Last week I played Q & A with Devon Palmer, who like Minnesota Athlete of the Decade Cathy Yndestad, got her pro license in 2010. Now it's Cathy's turn to provide some "A"s for my "Q"s.

Cool Local Coverage...

trinonaNOTE: When we learned that the Winona Daily News covered Trinona's winning of the 2010 Triathletes Choice Race of the Year, we thought it would be totally cool to share their words with MTN's readers.

Every athlete has a certain look when they are in the zone. By zone, I mean the metaphysical space you can get to when you are playing with beauty, flow. Michael Jordan stuck his tongue out when making a critical basketball shot. Chrissie Wellington smiles as she rockets past the professional (women and men) triathlon field.

As Devon just wrapped up his first season as a professional triathlete, MTN thought that we would catch up with him to see how he thought his inaugural season went (and to chuckle a bit as Devon has a good sense of humor). Devon did not disappoint with his responses to the Q&A we posed to him.
