* 6th ANNUAL FAIRMONT TRIATHLONS - Saturday's lightly-attended Fairmont Olympic Triathlon was won by Jonathan Sage Martinson and Heather McCleery. Jonathon is an extremely handsome guy who really likes the nearly budgetless unfinished indi sci-fi film, "Project London." How arsty-fartsy is that! We watched a Youtube clip. It was kinda cool. We were unable to dig up any stuff on Heather, but we suspect that she is a totally cool person.
Fairmont's companion Sprint Triathlon boasted almost 100 individual finishers and was won by Lucas DeWitt and repeat champion Stephanie Peterson, who was nominated for Minnesota Rookie of the Year in 2011. Steph (photo L) grew up in Fairmont and is arguably the nicest person ever to come out of that bucolic southern Minnesota community. FAIRMONT RESULTS
* 3rd ANNUAL EU CLAIRE TRIATHLON - Minnesotans rocked socks on Sunday at the Eau Claire Triathlon, which was appropriately staged in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. "Eau Claire" is a French deal, meaning "Clear Waters." A pair of Minnesota's ...

David Thompson and Hannah Sullivan are expecting their first child any minute now. Heck, he may already be born and we just haven't gotten the news yet.
He?
Yup. The couple is expecting a boy. They may not have wanted to know the baby's gender but the ultrasound guy probably spilled the beans, i.e. the frank and beans, when he wanded over the fetus' junk, thereby televising that unmistakeable feature for the parents to see whether they wanted to or not.
Babies need names and the MTN Guys want to help DKT and Hannah select just the right moniker for their new or impending son. We think they should name him after...

Race Coverage - Marcus Stromberg was awesome on Sunday at the Buffalo Triathlon. So were Suzie Fox and Ben Trnka and Jennifer Imsande and Jamie Heying and Ann Snuggerud and a plethora of others who had this one important thing in common: none of them won. Not outright, that is. Other folks--Chris Legh (Olympic pro champ), Patrick Parish (Olympic amateur champ), Cathy Yndestad (Olympic women's champ) and Cindy Blackstock (Sprint women's champ) did that.
But the other mentioned folks here had every right to feel victorious. All of them had breakout performances and now demand elevated respect from their tri-peers....
It Was Pretty Good...
