Trinona Battle for the bluffs (Page 2)

That might help.  Just having a crappy day.  J is in surgery right now and I'm stuck at work. 

Bike incident at Buffalo.  Details in the race report.  2 broken bones in his left hand.  I'm out of here to go sit in the waiting room.  Much fun.

That does suck! Hope recovery goes well. I do not have to do the hill but I did drive up it on Sunday when I was down there. Its a big one! I will be signing up for the Olympic next year I think.

In case anyone still doesn't have accommodations for Sat night in Winona I have an extra room at St. Marys College. Each room rental comes with 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each. Also a shared bathroom and kitchen area. Its $85 for the whole thing. I'll split it with someone. Either way I'd rather give my money to the University than a hotel and I can ride my bike down in the early morning so I don't have to look for parking. Its 2-3 miles away from the start point(I think).

If anyone else is staying there and wants to ride down from St Marys together lemme know.  

I'll be down there doing the swim part of a relay with my two college buddies that have never done a tri before, so should be a good time.  It would be fun to do that olympic there and to have the climb and decent as part of the ride, maybe next year.  I'll am actually heading down there tomrorrow morning to do some golf with the boys and to check out the swim and bike course.  Hope they have that picker going full force.  If i remember that "lake" is shallow and weedy!
