ED. MTN has waited a very long time for for these race reports. We would have gotten pretty steamed if it were anyone other than Ang promising to file these articles. Why? "Cuz her stuff is always worth the wait. This incredibly long post is also incredibly cool and entertaining. Enjoy.

Race Previewettes - Just for grinzies, the MTN Guys are picking the podium finishers for the three triathlons on next weekend's Minnesota multisport calendar. The races are the 8th annual NEW BRI TRI (Saturday), the 10th BUFFALO TRIATHLON (Sunday) and PIGMAN SPRINT (Sunday.) Our picks are based solely on start lists that we reviewed last weekend. It is certainly possible, perhaps likely, that later registrants will claim top spots at New Bri and Buffalo. Pig Sprint filled long ago.
So here goes. Let's start with Saturday's race....

From The Ashes
By Suzie Fox (suz--news.blogspot.com)
Gear West Du Race Report - On April 27 I crashed my road bike and hit my throat really hard on the cockpit between the handlebars. I ended up with a severe injury to my trachea and my left foot didn't unclip right away, it caught a little and I tore my hip flexor. Then I ended up with a strained hamstring, groin, and adductor all on the same side as the hip flexor as a result of compensation just trying to walk and do the little non training things to get through the day like put pants on and get in and out of the car. I had been putting in solid 20-22 hour training weeks and just three weeks earlier on April 6 I did a 22.26 mile run, then suddenly my life had been reduced to not being able to pick up a dog poop or swallow food and water without pain, let alone run....

Gear West Du XXI - MTN contacted Suzie Fox after she won 21st edition of the Gear West Duathlon on Sunday. We asked if she was going to blog about her experience. This was her reply:
"It was muddier and swampier than ever which made it all the more fun! New course too. I will try to write something up in the next day or so. Wasn't sure that I would be okay to race but it worked out. Hope Albert Lea had better weather than we did." She followed this with another comment: "Really impressive race for Jared Smith, he's improved."
Smith (photo below) finished 4th against a Who's Who field. He placed 5th here in 2012. Guy's gettin' good....
