MTN made Team Minnesota posters and gave them to those who made this year's team. They were tastefully non-ostentacious, which is another way of saying that they weren't expensive.
Okay. They were cheap.
If we could have afforded it, though, we would have given every member of the Team a lavish gift; something they would treasure for many weeks.
Like what, you ask?
Here's what we wish we could have done for the guys:

Going Off Course - Cirriform exhaust clouds spewed from the tailpipe of the parked 1977 Audi 80 and the interior windows were fogged with impatient human respiration.
"What's that alluring scent you're wearing," the panting horndog gasped into Cheryl Bauer's 17-year-old ear.
"Original Recipe and Extra Crispy," the totally hot, fragrant teen replied breathlessly.
It wasn't just a scent, though. It was bigger than that. An aroma perhaps? Nah. Bigger. It was a full-blown, room-filling odor.
The hormonal youth, whose name was either Chip or Skipper (he was from Wayzata), could no longer control himself. He commenced to licking Cheryl's face hungrily, like a golden retriever lapping water from a toilet. Firmly believing that face-licking is inappropriate on a first date, Cheryl pushed the boy away and admonished him with an indignant tsk.
Cheryl, who married a guy named Mr. Zitur in the 80s (a few years after she dumped Chip; or was is Skipper?), now has several teenagers of her own, none of whom have, like their mom, worked at KFC. Sure, they like to eat the Colonel's fare (who except Cheryl, doesn't?), but mom expressly forbade them to work...

Going Off Course - Ever go to the Olive Garden intent on scarfing down at least 30 of the Never Ending Pasta Bowl combinations, but by the time your alfredoed angel hair arrives you've hoovered 67 breadsticks? You then leave the restaurant ten minutes later in a state of crushing despair for having just spent

What do 5K runs and sheep herding have in common? We don't know, but if we think of something, we'll let you know.
And what do 5K runs and sheep herding have in common with triathlon?
Well, occasional road racing can be a vital component of off season training. As for the sheep herding thing, we can't think of anything that it has in common with triathlon. ONce again, if we think of something, though, we'll let you know....
