Free Love. Free Swag. Affectionate Discounts (Week 2)
By Darin Wieneke
Be Mine. Kiss Me. You Rock. Sweet Pea. Cloud Nine. True Love. New England Confectionery Company (NECCO) has sold 8 billion candy hearts during the past 6 weeks with some of these great phrases. While MTN is not giving away the world's best selling Valentine's candy, we are giving away our love and great swag. This week's winners are....
Jon Fuerstenberg-K-Swiss gift pack. K-Swiss is quickly becoming the leader for great triathlon shoes and apparel (available at Gear West Ski & Run). In addition to producing great products, they are also a great sponsor of triathlon and MTN.

Hi MTN,
Ok - here it goes: I was invited as one of four women to model in the 2011 Triathlete Magazine swimsuit issue coming out this summer. On March 1, I have the honor of traveling to Kona, HI for the photo shoot and unbelievably thrilled to be able to represent MN. I'm very humbled by this opportunity to represent fit women athletes and excited to see the new TRI swim fashions!....

Going Off Course - There is sooooo much to admire about St. Paul triathlete Jon Pearce (photo L). He's an ontrayprenewer (phonetic spelling), humanist, a CEO and founder of a cool and totally important enterprise, he speaks Russian and can read Cyrillic letters (see alphabet below) and he "almost" has an MBA. Not bad for a guy who is barely 30 and used to wash cars at Thrifty.
Guys like Jon need to procreate, though he has yet to do so. Get busy, Jon. The world needs more clever, well-traveled, accomplished folks with altruistic tendencies.
Jon Pearce is also a lactose-intolerant carnivore who is in rehab attempting to conquer his addiction to Peanut Butter Oreos. He loves "Borat" and guava-flavored stuff and sometimes eats borscht (photo below) on purpose....
