(Cool Photo of Claire - We recommend that Boots and Laura Swartz have a "Smile Off" after Sunday's YWCA Women's Tri.)
Race Preview - The YWCA Women's Triathlon, a glorious demonstration of the Y's slogan: "The Power to Soar," will celebrate it's 5th birthday next Sunday at Lake Nokomis. More than 1000 women will participate.
Though newbies and recreational athletes are the event's Biggest, Brightest Stars, we have not seen an entire list of participants. If we had, we would, in keeping with the tri's focus, have selected some of those folks to write about here. We would have raided their FB pages and given you a peek into their lives, ...
A Bichian Milestone....

LAKEFRONT DAYS - Andy Schiesl won the Lakesfront Days Triathlon this morning. It was the fourth consecutive year that he has done so. The women's title went to elite runner / 2004 Minnesota Rookie of the Year nominee, Joyce Bourassa (pronounced "Borsa"). Andy and Joyce are really, really nice people, as are most, if not all, of the event's 280 finishers.
FYI, Andy likes Lady Gaga and has at least one adorable child (photo L). RESULTS
