COLT PREVIEW - It's not like we're mad at Angie Hop (photo L), or anything. Sure, she promised to write a story about how Minnesotans did at Leadman Epic-125 - Tempe last month and totally didn't, though she sent us a photo (below) of the notes she made when she was flying home from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (Terminal #3).
Though we love Ang to pieces, we believe that she deserves to be punished. That's why we posted the shot of her with a totally real Billy-Ray-Cyrus mullet (L).
And that's why we are not going to pick her to repeat as champion at her hometown race this weekend. The race: The 12th annual Chain of Lakes Triathlon in Alexandria, the one in Minnesota, not the one in Egypt....

Race Preview -The 6th annual Cinco Du Mayo Long Course Du (5K - 20M - 5K) and its companion event, the 4th annual CDM Short Course Du (2M-10M-2M), will be staged at Square Lake on May 4. Its enrollment ceiling is 350 and has filled the last two years. There are spots available and we encourage you to act quickly.
Cinco Du Mayo is a great event in a great place produced by great folks with great amenities (Tacos!). If you haven't already knocked off your winter rust, we suggest that you do this groovy event. We recommend it even if you are rustless.
Based on the limited results in our possession, here is some historical stuff about the Cinco Du Mayo Dus: ...

Tri 4 Grace - Elite River Falls triathlete and totally cool guy, Jim Felling, sent us some info on a tri in his town. The event is tomorrow and we hope that the "spur-of-the-moment" guys and gals out there choose to give this event a chance.

ATTENTION: In today's MTN e-Blast we erroneously claimed that the Take the Hill Triathlon was slated for April 28. It will actually occur on May 4. We deserved to be punished.
Race Preview - The 5th annual Falls Duathlon will happen on Saturday, April 27 and the MTN Guys wholehearted encourage those who haven't registered yet to do so at their earliest opportunity. It's a great event with great amenities and an excellent opportunity to knock some rust off before the multisport season is up-an-running in earnest....

Clermont Draft Legal Challenge - Yesterday we posted a Q & A with Claire Bootsma, who will kick off her 2013 multi season at the Clermont (FL) Draft Legal Challenge next Saturday. Her Geniment, Dan Hedgecock will also be racing in "The Land of 15,000 Sinkholes" this weekend. We had some questions for him. Here are his pithy answers:
MTN - Do you feel fit and ready for the DL challenge?
Hedge - I'm looking forward to the DL challenge. I'm very fit right now and look forward to seeing if I can keep up with a bunch of younger guys for an hour.
MTN - How's your health? Injury free? Is anything in you life getting in the way of doing your best on March 9?
Hedge - Last April I started to really focus on resolving any imbalances and tight areas I had. I don't think I've ever been this injury free in my career. It feels fantastic....
