RochesterFest Triathlon - The 5th edition of this annual classic was contested this morning under sunny skies with temps in the 70s. Nice. Lots of cool stuff happened that we are anxious to tell you about. But we'll do that on Tuesday 'cuz we're kinda torpid right now. Besides, it's Father's Day. Have you called your dad yet? Here are today's RESULTS.
High Cliff Sprint - MTN congratulates Rochester's Ann Moyer on her win at the High Cliff Sprint in Sherwood, Wisconsin, on Saturday. Her margin of victory over Plymouth, Wisconsin runner-up Brenda Schwaller was exactly one minute. Fellow Tri-Rochester guy, Peter Somers, was the fastest Minnesotan at the High Cliff Half, placing 19th overall in 4:48 and change. RESULTS

Liberty Olympic Coverage - In MTN's ongoing quest to remind its readers that triathletes are also people, here is some compelling personal info on the Top 5 male and female finishers at the 8th annual Liberty Olympic Triathlon last Saturday, a totally good event:
FAST GUYS:
1. David Holden - 1:53:32 - Dave's a quiet guy. His wife is more outgoing than he is. His Liberty win was his 9th since 2006.
2. Andy Schiesl - 1:54:52 - His last name appears to be unfinished, but it isn't. He had a breakout season in 2011 and appears to be even faster this year.
3. Scott Penticoff - 1:55:36 - Scotty is a wonderful guy with a very small waist. He has a beautiful wife that he married when they were 12. The couple has two daughters who are above average in every way....

The temperature reached into the mid-90s on Sunday, June 10 during the Trinona Triathlon in Winona, MN. The International Distance (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run) had 300 individual participants with another 30 teams, and the Sprint Distance (1/4 mile swim, 11 mile bike, 5K run) had 350 individuals and 22 teams.
In the Sprint race, Brian Sames (Shakopee) took the win with a strong run, finishing in 54:02. Sames passed Benjamin Trnka (St. Paul) to win by 22 seconds. Trnka placed second, and Jim Felling (River Falls) was about another minute behind in 3rd.
On the female side in the Sprint race, Diana Koepp (Rochester) used a speedy swim to take the win in 1:02:04. Koepp's swim was the 2nd...

Liberty Half Coverage - We hadn't seen Sean Kaneski (photo L) in almost a "Coon's Age." Though we don't know what a coon's age is exactly, we suspect that any Coon's Age worth it's salt (What does "worth it's salt" mean, anyway? We digress.) needs to be at least a decade. The last time we saw Sean was when he placed 13th overall (3rd in his AG) at Ironman Wisconsin. He popped a 9:46 that day. Nice. That was in 2003, nine years ago. Almost a Coon's Age.
One would expect that a person who hadn't been seen in almost a coon's age would have undergone some physical changes. Not total disfigurement, necessarily, but still some alterations that would be hard to miss. Hair or tooth loss, weight gain, varicosities, wearing clothes more suitable for the golf course than...Once again, we digress.
Sean hadn't changed all that much. He is still a handsome, dark-haired guy who is not burdened by tallness. And his thighs still ...
