Stuff About One Last Tri - MTN already posted partial results for One Last Tri, which took place back on September 16. The event endured a major timing snafu, for which the service provider later explained his situation and apologized profusely for the problems, and though results have finally been generated, it's still not clear whether they are trustworthy.
While race organizers are totally bummed, fearing that many of their participants left the event with frowny faces and negative reviews, the actual vibe at the event wasn't an unhappy one. Quite the opposite. It appeared that most of the entrants enjoyed the experience and and understood that, "these things happen occasionally."...

2012 Minnesota Multisport Awards - We had intended to post the potential Performance of the Year nominations next week, but since the Hy-Vee 5150 Championships three weeks back, followed by Ironman Wisconsin and Leadman Epic 250 - Bend, OR, Minnesotans are buzzing, and rightfully so, about Dan's HUMONGOUS win in Des Moines, Michelle's GARGANTUAN win in Madison, and Cathy's BEHEMOTH win in the Pacific Northwest.
So, let's talk Performance of the Year. In that there are two girls' names in the last sentence, let's do them first. (That sentence didn't finish well, did it?)
So you know, the MMA Selection Committee will be discussing whether a single athlete can have more than two nominations in this category. For our purposes here, we'll list only 2-3 Ps per person. This way we won't have to post every race that Ruth Brennan Morrey did this season....

IRON GIRL - BLOOMINGTON VIII - The 8th annual Iron Girl Du, where all participants are treated like royalty, happened last Sunday at Normandale Lake Park. Dedicated duathlete Jennifer Scudiero of Eagan capped her awesome podium-filled 2012 season with her awesomest effort yet, a convincing victory that is her second career W. She also won this year's Dubuque Du.
Second place went to Lakeville's Joyce Bourassa, whose '12 resume also features a pair of wins--Lakefront Days and Lake Marion Sprint. Joyce and her much taller friend sometimes dresses up in leather Batman outfits (photo), which is kinda...

2012 Minnesota Multisport Awards - Using USAT's prescribed age ranges, to be eligible for a nomination for Minnesota Grand Master of the Year, men must be at least 60, and women, at least 55. A coed category, prospective candidates must have turned in at least three performances that match, exceed or approximate the elite standards set by past award winners, the majority of whom compete at a world or national class level. For instance, the performances ...
