IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - How will Minnesotans fare in Kona next Saturday? We can't wait to find out. Like you, we're sure, we'll be following the race closely.
Here are some of the Loon State triathletes we will be following:
- MICHELLE ANDRES (photo below L) - Minnesota'a all-time fastest Ironwoman, she set her PR--9:50:23--at Kona in 2013. She received the "Performance of the Year" award for that effort. The MMA Committee will not announce their POY nominees until after Ironman because we hope that Michelle, who has won two POYs for IM performances, will rock another POY-worthy effort on the Big Island.

MINNESOTA MULTISPORT AWARDS - Today we reveal the official nominees for DUATHLETE OF THE YEAR. This category differs from the others in that athletes are only required to have TWO outstanding performances in order to receive consideration. This is due largely to the fact that Du Nationals was relocated from St. Paul to Bend, Oregon. As a result, very few of Minnesota's elite duathletes raced in more than two run-bike-run events.
Here, in alpha order, are the nominees:
- WADE CRUSER, 29, Sauk Rapids (photo)
2016 Highlights:
- 1st @ Cinco Du Mayo Long Course
- 1st @ Oakdale Duathlon - 1:02:07 (Outstanding time in unaccommodating weather conditions)
- 3rd @ Apple Duathlon...

Team Valhalla Racing was the top American team at ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championships but did not finish the race as strong as they started. After emerging from the first and longest swim of the day in the lead, Minnesota-based pro triathlete David Thompson and Slowtwitch’s Lars Finanger matched the pace set by the eventual winners, Lelle Moberg and Daniel Hansson, and the runners-up, Paul Krochak and Oscar Olsson, if only for the first few hours of racing....
Happy? Yes. Satisfied? No...

IRONMAN WISCONSIN RACE REPORT - Ironman Wisconsin 2016 was the culmination of many things personal for me. Back in 2006 at only 28 years old my competitive running days were over. I had a badly herniated disk, severe nerve damage down my right leg and surgery in an attempt to reduce some of the damage. To this day I have nerve issues in my right leg and atrophy in my right calf. I continued to dabble in running a bit because it was in my blood. Any other endurance sport just didn’t seem appealing. I had run competitively since middle school, through college and didn’t know anything else. My run career highlights are 9:33 steeplechase, 1:15 half marathon, 16:13 road 5K.
During the summer of 2011 my wife Amy who was also an injured runner decided to dabble in triathlon. She got us ...
