Fergus Falls Has It Going On...

logoRace Preview - There are plenty of good reasons to do the inaugural Central Lakes Cycle Duathlon on Saturday.

"Name seven!" a guy shouted challengingly.

Hokey dokey.

- First of all, the event is UNIQUE! Launching with a 19.6 mile bike portion (TT start), then followed by a 3.9 mile run and concluding with a 6.9 mile bike, this is unlike anything that most multisporters have ever heard of, much less participated in. And if you can't get enough saddle time, this event is definitely for you. Most tris have in the neighborhood of a 4-1 bike-to-run ration. Standard dus are in the 3-1 range. The CLCD has almost a 7-1 bike/run ratio. Cool, huh!...

Something About Being Home...

ED. In addition to being a very talented triathlete, Ang, aka "Hopper," is a hoot. Her mind works in a spacey sort of stream-of-consciousy way. Unsurprisingly, that is also how she writes. We totally enjoyed her words. We know you will, too.

Thick Hair, Pink Pants & a Very Tall Guy...

nordicaRace Coverage - Nordica Stocker (photo L) is very pretty and has really thick hair. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Did you also know that her favorite color is orange? And that she unashamedly watches the "Real Housewives of (fill in name of city here)" and is really sad because Amy Winehouse died? (FYI, We are, too!)

And did you know that she won her first multisport race last Saturday?

And she did so with panache....

Avuncularity & Manpris...

suzEvent Preview - Lake Elmo Park Reserve is an ideal place to stage a duathlon, and for the past decade some of our region's most exciting and competitive run-bike-runs have been contested there. The courses are scenic, fast, well-designed and easy to manage. A Win-Win situation for athletes and event producers alike.

The 11th edition of the event of which we speak--the Oakdale Duathlon--will take place on Saturday and between 400 and 500 folks are expected to race. A glance at the current start list has us anxious to do some prognosticating. So, without further ado:...

Ruthie's Epic Effort...

Race Coverage - The 5th annual Cinco du Mayo Long Course Duathlon, contested at Square Lake last Saturday morning, featured record attendance (300ish total entrants in both events, including the requisite no-shows / 251 finishers), a Shaq-tall guy in a sombrero, Casa Lupita tacos, Margarita glasses as awards and brilliant performances.

An oatmeal ceiling of clouds, light to moderate breeziness and 50-degree temps greeted the athletes, as did the aforementioned tall guy in the ridiculous, albeit ridiculously cool, hat. The guy was co-race-director Jason Goepfert, a terminally likable chap. His lovely, smiley wife, Lisa, was also clad in a sombrero and, like Jason, wore a sinister-looking bandito mustache, which was fake, of course. All that was missing, and perhaps this can be added in 2013, were ...
