Fall into a Healthier Diet: Five Easy Steps
By Jess Kolko (AthleticFoodie.com)
With each new season I always think about small changes that I want to make in my life and diet. I feel that too often people want, and try, to make large, sweeping changes. Big changes tend to work only in the short term. Making small easy changes is the way to affect diet in the long term. Here are my top five tips for making little changes that add up to a big difference in the long term.

Yesterday, USA Triathlon announced their 2012 Duathletes of the Year and Honorable Mentions, and Minnesota athletes were prominent among the award recipients. Dan Hedgecock, runner-up for USAT Triathlete of the Year, was named US Elite Duathlete of the Year, and Patrick Parish won the amateur DOY title. Both guys won hands-down. Also in the mix were Ruth Brennan Morrey, who followed up her AOY HM with a DOY HM, and Matthew Payne, who also was named DOY HM. We feel Ruther was robbed, but we understand and respect the Selection Committee's overriding rationale.
Here are all the DOY and HM recipients and some random commentary:

I noticed the red ribbon beckoning to make a sudden sharp left and turned hard to stay the course. The world tipped right and the earth rose up to meet me with a crushing thud.
Breaks squealed behind me as the man in the blue jeans did an endo in his effort to keep from rolling over the top of my fallen carcass. I jumped up and heaved my bike to an upright position.

I am very excited to announce the Gold Guys are a sponsor for 2013. The Gold Guys themselves, Shane and Joe, built their business right here in Minnesota and have grown nationwide. Their success since opening the first store at the Mall of America in 2008 is a reflection of their commitment to their customers.
As a sponsored athlete it is my job to represent the Gold Guys in an attention grabbing way. This is where you can help. I need ideas for how I can bring gold into the picture at my races. I am challenging all Minnesota triathletes to come up with ideas and submit them to me over Twitter. Twitter, if you don
