Race Coverage - Taggart Downare picked up his fourth victory of the season and fifth of his career at the 4th annual Kickin'Leaves Duathlon yesterday. His CR-crushing time was 58:17 and his margin over runner-up Ryan Herzog was an adipose 4:04. Tara Makinen, who will submit a race report in a few days, won the women's race by a similarly plump margin. The Grand Rapids event was our state's final multisport event of the year....

Wanna see what smooth, fast running looks like? Former Minnesota Master Triathlete of the Year and total hoot, Heidi Keller-Miler sent us a link to the MDRA website which features a video of this year's Victory 5K & 10K. It was videographicated by super triathlete and truly tall person Curt Wood. Curt is already 7'4" but on Rollerblades, he shoots up to 8'2".

Minnesota Multisport Awards - Brian Bich (2008) and Tony Schiller (2002) are former US Masters of the Year and each have been nominated for that award on several occasions. Greg Taylor was nominated for that prize in 2009 and Rhett Bonner was given serious consideration as well. These are the guys who set the 40+ bar in Minnesota. There are many, many talented male masters in our state, but only those whose 2010 resumes approximate, match or exceed the Bichian-Schillerian-Taylorian-Bonnerian standards will receive MOY nominations.
Did Brian, Tony, Greg and Rhett race as well this year as they have in season's past? And are they shoo-ins for nominations?
Maybe. Maybe not...

2010 Minnesota Multisport Awards - It's a goshdarn shame. Only four women can be nominated for Master of the Year.
There are more than thirty 40-54 girls who have enjoyed successful 2010 multisport seasons. Whittling that group down to four finalists will not be an easy task for the MMA Selection Committee. The quadrumvirate that survives the cut will have to have done much more than simply win some divisional titles. They will have won races outright or made...
