Square. Lake 70.3 Race Report - I must admit, I had a ton of anxiety about this race. I kept checking the low temp all week and it looked like it was going to be in the low 40s, and it was. I hate being cold. More than anything. This was new territory for me, getting out of the swim and getting on the bike at 42 degrees, would be a new experience....

KADIE HOKANSON, 43, Alexandria – Five starts. Four outright women's wins, one 2nd. Concerns? Kinda. Race selection. Her toughest competion was at Green Lake Intermediate, where she placed 2nd behind fellow Master Becky Youngberg. Kadie's win at Square Lake 70.3 was impressive.
TIFFANY KARI-CIZMAS, 44, Duluth (photo)– Four starts. One overall women's win, two 2nds and a 4th (1st Master). Concerns? Not really. PS - Tiff WON One Last Tri Olympic outright on September 15!
BETTINA KEPPERS, 41, Duluth – Three MN starts. Two wins and a 2nd. She is an avid Xterra triathlete and we haven't evaluated those performances yet. Concerns”?Yes, she finished behind Kari-Cizmas at Buzz Ryan.

Who are the Juniors that rocked the hardest during the 2024 season. Below are what may be the frontrunners for Junior of the Year.
Boys -
NOAH BILLINGS, 18, Rochester - The two-time JOY is a prolific racer, with at least ten completed tris on his 2024 scorecard. He won three of those races, including Junior Nationals. The only concern for the MMH Guys is that he finished behind fellow juniors on four occasions.
CORBIN DEICHMAN, 16, Mankato - Corbin won at least two (three?) races this year and didn't lose to a fellow junior in regional competition in his five (six?) starts. He was especially impressive in his win at Maple Grove Sprint where he outraced fellow elite juniors Noah Billings, Nolan Snyder and Kyler Williams. Concerns? His efforts at Nationals, however, were not as impressive as his regional performances against adult competition. (NOTE: For MMH purposes, perormances in DL races are excluded from consideration.) ...
