At Lake Waconia a guy said, "Team Minnesota is always the same people. There doesn't seem to be much turnover."
Maturely, we replied, "Is too!
The guy retorted, "Is not!"
This argument went on for another minute before we simply agreed to disagree. We continue to respect each other and remain friends.
Nice allegory, huh?
So we went back to our orifice, which is how we affectionately refer to our office, and did some research. We hope that the guy will read this post. Most of it, anyway.
Let's start with the women. In 2015, the top 3 women--Heather Lendway, Dani Fischer and Cathy Yndestad-- from 2014 were ineligible for inclusion. Heather...

ROOKIES - MTN has been giving tri rookie HANNA GRINAKER a lot of well-deserved cyber ink lately. We want people to know that Gingersnap (Hanna's nickname) isn't the the only neophyte that is turning in impressive efforts this season. We are aware of two other women who also appear to be heading for "Rookie of the Year" nominations.
They are:

IME TRI - MINNEAPOLIS - Our state's largest, grandest and most talent-rich triathlon will celebrate it's 15th anniversary on July 9.
We Googled "15th Anniversary" and learned that, we're not making this up, that you have to give people who have been together for a decade-and-a-half a new watch. In the old days, i.e. the 20th century, you were supposed to give crystal, but modern times call for modern gifts.
So you know, race founder Bahram Akradi has a lot of watches, so you can instead give him the official gemstone of the 15th Anniversary: Rubies....
