Ironman 70.3 Pays D Aix Race Recap...(Ed. This is a terrific story! Thanks for sharing, Ruther! We miss you.)
By Ruth Brennan Morrey
I capped off my race season with my first ever Ironman 70.3 branded race at Pays D Aix in Provence, France on September 23rd. My family moved to Oxford, England at the end of August, and my hope was to tee-up my 2013 season with a qualification to the Ironman 70.3 World championship in Las Vegas. Moving a household across the Atlantic, getting situated with three young children, and being generally disoriented in a new environment, resulted in what I call the

On September 29, 2010 Minnesota Triathlete of the Year Patrick Parish competed in his first F1 style triathlon. It was called the Super Frog Triathlon, obviously named after the beloved amphibious superhero, and we don't know the exact format. The experience was educational, and PP freely admits that he got totally smoked.
The next day, though, Parish did the Super Frog Half IM, his 70.3 debut, and this time he was the one who smoked the competition. Racing in the Elite Wave, Patrick finished 4th overall and was the first male finisher who didn't actually hold a pro license. You may have heard of the trio of ....

Ironman Wisconsin Race Report - I spent the majority of 2012 training and racing short course tris and dus and realizing how much I love short all out red line racing. Several people have suggested that I step away from triathlon and explore the steps to try to get into pro cycling and I was dreaming about duathlon nationals and have been curious where triathlon age group nationals would relocate, many short course only plans for 2013 formed in my head throughout the entire season....

PR or ER (aka 70.3 World Championship Epic Fail Report)
By Matthew Payne
This got really long. Here's the Cliff's Notes version for people who either don't have the time to read the next several thousand words or who just don't like me that much (both completely understandable):
* Go to Vegas for 70.3 Worlds
* Gamble a bit and play a ton of pinball in the days before the race
* Race day: Swim well, bike OK, attempt to suicide myself on the run
* DNF to med tent, ambulance ride to ER, overnight hospital stay
* Doctors run some tests, tell me I may have a serious heart condition...

Stuff About One Last Tri - MTN already posted partial results for One Last Tri, which took place back on September 16. The event endured a major timing snafu, for which the service provider later explained his situation and apologized profusely for the problems, and though results have finally been generated, it's still not clear whether they are trustworthy.
While race organizers are totally bummed, fearing that many of their participants left the event with frowny faces and negative reviews, the actual vibe at the event wasn't an unhappy one. Quite the opposite. It appeared that most of the entrants enjoyed the experience and and understood that, "these things happen occasionally."...
