WARNING: This story may have been embellished slightly.

Sean is the guy with the tattoos and a loud Peter Griffin sense of humor. He got into sport belching when he was in junior college back in the Reagan era, but hasn't done much of that lately; certainly not in the last few weeks, anyway. He loves women but hates marriage. He's not very good at it. He has a child or two that he hasn't met.
John is Sean's friend. He's a quiet guy, except during hockey season, and looks like he may have played football in high school. He has two kids, both of whom he knows well. They live with him and the family dog, a slobbery Mastiff named Slap Shot, in a double-wide outside of Faribault....

Like Hankee, Sauer is a total hoot and speaks real good American. She is also a very nice person. Her name is either pronounced "Ang-kee" or "Ang-kah."
We're not sure.
Haag now has eight career victories, three of which were posted on this course.
Men's pre-race fave David Holden picked up his 2nd SCVO victory this morning. His time was 2:01:30. Holden has won three of the six races he's entered in 2011 and may again earn a Master of the Year nomination, as he did in '10. ...

Pigman Half Race Report - Great weather .... resulted in some course records and lots of PR's. David Thompson lowered his course record by 4 minutes and Derek and I also PR'd. I was looking forward to this race the whole year - it was definitely my A race.
We headed down to Des Moines Iowa to spend the week with Derek's family on Sunday afternoon after I raced the YWCA Women's Triathlon. This was a great race and so well organized. I wasn't sure I was going to race this until about a week before. I have only done two sprints before the YWCA race and I go about the same speed for an Olympic as I do a Sprint!!! Sprint races are not for me but it was tons of fun though and I had a blast just racing with..
