Sleep is a wonderful thing. It lets us recharge and wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to tackle another adventure. Or does it?
Your body needs sleep. But many of you are not getting enough of it. A recent review of insufficient sleep data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 35 percent of adults are not getting enough sleep.

Going Off Course - Have you met Inver Grove Heights triathlete Julie Feldman? She's lovely. She's also one of those people that, when you see her for the first time, you ask yourself, "Who does she remind me of?"
The reason for this is that she is a doppelganger. Not professionally, of course, though she probably could be if she wanted to. (Stand-ins and stunt doubles are pro doppelgangers, right?)
If you've read Stephen King books, you know what a doppelganger is. If you haven't, you probably think that it is a brand of .....

Simple steps for evaluating your progress and planning for 2016.
By Jesse Thomas (triathlon.competitor.com)
In March 2011, I went to my first triathlon camp with coach Matt Dixon of Purplepatch Fitness and was assigned a shared room with Sami Inkinen. I didn’t know much about Sami other than he was very fast (I’d raced him a few times as an age-grouper), very handsome (his remarkably always perfect hairdo was the target of far too many of Matt’s jokes) and apparently very smart (he had a Stanford MBA and had recently co-founded some real estate website named “Stevia” or something)....

MINNESOTA RUNNER OF THE YEAR - MTN got an email from Judy Rykken a few days ago. Do you know her? She's a 77-year-old triathlete with a perpetual smile and an effervescent personality. She's awesome. Here is a portion of her note:
Good evening!
I wasn’t sure if you knew that Nicole Cueno (YWCA Women's Tri Director - Photo) was named Minnesota Runner of the Year 2015. She is only the third person in the history of the award to have won the overall title as well as the 35-39 age group. Just google Minnesota R of the Y 2015 to get stats and more information. Awards will be presented at Braemar Golf Course on February 6 at 5 p.m. Again you can find all the info by checking Google. Because Nicole is a superb triathlete as well as incredible runner, I thought you could mention this achievement in MN Tri.
Thanks for listening – see you next summer!
Judy Rykken
Thanks, Judy! And congratulations Nicole! ....
