Here are some photos from last Saturday's MinneMan Triathlon. I was in my Johnny Cash mood so I was the Man in Black.

There's a killer hill on the run course at Cornman. I haven't done the race for several years, as it's always the same weekend as out Bicycle, Blues, and BBQ Festival (http://www.bicyclebluesbbq.com/) with crit and road races in Clear Lake. Transition is unusually at Cornman, too. Bikes are racked on each side of a long, curved hard surface path. Stop by Clear Lake on your way down Saturday afternoon and watch the crit. (http://www.clearlakeraceweekend.com/) Introduce yourself. I'll be wearing a red Cat 6 t-shirt.

Nice work at MinneMan. That's a pretty big field--400+.
Good luck in the Cornman--too bad they don't have you run thru a section of a corn maze. That could be a game-changer ;)
