LAKEFRONT DAYS - Andy Schiesl won the Lakesfront Days Triathlon this morning. It was the fourth consecutive year that he has done so. The women's title went to elite runner / 2004 Minnesota Rookie of the Year nominee, Joyce Bourassa (pronounced "Borsa"). Andy and Joyce are really, really nice people, as are most, if not all, of the event's 280 finishers.

FYI, Andy likes Lady Gaga and has at least one adorable child (photo L). RESULTS

MINNESWASKA TRIATHLON X - Sartell's Jesse Westrup and Wayzata's Megan Erlandson parlayed very fast run splits into overall victories at the 10th edition Minnewaska Triathlon in Glenwood this morning. For Westrup, it was his 2nd straight victory... here. Megan is a former collegiate pole vaulter (photo below) and has read the Harry Potter books and sometimes listens to Coldplay on her iPod.

Last year's women's champ, Angie Hop, who is a HOOT and planned to visit her dad in Alexandria after the race, placed 2nd today and promises to write a race report that MTN will post on Tuesday. RESULTS
