Both the Anoka County Park Board and the Lake George Conservation Club have both treated the swim course for weeds. They have been killed back quite a bit already, and it improves every day. The park personnel will also be out at the lake on Thursday with a weed cutting device to cut a swath through the more dense areas. Hopefully this will do the trick and will be better than last year. Otherwise, looks like good weather for race day.

We are looking for volunteers to help us out on race day. There are all sorts of jobs to be done. Things like: transition area, finish line, aid station, timing, and more. There are perks to being a volunteer too: special up front parking for all volunteers, lots of free food (bagels, cream cheese, OJ, coffee, and more before the race and more goodies after), nice MinneMan volunteer shirts (all volunteers get techincal shirts this year), and the satisfaction of knowing that you helped put on a great race. If you are going to be at the race with a family member or friend, let me know and I'll put you someplace where you can see them during the race and catch them at the finish line.
If you're interested, please send an e-mail to
