Race Coverage - We totally like the way the YWCA of Minneapolis Indoor Tri Series (Fall, Winter and Spring races) score their events. Not only do they post a participant's time and splits, they also post a comparison of those times with the times the athlete turned in at prior series races. For instance, check out Samanthalyn Trapp's improvement:
FYI, Samanthalyn (photo L) went to Vegas recently and had a wonderful time. She stayed at the Luxor.
The Y's Spring event was contested last Sunday and 68 athletes participated, one of whom was Tom Couillard of White Bear Lake. Tom is 62, which means that as a young man he listened to Frank Sinatra records and spread "oleo" on his toast in the morning. Tom was 3:32 faster on Sunday than he was at the Winter Indoor.
More Race Coverage - Forty-one athletes finished the Life Time-Eden Prairie Indoor Tri last Sunday. The fastest guy was Andy Wiberg, who is a fan of Scott Weiland and Usain Bolt, and managed to nip Rick Nordvold by a single point. Rick is an extremely handsome guy who doesn't shave often and owns a really cool 
cabin he calls the "Hogshead Hilton."
The fastest woman was Jennifer Mortale (photo L), who likes and looks great in Sugoi Performance Apparel. She currently has 272 Facebook friends and she looks kind of like Reese Witherspoon, which is a really good thing. A transplanted Iowan, Jennifer's outdoor multisport highlights include a 10th at One Last Tri and an 11th at Iron Girl last year.
Finishing 2nd for the women last Sunday was Liza Meredith. Liza has visited numerous exotic places, including Gooseberry Falls.
