POWERMAN ZOFINGEN - The awesomest performance of the weekend by a Minnesotan was turned in by Rochester’s first-year pro Ruth Brennan Morrey, who podiumed at the World Long Distance Duathlon Championships in Zofingen, Switzerand on Sunday. Considered the most difficult run-bike-run on the planet, Ruther entered T2 in 9th place, slightly more than 20 minutes behind leader and eventual winner Eve Nystrom of Sweden. Nystom was also victorious here in 2012.

SQUARE LAKE XIV - Dennis Dane and Heather Lendway repeated as champions at yesterday’s Square Lake Short Course Triathlon. The perennially smiling Dane matched strides with his handsome, Croc-wearing four-year-old son, Ryan, on the final straightway and finished in a time―1:23:33--that was 54 seconds faster than last year. In the 14-year history of the race, only Patrick Parish (1:22:03 in 2010) and Neil Miller (1:22:19 in 2007) have gone faster.

The MSU Spring Tri was contested on September 1. Twenty-nine athletes started the event and 25 finished. What we find to be most cool about the results is that we don’t know ANYONE on the list, except runner-up Matt Busch, who we don’t know personally but are aware of because he won the very first tri he did, which was the MSU Spring Tri, we think. We also know that Matt is a good guy because Chris Crocker, who we trust implicitly, told us that he is. Matt turned in the day’s fastest bike and run splits.

Sometime during my post-race endorphin high, I wrote to MTN to tell them I’d do a race report for the St. Croix Valley Sprint Triathlon. I was feeling really good about my race and about the triathlon world in general. I just wanted to tell everyone about it. So along with a brief race report, I’m going to rant about the positivity of triathlon. Here goes.
First, I should introduce myself. You might recognize my last name, as I’m the older sister of the reigning age-group national champion, Heather Lendway. And, as much as I’d love to be the overly proud older sister and brag about all of her accomplishments, I don’t think that’s what this is supposed to be

Race dates are ingrained in our mind. We know that Chisago Lakes triathlon is the last weekend in July, the Chicago marathon and the Ironman World Championship is the second week in October, and the Boston marathon is always on Patriots Day. If we know those dates, even without our own participation, then we must surely have the organizational skills and adequate handheld calendars to know when our own races are drawing near. If this is so, then why do we need online race “ticker” time bombs on race websites that serve no purpose but create undue anxiety and unnecessary freak-outs? Days suddenly vanish, denial sets in, and we begin to doubt the accuracy of these evil numbers. Why does it always seem that the ticker is one day off too? They should be banished forever. Enough! Anyway…. there are 4 days, 17 hours, and 3 minutes, and 28 seconds until my “A” race of the season: ITU Long Course Duathlon World Championship (Powerman Zofingen), in Zofingen, Switzerland on September 8th. ...
