* Pigman XX Notes - St. Paul's Dan Hedgecock won his third race of the year this morning at the 20th edition Pigman Sprint Triathlon. Sure, he was awesome in his victory at Gear West. And even awesomer in his record-setting effort at Apple.
Arguably, however, he turned in his awesomest performance to date at Little Pig, where he lowered the amateur course record by 28 seconds. Iowa's Patrick Davis and Circle Pines Patrick Parish, both of whom earned USAT Athlete of the Year Honorable Mentions in 2010, rounded out the men's podium. Seven-time Pigman Sprint champ Kevin O'Connor took fourth.
Former Rochesterite Joanna Hall finished 4th in the women's competition, her 1:15:39 was almost three minutes faster than her 2010 time, which landed her in 7th place. RESULTS

Twas Patzer's second consecutive multi win of 2011, and her first tri triumph.
Jill Ellenbecker grabbed the final women's podium spot.
In the men's competition, the battle for first appeared to unfold in much the same way the ladies' race did. It was a mano a mano between 2009 New Bri champ, Brendon O'Flanagan, and Kris Koepp, with the...
