15th SQUARE LAKE SHORT COURSE - For te THIRD time in her incomparable career, HEATHER LENDWAY has won the overall amateur title in a triathlon. You had to see it to believe it. Her time on the .5 - 16.5 - 5 Square Lake course was insane: 1:25:11.

Other excelees included TONY SCHILLER, 56, who placed 4th overall in the fastest time ever by a 50-plusser, and LISA LENDWAY, who finished 2nd behind her sister and 4:09 ahead of the 3rd place woman. More words, photos and to follow. RESULTS

FYI, Heather and Lisa Lendway's dad, STOPWATCH GREG (photo L), has endured a double knee replacement. Rumors that he keeps his bygone "Caps" in a jar of formaldehyde on the fireplace mantle are unsubstantiated....

IRONMAN WISCONSIN - Terry Lee sent us the list of Minnesotans who will be racing at IMOO tomorrow. Thanks, Terry! 343 Loon Staters are on the start list. That's huge! If you're not on the sidelines in Madison or Verona etc. tomorrow, visit MTN periodically. We will be following the race online and posting stuff about MN's participants.

SQUARE LAKE HALF IM STUFF - MTN is picking JAKE COOLEY (Grand Forks, ND) and MAGGIE FOURNIER (Onalaska, WI) to win tomorrow's Square Lake Half. Cooley is currently in the 2014 Most Improved discussion. A win or a fast time in Washington County could push him over the top.

- MORE HEATHER LENDWAY STUFF - Today's win was the 11th of the season for HL. Only CATHY YNDESTAD has won more multis in a single year. CY won 12 in 2008. Lendway should match that total next week at One Last Tri. Have you signed up for OLT yet? Do it. You'll be glad you did. OLT WEBSITE
