Great Stuff About Waseca...

Waseca, Minnesota, home of the Waseca 1/3 Iron & Sprint triathlons, is a wonderfully quaint community.
It promulgates its "Old World" charm via the steadfast resistance to all forms of modernization. It's fire department (photo), for instance, looks much the same today as it did in the Lincoln era. Sure, departmental response time is unimpressive and an inordinate number of local homes and businesses have burned down over the decades, not to mention the fact that the streets (cobblestone, of course) are terminally littered with horsey poop, but such is a small price to pay for pastoral charisma.
Continuing the yesteryearish theme, Waseca doesn't have a mayor or city council (but it does have an old fashioned butterfly net-wielding dog catcher!)...

How long ago, you ask?
We're not sure but it was during an era when men wore automotive air filters around their necks. Don't believe us? Check out the painting of the sartorially resplendent Goose-Toff (phonetic spelling). What else could that thing be?
As everyone here in Minnesota, especially Mora and Lindstrom, knows, Swedish Pancakes are the nummiest pancakes in the entire world.....

WARNING! Much of what you are about to read is made up. The rest is pure drivel.
There will be many tight and interesting battles in the AGs at this Sunday's Chisago Lakes Sprint Triathlon. But none will be more interesting than the duel that will take place in the women's 55-59 category.
Why?
Because the top two contenders are very evenly matched.
