USAT NAtionals Race Reports - This past weekend in Omaha, NE was the USA Triathlon National championships for the Olympic distance on Saturday, and Sprint distance on Sunday. This is a tremendous event and I enjoy being part of it every year! I also feel blessed to qualify to be part of it every year as this is one fast race filled with the best athletes in the country!

The weather this past weekend in Omaha was hot, humid, sunny and just plain tough! Carter lake is the site of the swim, and let’s say this is some of the dirtiest water I have ever swam in! water temp was 87 degrees which is wicked hot! So for me the swim was not going to be great I do much better in colder water and with my wet suit J. Regardless of the water temp we all had to deal with it and perform. The issue I had was I don’t feel as confident in my swim as I do the bike and run, and so I like...

It’s hard to put into words just how much Madison and IRONMAN Wisconsin mean to me. If it tells you anything, I teared up both just talking about the mass swim start and when getting ready to bike the course on Saturday. It will forever hold a special place in my heart ♥ (And, I’d be lying if I didn’t already think about trying to add the race to this year’s calendar… because two IMs in less than a month would be a great idea, right?!) ....

LAKES COUNTRY TRIATHLON - WADE CRUSER will be going for his 5th victory of the season at LCT this Sunday and we predict he will not only win, but demolish the CR. His 2nd place (by 2 seconds!) effort here in 2015 marked his emergence as a star in our region, and he has been even impressiver ever since.

How fast will he go? Our guess is that he will pop a time in the 58-flat area.

And he'll be pushed by another guy who is enjoying a breakout season in 2016: CASEY MILLER. Thus far this season, Casey's scorecard features three wins and three seconds....

Haag, Roberts, Grinaker, Walker....Updated Yet Again...

SUPERIORMAN PREVIEW - KORTNEY HAAG has seven half IM wins on her resume, including here in 2015 when she set the women's course record (4:43:08). Once again, she will enter the race as the favorite.

On paper, Haag's stiffest challenge will come from a woman who hasn't raced the 70.3 distance since her only attempt at the in 2010. Her name is CHRISTINA ROBERTS, and her time at Liberty was 5:16:42. She placed 7th.

Kortney knows that the 2016 version of Christina Roberts is much faster than the 2010 version. Roberts was ranked 2nd on Team...
