Race Coverage

Michelle Andres is a Silly Goose....

(Gear West Du Photo - Silly goose, Michelle Andres doing that T2 thing. Probably a Denny Johnson pic. Or perhaps a Sarah Stenzel shot.)

Liberty Triathlon - Dan Arlandson popped a 4:13:22 this morning at the 5th annual Liberty Half in the bucolic western suburbs of the Twin Cities. His closest challenger, the insanely likable Todd Landgraff, crossed fourteen minutes later. Chicago-based Austrian, Edward (pronounced "Ed-Vard") Gadient, filled out the guy's Top 3. He is probably very likable, too.

The ever-amazing and totally tan and ripped Jan Guenther was the first woman to cross the finish line. It appeared that she had just won her fifth half IM since turning 40 in 2000. Her time was 4:57:05. A moment later Michelle Andres finished in an apparent 4:58.

But not so!
