MAPLE GROVE TRIATHLON PREVIEW - It's hard to believe that the Maple Grove Triathlon will celebrate its 9th anniversary tomorrow. But its true.

Those who have done this race know that it is awesome. It is well-attended and staged beautifully at a truly world class venue....

Unfortunately, we have not seen a registration list, so we are unable to make predictions. What we can do is share some competitive history, starting with a list of the men who have covered the current Olympic course (since 2015) in less than two hours, and the women who have broken 2:15, as well as the AG record holders.
