2025 CHISAGO LAKES 70.3 - JOE ADRIAENS (photo) is a "podium machine," two of which had happened at the CL 70.3, but wins have escaped him. Until now. Though he came into last Sunday's Chisago Lakes 70.3 as the favorite, we recall that two weeks ago he was favored at Timberman Olympic, yet settled for 2nd because MICAH WARNING had a breakout performance
Was that going to occur again? Maybe. A herefore unknown could upset Joe's plans, and there is a guy, a former Iowan who went to college at Gustavus and now lives in Phoenixville, PA named EAMONN MCCULLOUGH, who had great junior results and has a few sub-2-hour Olympic results. His half IM PR is solid (4:29), but but doesn't stack up to Joe's 4:13.

2025 Timberman Olympic Coverage - On paper, JOE ADRIAENS was the "man to beat" going into last Saturday's race. A legit sub-2-hour racer at the distance, he was the only entrant who, as they say, "has been there and done that." ...

2025 Timberman Sprint Coverage - This year's race drew the most talented women's field in the eleven-year history of the current sprint course. Nine women broke the 1:10 mark. Typically the number is four or five. While true that nine women cracked the 70-minute mark in 2017, those athletes had a flat lake and clear air, unlike last Saturday, where wind and chop and chunky Canadian air prevailed....
