Hey MTN Guys
Sam Janicki won stage 1 of the Winter Racing Series, beating out a whole gaggle of Canadians. He pushed an incredible 322 watts through the 37 minutes it took him to complete the course. Alex Barrette, 16, a local young up-and-comer (Houlton, WI), took 3rd in the sprint points.
By the way, we've added a Sunday afternoon heat due to demand. Series Info LINK

ED. Have any of you met Jason? You'd remember him if you had. He's not only a great looking guy and one of the coolest dudes you'll ever meet, he's also seven or eight feet tall. This guy is seriously vertical!.....

Ed. You many have already read this cool interview of Lance Armstrong, who has sorta returned to triathlon after a 22-year absence. But if you didn't, check it out here. As you know, Lance, who used to be Cheryl Crow's Main Squeeze (and who brushes his teeth almost every day --photo L), is a major stud. What you may not have known, though, is that Minnesota triathlete, Angie Hop, has a debiliating crush on him.

Before he was a bicycling legend or a high-profile cancer crusader, Lance Armstrong was one hell of a triathlete. A pro at 16, he was a top-ranked junior for a few years before he became singularly focused on the bike. More than two decades later, Armstrong, now 40, recently...

ED. In addition to Astrology, Erika is also into Head-Bump-ology (we forget the official name of that one!), Plant Perception and a host of other totally cool pseudosciences.

The new year brings all sorts of exciting things, including setting goals and making plans. But how much easier would it be to set those goals/make those plans if you had some insight from the stars? Before you get too far ahead of yourselves, here are your 2012 triathloscopes*.

WARNING: This post may contain slight exaggerations.

Going Off Course - Handsome, cool dude, River Falls Triathlete / Livestock management guy, Jim Felling, has had more girlfriends than Wilt Chamberlain. The fact that he has never been married, however, is not because he prefers to be a single, swinging playboy bachelor guy; or that he has serious commitment issues.
In truth, he yearns--that's right! He actually yearns!--for a soul mate, one with whom he can settle down, raise a passel of little Fellings, and achieve a transcendent state of domestic Nirvana-ish bliss.
But Jim has yet to find that perfect girl, one who is totally hot AND knows how to properly load a dishwasher. And while Jim has dated a plethora of hotties, none of them possessed adequate dishwasher loading skills and, therefore, had to be dumped. For Jim Felling, aka "The Dishwasher Nazi," not scraping egg yolk off a breakfast....

Did you hope to get into the Northwoods Triathlon this year? We hope not. It's already full.
Yup, for the second straight, consecutive, back-to-back year in a row, the Nevis-based Tri Minnesota Series race has filled faster than its 80+ Minnesota multisport counterparts. Way to go, Northwoods! Guess this means that you'll never advertise on MTN, huh?...
