Nate Almost Got "Spoused"....UPDATED...

coupleRace Coverage - The 29th edition of the Elysian Triathlon was contested beneath a sullen sky, one which, like a pouting child, alternated between periods of silent seething and tantrumical outbursts.

Okay. That was a rather overwritten way of saying that sometimes it rained; sometimes it didn't.

And no, "tantrumical" is not a real word. "Tantrum" does not have an official adjectival form.

Race Coverage - You may have heard that Megan Rocker was the women's champion at last Saturday's 4th annual Du at the Dam. Even if you didn't, most of you know that she's a pretty darn good multisporter. She placed 7th at Oakdale, in case you weren't aware.
