GRANITEMAN BIG LAKE PREVIEW - There's four great races--Big Lake, Brewhouse, Waseca, Minnewaska--to choose from this weekend. We certainly hope that you do one (or more) of them.
Today we are previewing the Saturday's 7th annual G-Man Big Lake Triathlon. A great event at an awesome venue. It is also the third and final race of the Graniteman Tri Series.

Predictions:
- RYAN COLLINS will be the tallest participant.
- SARAH FOLEY will wear compression socks.
- JEN NEUMAN (photo top) will smile constantly.
- JOE ADRIAENS will win the men's Olympic title. It will be, we believe, his first career multisport victory. The guy is ready!
- GREG DUMMER will have the biggest biceps in the race, though BRIAN STORHAUG's are a close 2nd. Greg will also dominate his AG in the sprint, and will crack the overall Top 5.
- KORTNEY HAAG and KELLY TROM will place 1-2 in the women's Olympic competition. Both will nuke the existing CR. For Kort, the win will be the 20th of her stellar career.
- PETER LANCASTER will wear designer glasses and look really cool.
- ANDREA MYERS will fill out the women's Olympic podium.
- ROB MADGWICK, AMY WOOLSEY and BETHANY COLLINS will rock AG wins.
