Lifetime Fitness Triathlon-July 12^th, 2008

This past weekend, I competed in my second LTF Triathlon in Minneapolis, MN.  The last time I competed in this race, it was the famous Equalizer Triathlon, when the men competed against the women, and the first to cross the line, earned a bonus check.

Hy-Vee World Cup

The Hy-Vee World Cup continued without a hitch after the race location had to be moved from down town Des Moines to West Des Monies.  Much of Iowa had experienced catastrophic flooding and many of the bacteria levels in most lakes and rivers were too high for safe swimming.  A few days prior to the race, the streets of down town Des Moines were flooded and Grays Lake (the original swim location) was still flooded in the days of our departure.  I wish the state of Iowa and the city of Des Moines all the best in their recovery.
