(Great Nick Morales Photo - This is NOT a pic of Randy Fulton peeing, but it sure looks like it. What does this shot have to do with what's posted below? Nothing, really.)
Micro-Previews - Without preamble, here are MTN's predictions for Sunday's triathlons:
- 14th PIGMAN HALF - DKT will win for the umpteenth (8th) time. We think that, as a motivating prelude to her IM debut in Madison next month, Kortney Haag will not only share the Winner's Circle with David, she'll set a CR and PR in the process. We're pulling for you, Kort!
Also, we expect Suzie Fox, Minnesota's fastest athlete who owns more than five dogs, to blow away her 70.3 PR. She has raced brilliantly in 2012, and a next level effort on Sunday could solidify a Triathlete of the Year ...

DULUTH TRIATHLON - Beth Shipston loves Duluth. It was there that the totally pretty, fun-loving single mom from Thunder Bay did her first triathlon--Brewhouse--and was introduced to baby back ribs, to which she has become irretrievably addicted. Her favorite Post-Czar Russia-inspired burrito restaurant is there, too, as is her favorite craft brewer (Fitger's).
She'll be visiting her favorite American town next Saturday. And eight days after that, as well. On Saturday, she'll participate in the inaugural Duluth Triathlon. Two Sundays hence, she'll to the Superior Man as be a part of a relay team.
She didn't want to choose between these first-year half IMs, so she found a way to do both. How cool is that! ...
A Good Day...

USAT AG NATIONALS - The current frontrunners for the USAT Athlete of the Year Award (Male), in our fallible opinion, are Drew Scott, 22, Boulder, Colorado, Adam Webber, 31, Denver, Pennsylvania, and Daniel Hedgecock, 25, St. Louis Park, Minnesota (photo below). And yes, we believe that these amazingly talented guys will, in any order, land on the overall podium at Nationals this weekend. Adam, the amiable 6'5" cop, and Hedge have been there before. Scott, son of Hall of Famer Dave Scott has not, BUT he has been kicking arse, amateur and pro alike, all season long. ...
