Do you remember Peter Skorseth? Handsome guy from pastoral Baldwin, Wisconsin. Looks a lot like a smilier version of actor Mark

Well, they both have blonde hair. We'll post pics of Ms. Larsen when they are available. Below - Two-time LBL champ Matt Payne.)
The totally cool and well-produced Land Between the Lakes Triathlon
is the first event on our state's annual multisport calendar that features a lake swim. The temps in Fountain Lake have been sub-bath-water-ish during the first five runnings of this race. This morning, however, the water was a quasi-balmy

Assigned the task of taking splits from the transition bike in and out affords a nice view of the race especially when your partner is doing all of the work (thanks Sarah Foley!).
As always this race brings out a stellar field and is fun to see who is on their game early in the year and what new multi-sporters are joining the fray and going to be the next big names on the scene.
Here are some very basic observations between the timing splits, it
