  • Comments: I am super happy with the way this turned out. I had knee surgery 8 months ago (ACL replacement). I thought not only was my fitness not back to where it was but that my knee just wasn't up to snuff. I've been only running 3 times a week (which is very little running for me) and my longest run preparing for this race was 5.8 miles. In February I was still on a run/walk plan for rehab of the knee surgery. I seriously could not be happier. Before the race I told my dad I'd do cartwheels if I beat my time from last years oly (which was before the knee injury and surgery) and somehow I managed to come in more than 1 minute faster. I passed on the cartwheels after the race but am VERY VERY happy. Looking forward to 2 more sprints this summer and possibly another olympic!

  • Comments: I need to not look at other peoples times in these races. I leave the race feeling like I've done a good job, made a ton of progress, etc. Then I see the standings and feel like an ass. I can decide to either just not care or only enter races full of newbies. At least this year I have a couple "easy" races thrown in to help my ego.

  • Comments: I thought this was a fantastic race. It was very well organized and all the courses were great. The field was very competitive since it was the MN USAT National Championship Age Group Qaulifier. I will for sure be back next year.
