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.
Christel's Challenge...

After the MMA Presentation at Gear West Bike & Triathlon on November 10, MOY nominee Christel Kippenhan suggested that a Masters Team Minnesota be created so that she could take home a commemorative poster like those on regular TM did.
What a cool idea! So, for giggles, two members of the MMA Selection Committee got together, drank Dunn Bros. coffee, and created a women's Masters Team Minnesota, albeit without a poster because posters cost money. The process was much harder than determining the overall TM roster. Eligible athletes needed to turn in at least three outstanding performances in 2012. The official MOY nominees, of course, filled the Top Four spots.
