USAT LONG COURSE DUATHLON NATIONALS - MTN congratulates former US Duathlete of the Year JENN SCUDIERO, of Eagan, who likes to party (photo), on her awesome performance last weekend at Long Distance Du Nationals in hot, super humid, windy Cary, North Carolina. She placed 6th against a stellar field. Check out the Top 6: 

- 1. DANIELLE DINGMAN (Branson, MO) - Rising star. Undefeated in three du starts in 2016.

- 2. KIRSTEN SASS (McKenzie, TN) - Two-time US Doy, three-time US TOY. Reigning World Du Champion.

- 3. DANI FISCHER (Indianapolis, IN) - 2014 US Duathlete of the Year who has the best dimples ever.

- 4. JAIME SIMMONS (Abingdon, VA) - Outstanding 70.3 credentials. Raced in one du in 2016 and won handily.

- 5. REBECCA KEFER, 16 (Kernersville, NC) - Outstanding prep distance runner with Div. I future. Raced in one prior du that we know of--at age 15--and won it....

- 6. JENNIFER SCUDIERO - 2013 DOY. 14 career duathlon victories. Jenn will post a race report on her blog soon. We will repost with a link to her site.  COMPLETE RESULTS

- 33rd MORRIS TINMAN TRIATHLON - A total of twenty-six athletes participated in this year's races (sprint and Olympicish). As expected, SHEENA DAUER won the longer course event, placing 2nd overall behind former Minnesotan Mick Bakker, now of Anchorage Alaska. Do you know Mick? He's an awesome  guy who likes to come back to his former stomping grounds are do a few races. RESULTS

- ST. ANTHONY'S TRIATHLON - We've all had 'em, haven't we? You know, you go into a race anxious to excel but your body doesn't work. You push, and you struggle, and things only get worse. Such experiences can be motivating and often result in future ass-kicking efforts.

Well, it was one of those days for St. Paul's HEATHER LENDWAY (photo), who in 2015 podiumed at St. Anthony's, an iconic early season Olympic race that still respects pros and offers generous prize money. Her performance in  '15 jumpstarted a season that resulted in her being named US Pro Rookie of the Year.

Heather will be blogging soon about her Tampa Bay ordeal, and we'll be reposting with a link to her site. RESULTS
