The MMA selection process is a highly democratic deal. Committee members study resumes and results, paying special attention to stuff like field quality, head-to-head performances, racing volume, versatility, i.e. whether athletes excelled in a single area, say, short course triathlon, or in multiple areas, i.e. short course tri, long course tri and duathlon; and speed.
It's not enough to simple win races. There is so much more to consider.

MMA winners Michelle Andres, Greg Taylor and Ruth Brennan Morrey were unable to attend the awards party last Saturday. Michelle, who has a "thing" for naked cowboys (photo L), was hunting deer with her husband and their 10-12 sons while simultaneously celebrating her mom's 70th birthday; Greg was called into work doing important doctor stuff and Ruther was in England, probably drinking a few pints of bitter and eating bangers and mash. They emailed their acceptance comments. Good stuff!
From MICHELLE ANDRES (2012 Performance of the Year - Amateur CR @ Ironman Wisconsin)
Wow! Super neat:). Thanks!!
IMoo was a great day. Almost everything came together for me, but I'm still waiting for that swim thing to click. .
The support I received before the race, the day of the race, and after the race from the Tri community was very heart warming and I appreciated it so much.
I'm honored to be part of an amazing group of athletes and all around nice people! ...

Here's how simple the Gear West Trade-In Your Turkey program is... Bring in your old rig that just doesn't cut it as your triathlon bike anymore. We'll evaluate it, give you a quote, and apply that amount toward the purchase of your new bike. This is an easy, hassle-free way for you to unload that ride, free up some cash and purchase a new bike. We've got lots of bikes to chose from, most of them year-end sale models along with some remaining 2011 demo bikes. Your trade-in will save you even more on these already great values.;;;

In the near future, MTN will be post "Off Course" features on Codpiece Boy, Mike Ladendorf (photo L), Leslie Englert, who is doing this in spite of extreme trepidaciousness, and Megan Rocker, who proudly voted NO on the marriage amendment. Before we do that, though, we are going to share their pretty-dang-impressive 2012 "On Course" highlights. Let's start with Mike.
