North Mankato Triathlon XV - Former Mankato guy, Matt Payne, and Waukesha Wisconsin's Molly Woodford, who has a teenage brother named Brad who is super fast, too, couldn't have been more impressive this morning if they had stood on their respective heads and tooted the "Star Spangled Banner" in unison.

Okay, that would have been really impressive.

We digress.

Payne's 18th career W and Woodford's repeat victory here were commanding and convincing and imperious. In other words, they each won by a lot. Greg Taylor, 58, was amazing, too, especially his hilariously captivating monologue at the awards ....

ceremony. The day was pretty to look at, but temps and the dew point made for rather tropical racing conditions.

Photos and Chris Crocker's words will appear on Tuesday. RESULTS
