The purpose of Minnesota Tri News is to prosaically celebrate our vibrant multisport culture. As far as we're concerned, our dynamic and innovative scene is second to none, setting national standards in the areas of competition, community building, event and venue quality, and practitioner resources.
And speaking of resources, in a few days MTN will officially announce the establishment of a Minnesota-based system of programs that will have a revolutionary impact on the endurance lifestyle in our state. Cutting edge and first-of-a-kind, it will ultimately serve as the prototype for similarly revolutionizing national and international programs. Life is about to get even better for triathletes--and duathletes, runners, swimmers, cyclists et al--here in Minnesota and everywhere else.
We can't wait to bring you the great news!

Isn't it cute? It's a fetus. It started as a zygote, then became a blastocyst, then an embryo. And now, it's a card-carrying fetus. Is that cool, or what?
This 12-week old humanoid fetus / future triathlete resides in a lovely uterine condo, which is owned and operated by Maria Vu Wieneke, wife of MTN's Darin Wieneke, a recent escapee from Alcatraz.
An official name has yet to be selected--we recommend Charlemagne for a boy or Murgatroid, if it's a girl. For the time being, he/she is referred to as Peanut Wieneke
