Du Win #14 for Scudiero...

Sunday, 18 September 2016 23:10

FALL CLASSIC DUATHLON - The 9th edition of this "rescued" (By Derek Lindstrom at Excelsior Running, an awesome guy and successful running and multisport coach) event was staged at Lake Elmo Park Reserve yesterday. The star of the show, in our opinion, was JENN SCUDIERO, who placed 3rd overall and finished 13:04 ahead of the 2nd-pacing woman.

The victory was 14th of Scudiero's duathlon career. She is a former US Duathlete of the Year (2013) and overall (2013) and AG (2014, 2015, 2016) National Champion.

Jenn also won this race in 2014.

Winning for the men was 41-year-old Duluthian JUSTIN CUMMINS (photo), who podiumed in his AG and placed 21st overall at Sprint Du Nationals in Bend, Oregon on June 25. He kicked off the 2016 season with a 4th place (1st AG) finish at Cinco Du Mayo Long Course....

He also has very short hair and a great smile. He looks much younger than 41.

The du, aka "The Race that almost didn't happen," had 94 finishers. For us, he best relay name was "Achey Breaky Parts." It was comprised of three fast dudes who are all AARP members with at least one guy on Medicare. RESULTS

ED. One Last Tri coverage will post tomorrow.
