Season Finale
By Devon Palmer (palmertri.wordpress.com)
Posted on October 31, 2012
The 2012 season is over. Here are all the important events that have occurred since August:
-Rev3 Maine: Wonderful trip, really nice place for a race. Not a dazzling performance. Dropped in the swim, rode ok, rough run. Was humbled to see a true bike monster in action, I rode a mediocre 56 and Conrad Stoltz crushed a 52! Consolation: lobster.
-Mustache Relay: put together an all star cast of mustachioed athletes for a relay at the St Croix Olympic. We won. It was fun. I rode 55:11 on a super, super dicey course. There will be several of relay opportunities in 2013 so keep a few of your weekends open....

SWEET POTATO PIE - A yummy, almost healthy dessert to compliment your Thanksgiving dinner. The MTN Guys hope you appreciate and thoroughly enjoy the blessings of this special holiday. Also, if you want to offset some of the calories, we encourage you to enter one of the many turkey trots on Thursday morning. We recommend "Fast Before the Feast" (WEBSITE) because it's a cool event that advertises on MTN.
Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch pie
1 (1 pound) sweet potato
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs....

FAST TIMES IN TEMPE - Pie-loving Pam Nielsen (photo) and Andy Schiesl, who probably likes pie, too, were two of the Minnesotans who PRed their buns off at Ironman Arizona last Sunday. Pammy's awesome 10:15:53 was one of the Top 5 IM times ever by a Minnesota woman. Not only that, it was almost 22 minutes faster than her previous 140.6 best, set on the same course in 2008. Placing 6th overall among female amateurs and 2nd in her AG by a slim 1:42, Pam was rewarded for her excellence with a Kona slot. Cool beans.
Andy's brisk time was 9:33:53, which sliced 2:06 from his year-old PB, also set on this course.
Here's how the Minnesota Iron-Rock Stars fared: Tonja Beckman - 13:23:49, Mike Buenting - 10:05:25, Joe Conlin - 12:09:59, Mark Crowson - 11:41:12, Lori Dixon - 12:56:19, Cory Grasser - 12:33:56, Andy Gunsaullis - 12:17:41, Scott Hagemeier - 13:52:19, Anthony Hirschman - 9:55:40, Angel Hohenstein - 13:07:25, Brian Kelly - 11:53:09, Peter Laskewicz - 13:15:00, Brian Logue - 13:35:24, Mark Loken - 15:12:44, Jon Moynihan - 10:24:28, Pam Nielsen - 10:15:53, Chris Potenza - 12:47:10, Merilee Sander - 11:51:11, Andy Schiesl - 9:33:53, Scott Tollefson - 11:52:41.
