IRONMAN FLORIDA - At least 35 Minnesotans crossed the finish line at Ironman Florida last Saturday, and on behalf of our state's entire multisport community, MTN sends out full-throated congratulations and exuberant hugs and handshakes and high-fives and knuckle-bumps to these amazing people. Well done!

Here, in alpha order, are those Minnesotans who triumphantly placed an exclamation mark at the end of their respective 2012 seasons, doing so on the affectionately-known Redneck Riviera two days ago. Doubtlessly, some will return with tattoos.

I did my normal 20/30/20 on Thursday and Friday pre-race. Also downed tons of minerals and water to super hydrate myself which I managed to do successfully as I weighed in race morning I was an extra 3.0 lbs from what I had weighed a couple days before....
