Dave's Dickensian Tale
By David Kerber
Today was the worst day I have had in my 2 year career of triathlon…and it was also my best day. Today I raced the Duluth Superiorman Half Ironman (my first half ironman), and it was the hardest test of strength, endurance and will power I have experienced in all my 26 years on this earth.
Before I get into the details of race day and the lessons-learned, let me first set you up with the prelude to this race day story. Training: 20 week plan win which I hardly ever deviated and almost always felt fresh and strong (ok, there were maybe a few days I felt tired and sore). Confidence: All-time high!

Harvest Duathlon III - Have you seen the 2013 results page for last Saturday's Harvest Du? At first glance it appears chaotic, as if the participants were listed by height or weight, instead of place or time. This is because we assumed we would see a listing of finishers from 1st to last.
But you know what happens when we assume.
At second glance, though, we figured out that the results were alphabetical, which is cool because it makes everyone equal and people, especially those who finished in the middle or back of the race, can easily look up their own times and places, or those of people they know. So, we get it. These results are designed to be "friendly," which we totally appreciate....

Lots O' Updates
By Matthew Payne (matthew-payne.blogspot.com)
'Sup internet? Long time, no updates. What have I been up to? Hell, what haven't I been up to. I feel like I've been running in 5 different directions at once for the last several weeks.
Lake Waconia Tri
First up is the Lake Waconia Tri. This has always been one of my favorite races, but even more so the last couple years because they hang up a super sexy banner of yours truly....

Ironman Louisville Race Report- The weekend started fast when I drove Angie Schmidt's car through a toll booth without stopping. To my defense there was rain and construction and there are not tolls where I am from. There were points while I was driving her new car through Chicago when she had her eyes covered.
The race was hell, but it was hell for everyone, so an even playing field. The swim was fast and fun. The bike I took easy because I was determined not to overheat. This year, they only had 5 tires blow up from heat the day before during the mandatory bike check in, previous years there has been 100+.
On the bike in the steep out-and-back there was a crash leading to a pile up, and a couple more bike crashes throughout the day. The run was hot and flat, boring, seem to take forever. I was on mile 9 or so, when the first...
