The outdoor season is almost upon us. This is the time of year that the MTN Guys like to predict stuff, like who is going to totally rock. Here are a few athletes that we think will kick serious butt in 2014:
OLIVIA BAGNALL (photo) - We truly believe that this girl is special. Runner-up for Rookie of the Year in 2013, she won two races in course record time. Ranked 11th last year, we expect her to make Team MN this time around.
DENNIS DANE - Dennis is what we call a "lapsed" star. After four years --2006 to 2009--of impressive performances, Dane dropped out of sight. It had something to do with having babies and starting his own business. He returned to racing in 2012 and his results were good, albeit not quite the stuff that leads to placement on Team Minnesota. Last year, though, he...

Exiting the open water is an often overlooked part of the transition from swim to bike. Many seconds can be gained and lost, so technique and planning are important. Sara McLarty thinks about the swim exit in 6 steps:

Step 2: Activate your legs. Kick a little extra during the last 200 meters of the swim....

Hey MTN Guys,
I know you asked for an updateies over a month ago, so apologies, but you asked about cool things we've been up to and I wanted to be able to include some fun things about my recent travels. After the season ended last year I "took it easy" for a few weeks but got back into a good training routine fairly quickly. I've done a few masters swim meets this winter, which are pretty low key compared to any sort of...

According to the "Likes" section of her Facebook page, Duluth tri-studdette JULIE HENDRICKSON is into Bud Light and Stouffer's frozen entrees.
Who isn't?
From the photo section of her FB page we learned that she has an awesome body and can do stuff most people can't, like that thing she's doing in the photo (L). What is that?
We also learned that she has a friend named Jill (photo below R).
Julie Hendrickson is married to a guy named Mike, who is also named Hendrickson, and is an accomplished triathlete, too. Mike and Julie got married back in 2000, when Mike was like 12 and Julie was like 10. We don't know if the couple has any pets, but we hope they do.....
