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.;;;

Before we do that, though, we are going to share their pretty-dang-impressive 2012 "On Course" highlights. Let's start with Mike.
