COLT Preview - The Chain of Lakes Triathlon, aka "COLT," is about to launch into it's second decade on Saturday. Cool, huh!
That's right, this will be the 11th edition of the annual Tri Minnesota Series kick-off event. The weather on May 5 in "Alex," short for Alexandria, is expected to be breezy with highs in the mid-60s. The UV index should be "5" and the moon on the evening before the race should be "Waxing Gibbous," whatever the hell that means. Temps should be in the low 50s at the start, and as they say here in Minnesota, "you could do a lot worse."
For those of you who haven't done this fine event before, it consists of a 600 yard pool swim at Discovery Middle School, followed by a 13 mile bike ride in the rolling hinterlands, and concluding with a 2.8 mile run on paved trails and residential streets....
It's a Party!

TAKE THE HILL TRIATHLON Coverage - Paul Mollett's post race celebrations typically feature a thick, rare steak and 8-10 Mickey's Big Mouths. Interestingly, this behavior is not restricted to just his satisfying performances. He celebrates all of his racing efforts, the good, the bad and the unattractive, in this carnivo-alcoholic way. Paul believes that racing is in-and-of-itself a "good thing," even when one's performances suck.
Last Saturday at the Take the Hill Triathlon in soggy, chilly St. Peter, Paul recorded his first career multisport victory, a hard-fought, totally non-sucky result that placed him only nine seconds in front of runner-up Ryan Welle. Exuberant, though he is rarely not exuberant, Paul drove back to Chaska immediately after the race with images of scorched bovine flesh and hops and grain playing on all the screens in his
