Lake Minnetonka Triathlon - Success

Today's Lake Minnetonka Triathlon couldn't have occurred on a better day. Racers were greeted by blue skies, comfortable temps, and a slight breeze. Congratulations to winner Brett Lovaas as well as the 450+ other participants.

We've written before, but we'll say again, that these active events bring a great crowd to Excelsior. Whether it is the 4th of July run, this triathlon, the Wells Fargo half marathon, or others, we welcome racers with open arms and open they make these races a regular destination on their summer circuit.

Lake Minnetonka Triathlon

The Lake Minnetonka Triathlon will kick off at 7:30am on Saturday morning. For those who haven't spectated before, it can be alot of fun to see polished athletes compete as well as first-timers complete their first triathlon.

The best place to watch is from the Excelsior Commons, as that is where the swim starts, ends, and all of the transitions take place. Final finishers will start crossing the finish line anytime after 8:45am, but there will be steady action to watch anytime from 7:30 to 10am or so.
