BEST OF MINNESOTA TRIATHLONS: RUN COURSES

By Darin Wieneke

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba! Yii-hah! Animated cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzalez would love the courses nominated for the best triathlon run course in Minnesota. Several of them are ridiculously fast throughout. The others have ridiculously fast finishing stretches. I have a feeling that Speedy Gonzalez would be impressed with the speed of the racers if he was a spectator at these races and you would likely hear him utter one of his favorite sayings, especially when Patrick Parish, Jenny Wilcox or Dan Hedgecock whistled by: Holy frijoles! That thing runs faster than me!...
