OptumHealth Performance Indoor Tri #1 - A research study at a semi-prestigious community college in Nickeragwah (phonetic spelling), wherein nine people were interviewed, proved conclusively that ONLY COOL PEOPLE BECOME TRIATHLETES.
Truer gibberish was never spoken, and the findings of that groundbreaking study were echoed loudly on Sunday at the inaugural Optumhealth Performance Indoor Tri, which launched the 2012 OHP Indoor Series. Only cool people were there.
Like who, you ask?
* Well, let's start with Trisha, 15, from Prior Lake, who is as cute as a button. She rides a Cervelo, which means that her parents are doing okay financially. Lately, she's been bugging her mom, who is very, very...

Hey MTN Guys
Sam Janicki won stage 1 of the Winter Racing Series, beating out a whole gaggle of Canadians. He pushed an incredible 322 watts through the 37 minutes it took him to complete the course. Alex Barrette, 16, a local young up-and-comer (Houlton, WI), took 3rd in the sprint points.
By the way, we've added a Sunday afternoon heat due to demand. Series Info LINK

ED. Have any of you met Jason? You'd remember him if you had. He's not only a great looking guy and one of the coolest dudes you'll ever meet, he's also seven or eight feet tall. This guy is seriously vertical!.....

Ed. You many have already read this cool interview of Lance Armstrong, who has sorta returned to triathlon after a 22-year absence. But if you didn't, check it out here. As you know, Lance, who used to be Cheryl Crow's Main Squeeze (and who brushes his teeth almost every day --photo L), is a major stud. What you may not have known, though, is that Minnesota triathlete, Angie Hop, has a debiliating crush on him.

Before he was a bicycling legend or a high-profile cancer crusader, Lance Armstrong was one hell of a triathlete. A pro at 16, he was a top-ranked junior for a few years before he became singularly focused on the bike. More than two decades later, Armstrong, now 40, recently...

After two weekends of bad luck in September I was eager to race well. I picked Ironman Florida over Arizona as it is 2 weeks earlier so there was less chance of having to train in cold weather. Plus

ED. Here is some of the cool local coverage that Rochester triathlete, Ruth Brennan Morrey, received after she won the ITU Long Distance World Championship on November 5. Brennan Morrey took home the 2011 Minnesota Rookie of the Year award last Saturday.

Ruth Brennan Morrey was a very good soccer player at Rochester Mayo, so good, in fact, that she earned a scholarship to play at the University of Wisconsin.
She played four years with the Badgers and as a senior, was named captain.
Upon graduation, she shifted gears and decided to focus on running

END-Tombed
By Bonnie Tirenubbles
The tent was frozen solid, the door flap actually crackling as I pushed it open and crawled hunched over out onto the frozen ground. I tried to straighten my knotted-up back as music suddenly blared out over a loud speaker from beyond the trees, shattering the morning air. Earlier, at 2:30am to be exact, my fellow Zombie Rider and husband and I had been talking about the race from within our tent-igloo.
