A Tonage of Newsy Notesy Stuff...

my first* Hey Tri Vets, tell your timid wannabe tri friends that there are now three unintimidating events designed just for them. They're called MY FIRST TRI. Here's the scoopage:

WHAT IS IT?

A 400 yard swim, 10 mile bike and 2 mile run

We don't know of any other event where you can actually do the entire race with an experienced and friendly mentor, doing the race right along side you during the swim, bike and run!

Anyone can do a triathlon...and we'll help you with your first. Once you start, you'll find that it's so much fun, you can't wait to do the next leahone! WEBSITE

* K-Swiss will host at Tri Clinic at Fit to be Tri'd in Northfield on June 9. Though geared toward new triathletes, all are welcome. The clinic is from 6-8 pm and conducted by K-Swiss' totally cool Gea Miller and here equally cool sidekick, Leah Prudhomme (see totally sexy photo R). LINK

logo* The TriTonka Triathlon is coming to Western Hennepin County this July. TriTonka is an adult sprint triathlon and kids triathlon that are held consecutively on July 17th. The adult triathlon starts on Little Long Lake at 7am, followed by a youth triathlon starting at Mound Westonka High School at 9:15am. Come alone, come as a team and come and race with your kids.

* This item is so cute and so cool that we had to share it. It features a frisky kitty cat and some dolphins and is a total hoot. It has absolutely nothing to do with triathlon, but check it out anyway, okay? LINK

* Listen to your body...or your husband! (From Kortney Haag's Blogsite)

At about 2:30 on Monday afternoon there was almost a huge sale on Ebay of triathlon merchandise. That is about the time I found out that I had a broken bone in my hand.

Kind of a long story to tell so I am going to keep it simple since I am kind of typing with one hand. Basically injured myself at the Gear West Duathlon and thought I was ready to race. READ MORE
