Monday, 31 May 2010 06:00

MMA nominations; then a truckload of MMA awards. US AOY honorable mentions; then the AOY crown. Enough milestones to build a pyramid.

On Saturday another stone was placed upon Cathy Yndestad's growing pile of rock-solid accomplishments. On Saturday, she won the venerable Apple Duathlon, a wonderful cap-feather in itself, but doing so also made her the first woman in the storied 11-year history of the Midwest Multisport Series to win all 10 of its member races. And with that quietly historic triumph on Saturday, she joined David Thompson as the MMS's most successful participants....
