NEWSY & NOTESY STUFF:
* The following records were broken at the 29th annual Apple Duathlon in Sartell last Saturday:
- DAN HEDGECOCK lowered the men's overall amateur record from 1:23:05 (Patrick Parish in 2010) to 1:21:31
- PAM STEVENS lowered Karen McKeachie's 55-59W mark (1:51:42 - 2009) by 12 seconds. Michigan's McKeachie, like Stevens, is one of American's all-time most decorated amateur females.
- MIKE COLAIZY's 1:40:52 lowered the 60-64M mark set by Californian Dennis Kasischke in '09 by a a hefty 1:29. Mike, who is extraordinarily cute for a man of his vintage, is not very tall as you can see from the photo (L), where he is bracketed by his bodyguards. Colaizy has a morbid fear of someone stealing his wine.
- BEN EWERS's 1:43:11 took a voracious 7:02 bite out of Bob Bailey's 65-69M best, set in 2009....

ED. - We received this letter from Kevin Derung a few days ago. It's pretty cool. FYI, Kevin is not the guy in the "Before & After" photo on the next page. We posted that shot because we thought it was cool. The "After Kevin" is the guy finishing Chisago Half (L) and standing in the ocean off the coast of Porta Vyarta (fonetic spelling), Mexico (below).
Hello MTN,
...... I love how the extreme pain in your lungs instantly disappears the minute you hand your chip in and how the plans for the next race reinvigorate your desire to get back to the grind of early morning training. There are not a lot of sports where you know you will never win yet you come back happier than last time. Many of us would love to race every weekend if we could afford the time commitment, but interestingly enough other things happen on Saturday and Sunday mornings outside of races? Our families love us aside the misunderstanding that we all love torture, and...
