CROIXATHLON VII - The vibe was all skallywaggy and buccaneery on Saturday at the Croixathlon. The race direction team (photo L) were dressed up like Long John Silver's scurvy aunt and many of the participants wore eye patches or bandanas or hooks or other fun piratey stuff.

RochesterFest Coverage - It's true that some preggers women actually glow. These girls radiate happiness and contentment, which makes them beautiful to look at and be around, even though their bellybuttons poke out in a sorta disturbing way.
We know that this pregnantic glowage phenonmenon (PGP) is real because we witnessed it firsthand at RochesterFest last Sunday. The PGP girl in question is Kyla Blazek, who is due in two weeks and is as big as a Volkswagon.

FYI, we doubt that she'll race next week, but who knows, maybe she will....

And then came Brooks Grossinger.
"Which one of these guys is gonna win," a guy asked spectating Ross Weinzierl, who was wearing really cool cargo pants.
"Brooks. No doubt." Ross' words carried no hint of equivocation....

RochesterFest Triathlon - The 5th edition of this annual classic was contested this morning under sunny skies with temps in the 70s. Nice. Lots of cool stuff happened that we are anxious to tell you about. But we'll do that on Tuesday 'cuz we're kinda torpid right now. Besides, it's Father's Day. Have you called your dad yet? Here are today's RESULTS.
High Cliff Sprint - MTN congratulates Rochester's Ann Moyer on her win at the High Cliff Sprint in Sherwood, Wisconsin, on Saturday.

Fellow Tri-Rochester guy, Peter Somers, was the fastest Minnesotan at the High Cliff Half, placing 19th overall in 4:48 and change. RESULTS
