Race Stuff - Minnesota women rocked socks last weekend. 2012 Minnesota Triathlete and Duathlete of the Year, Ruth Brennan Morrey, raced in her first pro contest yesterday, the British Elite National Duathlon Championships. Ruther is currently living in England, you know.T'was her first pro race and she finished a stellar 3rd overall. The winner was Vanessa Raw (photo below R), a total hottie from Loughborough (she is a model, we think?), which, fortuitously enough, is in England, and has a long history of ITU success in Europe. Runner-up was 2012 British Olympic triathlete Lucy Hall, who rides a black Felt bike and enjoys bangers and mash, which is an English deal.

That Ruthie-BM rocked with the aforementioned girls demonstrates that she is arguably America's premier female pro duathlete. Remember, duathlon is taken seriously in the UK and throughout Europe and their athletes have dominated ours for the last decade....

Fueled by Determination

I came across this story the other day while looking for something totally unrelated. My mother in-law wrote it just months before passing away in September 2004. It is a story about her son and the accident he had when driving home from Furman University in 1990.

A young man headed home from college one Saturday afternoon when the driver side of his jeep was struck by a pickup driven by an elderly man who had run a stop sign. It killed the elderly man instantly. The jeep was shoved several feet off the highway into the yard of a home. It then flipped over and caught on fire. The young man was unconscious and seat belted with his feet surrounded by and in a blaze of fire. Mr. Bob Broadrick, from LaFayette, Ga., was traveling by just after the accident occurred. Mr. Broadrick did not think of himself. He stopped,...
