Newsy Notesy Stuff - Congratulations are in order! According to our records, Duluth's premier multisportsman, Brian Bich (photo L), now 45, recorded his 40th career triathlon win last Saturday at the Dakota Man near Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
One of America's most decorated amateur triathletes, Bich is a former USAT Master of the Year (2008), an award he's been nominated for three times, and was US Athlete of the Year Honorable Mention in 2005. He has won nine MMAs, four of which were for Triathlete of the Year, and has cracked the overall Top 10 at Nationals on four occasions. And he has twice reached the podium at the Best of the US National Championship (2005, 2008)....

By Bonnie Moebeck
All around me were packs of teams- Edina Realty with their own bus, bike transport truck, and nearly their own air to breath; Cargill looking mean and green, ready to kick grain in our faces; the Backdrafters collaborating over some sort of new drafting technique; Target clad in giant red and white circled jerseys.

We'll have to ask him.
Incidently, the men's winner was Aussie, Paul Matthews.
