HOOT LAKE TRIATHLON- 192 guys and gals crossed the finish line of the umpteenth annual Hoot Lake Triathlon in Fungus Falls this morning. Okay, it's actually "Fergus Falls," but Angie Hop, who won there last year but did Waseca 1/3 instead this season (and rocked!), prefers it's affectionate eukaryotic sobriquet.
The event was won by Ryan Deyounge of Worthington, who may or may not be the drummer for Christian rock band "Mainstay," who supposedly sound a little like the "Goo Goo Dolls," and Missy Heilman (photo L), who likes red cocktails, "Daughtry" (Who doesn't?) and "The Biggest Loser." According to runner-up Cindy Schlafmann, a world....

CHASE THE POLICE TRI III - Groovy race this morning in Walker. Lots of awesome performances and rewritten divisional records on a morning that was perfect for such stuff. Sean Kaneski and Jenny Wilcox (YndeCam photo L), who recorded her 15th career multi win, led the way.
2010 CTP champ Leanne Bronson was totally rocking and rolling when a bad thing rendered her bike un-rideable. She smiled, shrugged her shoulders and had a beer. She'll rock socks at Brewhouse next week. A 70-year-iold lady named Vera made her tri debut, as did her son and teenage granddaughter.. It was soooo cool.
More words and some great images on Tuesday. RESULTS

Waseca IV Preview - Some athlete's claim that victory has a "scent,"and that they can detect it prior to an event they are destined to win.
According to a guy who calls himself a Quantum Smellocologist, Victory Aroma is not only delectable by those who will be overall champions. It is also perceptible to those who will win their AGs, or "win" a PR, or win a personal battle with a particular adversary, or whatever defines winning for them.
Cool.
Of course, some skeptics decry the veracity of the VST (Victory Scent Theory), claiming that such a phenomenon simply does not exist. Others believe that impending victory has a feel, not a scent, and that said feeling is delectable in either...

PAUL BUNYAN TRIATHLON - Minnesotan Ryan Welle and Canadian Lori Green were their gender's winners at last weekend's 4th annual Paul Bunyan Long Course Triathlon. LC RESULTS It's companion sprint, which celebrated it's 5th anniversary, was won by David Gurney and Marie Moeckel (photo), a dentist in Moorhead who loves Meatloaf, the singer, not the hamburger thing, and "would do anything for love, but I won't do that." Of course, she has nice teeth and flosses regularly. SPRINT RESULTS
CHASE THE POLICE III MINI-PREVIEW- The women's field will be deeper than ever this year, despite the absence of 2011 Minnesota Triathlete of the Year nominee, Michelle Andres (pronounced "Ann'-drees"), who won last year and totally chicked all but three of the 325ish finishers. She does that kind of stuff a lot....
