While some of us were on vacation, others were busy racing. So, here we go with an attempt to catch up.
Congratulations to Mario Minelli who not only turned in an overall win and a PR of 17:02, but also invented his own new type of duathlon by riding 30 miles to and from the race!
One problem with winning a race you rode to... Hauling back a big crockery trophy!

The second in the Wisconsin Triple Crown bike ride series is in the books. Six members rode one step closer to their finisher's jerseys.

Lake Waconia is a longish sprint-distance tri with a 0.5 mile swim, 20 mile bike, and 4 mile run. This race tends to bring out a strong elite field and this year that trend continued. TriRochester's Alex Hooke placed second in the elite competition. His 10:39 swim, 46:18 bike, and 24:44 run gave him 6th, 2nd, and 10th best times respectively.
Big congratulations to Bill Nevala for completing his first Ironman. It was a tough day with 55-degree rough water kicking things off. Way to go Bill!
