If we could, the MTN Guys would give special Christmas gifts to all of the multisport athletes in our state, and for the last several years we have revealed the presents we would give to members of Team Minnesota if we were solvent enough to do so.

We are so not solvent enough to do that.

Yesterday, we posted the gifts that we won't be giving to the men of Team Minnesota. Here are the gifts we won't we be giving to the Team Minnesota women:

GABY BUNTEN – After looking at the “Likes” on Gaby's FB page, we want to give her tickets to a Drake concert and a European shopping spree with Kendall Jenner.
KORTNEY HAAG – We can't really give gifts, we can only reveal what we'd like to give. For Kort, we'd like for time to slow down so her kids don't grow up too fast. We'd like to postpone the onset of Empty Nest Syndrome as long as possible....

Dear Santa,

I am on the MMA selection committee and I really want my job to be easier, next season when selecting the top 10 female and male athletes. Please bring me these things this Christmas (as well as that damn wetsuit you keep promising will make me swim faster)

I give credit to athletes who sign up for tough, competitive races. I DGAS about a 10 win season, where it's all local races and the team Minnesota athlete signs up late after the MNTRINEWS update about how, "we are still waiting to see if any of our state's top athletes will sign up"

Here is when I know you are serious about trying to nab the top spots ...

Yoga is a Good Thing...

Thinking about trying yoga for the first time? The winter months are the perfect time to extend out of your comfort zone, and you’ll be rewarded for your efforts. The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga author Sage Rountree shares five reasons to give it a try.

Flexibility

You probably think of yoga as primarily stretching—or even contortionism. Indeed, flexibility is a big part of contemporary Western yoga. Practicing the postures will stretch tight muscles and encourage use of your full range of motion. Tight muscles are more prone to acute injury, in the form of muscle strains and tears. Loosening up those tight spots will not only help prevent such injury, it will help prevent repetitive-use injuries by allowing the body to move smoothly during your training. Stretching moves you through your natural range of motion, which is lost if it is not used regularly....
