snake St. Paul Triathlon Coverage - "Ninety-seven bottles of Smirnoff on the wall...97 bottles of vodka," vodka the woman with the strawberry blond hair sang with a theatrical slur. The other four women she was running with along the southeastern shoreline of Lake Phalen were laughing. The finish line of the 5th annual St. Paul Triathlon was just minutes away but for these girls, the party had begun long ago. They were celebrating life. It was a beautiful day; warm, but not too warm; sultry, ...
