her way to fifth place.

Strong Opinions...

Drugs-and-Syringes-007.gifBy Devon Palmer (palmertri.wordpress.com)

The Endurance Live Awards chose to honor Hines Ward, some ultra guy and an obvious doper. They did give out some awards to deserving folks. Javier Gomez and Brena Martinez (great track season, medal at the world championships) and Mirinda Carfrae all won awards. But to give male runner of the year to an ultra guy? What about the track or road athletes who actually run races against fast athletes? Nick Symmonds and Matt Centrowitz both got silver medals at Track Worlds in 2013. Those are pretty good accomplishments. As for Hines Ward, hasn’t he gotten enough attention and...

How to Date a Triathlete...

heart.gifIn honor of Valentine’s Day, Triathlon.Competitor.com look back on a popular archive from author Lauren Harsch: A simple, four-step guide on how to date, and maybe one day marry, a triathlete.

I dated and then married a top amateur Ironman triathlete. I feel like anyone who has deserves a medal or trophy—we are a strong group of independent people. Here are a few rules I’ve learned along the way that might benefit anyone married to multisport by affiliation and not necessarily personal choice.

A Note From CY & Results Links...

cy-and-patti.gifED. We heard from Cathy Yndestad recently. She filled us in on what she's doing this winter and some of her tentative plans--racing and coaching--for the 2014 multi season. Photo - CY and her "Norsk mann," KY.
 
Hi MTN Guys,
 
How are you? Hope you're making the best of this frigid winter.  I made the mistake of staying here in MN to ski, but it's been too cold (for me) to enjoy that. I'll ski the 50K Birkie next weekend in Hayward, then I'm off to the sunny southwest where I'll be coaching a few different cycle/triathlon camps with Troy Jacobson and the Life Time Endurance Team thoughout the month of March. I'll most likely enter the Leadman Marquee race in Tempe at the beginning of April. I haven't registered for any races aside from Ironman Arizona in November, but I'll likely do my favorites - Tri Nona, Mpls Tri,  then who knows. I'd love to race...
