Steph and the Fish Kisser...

Event Coverage - Ten members of the MJets took part in last Sunday's OHP #3 Indoor Triathlon. We were not surprised that Stephanie Solfelt, a Top 15 overall finisher at AG Nationals last year, led the way for the girls. Predictably, the 21-year-old posted her gender's briskest swim and run splits. If Steph develops her bike skills, she would emerge as a force on not only the regional tri scene, but the national one, as well.

The other two podium spots for the girls were earned respectively by St. Cloud sisters, Greta and Paige Danielson. At 18, Greta is two years older than Paige, though Paige is like almost a foot taller. Paige's swim needs work, but she possesses encouraging cycling and running aptitude. Both girls were nominated for MN Junior of the Year in 2011....

Minnesota's New Races...

blaineRace Previews - There are at least seven new multis on Minnesota's 2012 outdoor calendar, bringing the unofficial total to a record 90 events. Whew! Do you plan to do any of them? We hope so.

In case you haven't already signed-up for any of these races, here they are for your consideration (MTN advertisers are capitalized and we feel they deserve a wee bit of extra love here!):

* May 12 - Central Lakes Duathlon (Fergus Falls) - A unique bike-run-bike event (B - 19.9, R - 3.9 trails, B - 6.9). Cool concept! WEBSITE

* May 19 - BLAINE TRIATHLON - This new event is also bike-heavy, which should appeal to saddle-crazed Minnesotans. (S .3, B - 16.7, R - 3.5). This event deserves extra love because it advertises on MTN. WEBSITE

Where Cool Dudes and Dudettes Hang Out...

OHP Indoor Tri #3 Coverage - Jeff Hunsaker is a tri newby who is a totally nice guy with a great sense of humor and wears designer eyeglasses. Last Saturday evening he quaffed several pints of Stone IPA and ate more than half of an extra large BBQ chicken pizza. On Sunday morning the groggy and cotton-mouthed Hunsaker drove to OptumHealth Performance's training center in Eden Prairie, where he participated in his first indoor triathlon, a feat he finished, though not without a preponderance of backstroking. After the event he drove home and, too ravenous to wait for his oven to heat up, nuked the remainder of yesterday's pizza, which he consumed while listening to "Infinite" by Eminem.

Jeff plans to make his outdoor swim-bike-run debut at the inaugural Blaine Triathlon on May 19....
