Interview - Scott Penticoff is not just a great athlete, he's one of the coolest and most honorable guys we know. He also owns a lot of great shirts. He's returning to the multi scene after taking 2011 off to concentrate on other things. Recently we had the chance to discuss important stuff with him, like philanthropy and ketchup and parenthood.
MTN - You concentrated on ultra-running and philanthropy in 2011. What did you set out to accomplish in those areas? And did you satisfy your goals?

Hey MTN Guys,
Howdy. Just wanted to feed you a few nuggets ..... Trinona is working with TRIA and Gear West to offer a TRIATHLON 101 Clinic on March 31. It is FREE but folks must RSVP, as space is limited. It takes place at TRIA Othopaedic in Bloomington from 9:00am to 12:30pm on Saturday, March 31. There will be a lot of great content for any newbies interested in learning more about the sport - and walking away with a few door prizes....

Sara Sampsell-Jones is Pretty Darn Cool...

Wednesday, 29 February 2012 02:00
Sara Sampsell-Jones is a lawyer and a former scrappy little point guard at Edina HS and later, albeit briefly, at Dartmouth. She still has several college sweatshirts and she wears them often, albeit one at a time. Her husband Ted, who went to Yale and thus refuses to wear his wife's sweatshirts, is really, really fixated, albeit not in a sick way, on women's basketball, especially on the collegiate level, though he's really into the WNBA, too, and was totally stoked when Maya Moore signed with the Lynx. Since 2002, Ted and Sara have co-authored "Women's Hoops Blog" (LINK) which features a totally cool cutline: "Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better." It is arguably the most read women's basketball blog in the U.S. (Ted and Sara have since turned over the Blog's editorial reins to people who have more time to devote to the site.)
How cool is all that!
Because she's not real tall, Sara can't dunk. But don't underestimate her. She's quick and her crossover dribble is deft and blurry-fast. She can take you to the hole in a blink. She prefers Caribou (Breakfast Blend) to Dunn Bros., pancakes over French toast and Ricky Rubio over Steve Nash. She doesn't play hoops as much as she used to. That lawyering thing gets in the way, as does the fact that she is raising one or two excrutiatingly cute children....
