Graniteman - Clearwater Preview - The MTN Guys enjoy making predictions. Typically, we predict winners and overall podium finishers. When we glanced at the G-Man - Clearwater start list, though, we got totally excited about the AG battles, and there are going to be some doozies.
So, we are going to bypass the overall predictions, i.e. we are not going to reveal that we think that Dennis Dane and Jamie Heying will win, and predict instead the winners of the non-open-class Age Groups. If 50% of our picks are correct, we are going to celebrate with a two liter bottle of Diet Pepsi and a Hawaiian pizza from Red's Savoy. If we get less than 50% right, we'll get some stuff from Leann Chin.
Win win....

A note from STEVE EDMONDSON
This message is for MTN:
Hi Guys, I don't know if you remember me, I was the 600 LB man you did an article on. I have
been maintaining around 220 Lbs, and had my summer schedule set. 3 days before Buffalo, my left knee locked up. So on June 11th,
I had total knee replacement on both knees that was 3 weeks ago. Today I did an 8 mile bike ride on my new knees. My knees felt the
best they have in 37 years..I had my first chunk of cartilage taken out in 1976. The new knees they gave me are called Stryker...

By Angela Caprigno (usatriathlon.org)
If you are considering a triathlon this season, please note that adjustments to your approach on nutrition and hydration are just as important as adjustments to your workout regimen. No different than your favorite auto in the driveway, if you want your body to go further it requires more fuel
