G-Man & T-Man...UPDATES & FYIs...

Race Previewettes - We wrote long previews for today's Timberman (International and Sprint events) and Graniteman that were lost in cyberspace for reasons that the author is too darn stupid to understand. He is royally steamed even though it was probably his fault, and doesn't have time to recreate the 1000+ word post.

Instead he will simply post the MTN Guys' podium picks for the three races. We'll start with G-Man, because they advertise on MTN.

GRANITEMAN XIII - MEN - 1. Steve Sander, 2. Nate Hoffman, 3. Ross Weinzierl.

T-MAN SPRINT - MEN - 1. Tim Andrew, 2. Phil Imholte, 3. Cash Langeness (we don't know if Cash is a fast triathlete or not, but are picking him here because we love his cool name.) WOMEN - 1. Tara Makinen, 2. Jena Ogston, 3. Amy Klosterman.
