* BOUS STUFF - When Patrick Parish left T2 on Saturday at the 7th annual Best of the US National Championship in Gulf Shores, AL, which incidentally is a totally bitchin' place, he was in 4th place, exactly three minutes behind the leader, Louisiana's Ben Hall, and 2:08 behind eventual winner and Minnesota teammate Matthew Payne. Patrick then laid down a brilliant 33:20 10K split, which allowed him to overtake National Classers Hall, James Haycraft (NC) and Colin Riley (FL) and come within 12 seconds of catching Payne. The Minnesotans were the stars of the show, each blowing the doors off the previous race record (2:02:23) and setting Olympic distances PRs: 1:52:45 & 1:52:57.
The win was the 16th of Payne's young career and 5th of the 2011 season. Matt's race report will post tomorrow.
* TWO-TIMIN' -MTN sends congratulationous kudos to Jamie Heying, who became the Burrito Union 5 & 10 Hour Tri's first two-time solo...

WARNING: This story may have been embellished slightly.
By Warren Peece
Sean is the guy with the tattoos and a loud Peter Griffin sense of humor. He got into sport belching when he was in junior college back in the Reagan era, but hasn't done much of that lately; certainly not in the last few weeks, anyway. He loves women but hates marriage. He's not very good at it. He has a child or two that he hasn't met.
John is Sean's friend. He's a quiet guy, except during hockey season, and looks like he may have played football in high school. He has two kids, both of whom he knows well. They live with him and the family dog, a slobbery Mastiff named Slap Shot, in a double-wide outside of Faribault....

IRONMAN LOUISVILLE STUFF - After a very cursory peek at the IM Louisville results, we ran across these familiar Minnesota names: Gillian Auslander (4th 40-44W - 11:00:25 - IQ), Sarah Berger (11:32:19), Nikki Haas (11:55:58), Daryl Stevens (4th 65-69M - 14:20:04), Pam Stevens (3rd 55-59W - 13:08:07) and Amy Woolsey (12:09:18).
And former Minnesotan, Casey Richter, now of Denver, CO, totally rocked: 10:49:18 / 19th overall / 10th amateur female. Very cool!
MTN congratulates all the IMLOO participants and extends special love for those who reside in MN. Hey, if you just did Louisville, or know someone who did, use the ADD COMMENT feature at the bottom of this page to post names and results and anything you'd like to say.

Product Review...

My relationship with the LG Vorttice helmet is a bit of a love-hate scenario. I'm the first to admit I'm a sucker for any excuse to shave milli-seconds off my bike time.
