RochesterFest Triathlon - The 5th edition of this annual classic was contested this morning under sunny skies with temps in the 70s. Nice. Lots of cool stuff happened that we are anxious to tell you about. But we'll do that on Tuesday 'cuz we're kinda torpid right now. Besides, it's Father's Day. Have you called your dad yet? Here are today's RESULTS.
High Cliff Sprint - MTN congratulates Rochester's Ann Moyer on her win at the High Cliff Sprint in Sherwood, Wisconsin, on Saturday. Her margin of victory over Plymouth, Wisconsin runner-up Brenda Schwaller was exactly one minute. Fellow Tri-Rochester guy, Peter Somers, was the fastest Minnesotan at the High Cliff Half, placing 19th overall in 4:48 and change. RESULTS

RochesterFest Preview - The 5th edition of the RochesterFest Olympic and Sprint Triathlons is Sunday. It's always been a great event and we've no doubt that this year's races will be groovy, too.
Without further "ado," which feels like it should have two Os, doesn't it?, here are MTN's chronically untrustworthy predictions, starting with the sprint race.
- We predict that two-time RST champ Jesse Nelson will duke it out with 2012 Blaine winner Brandon Ordway for the title. Ordway's come a long way since last season, when he finished 17th here. He beat Jesse by one place at Oakdale and two spots at Falls Du. We think that trend will continue....

Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Preview - This year's LMT, the ninth edition thereof, will feature a great blending of usual suspects and talented new kids. All but three of the race's past champions will be back. Missing will be Steve Sanders, who is recovering after some brutal surgerization, and Becky Youngberg, who has been pregnatized (again!) by her randy husband, Jack, and Sarah Mercer, who plans to be somewhere else doing something else on Saturday. The returnees are Brett Lovaas, with four wins and three other podiums, the event's most successful guy; two-time winners Jan Guenther and Heidi Keller-Miler, who is a Hoot!; and one-timers Tony Schiller, John Shelp and Sarah Foley....
