Effervescent Triathlete...

"Langkos," a Greek name meaning "knowledgeful," is much easier to pronounce than "Schievelbein," a German deal meaning "boot leg". This is one of the reasons we were pleased when Linda Scheivelbein married Mr. Langkos two years ago. The main reason we were happy, of course, is that getting married made Linda, who is naturally happy and efferscent, even happier and efferescenter.

Linda smiles all the time. (We used to wonder if she was able to close her mouth.) We love that about her. We also love that she adores the Rolling Stones, boutique coffee and shopping at Kohls.

Linda is an outstanding triathlete. Though her AG--50-54W--is arguably the most talented female division in Minnesota right now, featuring such national class studdettes as Cheryl Zitur, Julia Weisbecker, Christel Kippenhan and the conspiculously absent Heidi Keller Miler, Ms. Langkos certainly, as they say, holds her own.

Check out some of her competitive highlights. Her 2015 season was especially outstanding....
