Buff Stuff....

Race Preview - A record 1600 athletes have signed up for the 9th edition of the Buffalo Triathlon next Sunday. One of Minnesota's three largest tris, with Life Time-Minneapolis and Chisago Lakes, Tri Buff is the Crown Jewel of the terrific 10-race Tri Minnesota Series. (We couldn't resist the alliterative opportunity.) Not only is it three times the size of any of the other series races, it is also significantly more competitive. A sweet blend of small-town...

charm and big town production, the event has a mega-picnicky feel and a significant portion of the local community descends on Sturges Park on race morning to enjoy the festivities. From the standpoint of spectator volume, only Life Time-Minneapolis is better-attended.
