Timberman Coverage - Brendon O'Flanagan and Suzy Fox are obscenely attractive people. And we're not just talkin' looks here. Those guys--androgynous usage--are as nice and as cool as they are physically perfect. (Photo on P. 2)
In case you didn't know, Brendon and Suzy are doing that Boyfriend/Girlfriend thing. Can you imagine what would happen if their relationship devolves into marriage? Their children would be above-average in every way.
Their kids, which would probably have cute names like Chip and Sophie, would be doomed to becoming awesome triathletes. Maybe even awesomer than their parents, whose last demonstration of their respective awesomeness took place at the 29th Timberman Olympic-ish Triathlon (approximate distances: 1200m - 25ish miles - 6 miles) last Saturday. In that annual classic Suzy dominated the women's race, winning by a margin of nearly five minutes. The W was her fourth of the season and 15th of her stellar career....

LAKE WACONIA RACE REPORT (marcusstromberg.com - July 8, 2013)
By Marcus Stromberg
Pre-Race:
As I reviewed my Race Schedule after the Best of the US Championships and heading into this race, my coach and I determined that in order to make the improvements I was hoping for this season, I was going to have to train through this one. Obviously, I wanted to be able to race as well as I could but this meant that I may not be as rested as I normally am going into a race. We had a number of harder bike and run sessions scheduled in the week leading up to the race but I was still feeling pretty good and was excited to be racing against some really great talent. Scheduled to be on the starting line was David Thompson (Minnesota

If you've been racing in Minnesota this spring you probably have a little more hair on your chest now because the weather has been TOUGH. Lots of rain, clouds, cold and wind. Last weekend Claire and I drove down to La Crosse, WI and stayed with Claire's sister Sarah before racing at Trinona. We had a fun road trip even though we were both shivering cold by the time awards was over. Dave Schutz puts on the race and really delivers on the experience. Winona is his hometown so he's personally invested in the race and it shows. There are even podium girls to give out the awards. I was second to Thompson, which I was happy with and managed to barely win the King of the Mountain bluff climb again....

I am a fan of Ironman racing. Coverage varies race by race but there is always someone I am rooting for at these events. Usually with domestic races I know a few of the pros and there are a few local athletes to check up on. Even if all the coverage available is sporadic updates and tweets from people who are at the race I pay attention. I
