Going Off Course - Woodbury triathlete Kathy Newcomb used to "take it to the hole."
Huh?
In the 80s, the statuesque Ms. Newcomb, who had a different last name back then, played for the University of St. Thomas' high-flying women's basketball team. In addition to having a sweet jumper, Kathy also liked to drive to the basket, i.e. "taking it to the hole," where she often made the lay-up and got fouled in the process. She was a good free-throw shooter.
A gifted athlete (she also was on the Tommie's track and cross country teams), she was, however, even more gifted at academic stuff, thus she eschewed an WNBA career to become a teacher. For the past 21 years she's imparted her estimable pedagogical gifts to high school students in the Twin Cities metro area....

Ed. This story appeared on yahoo.news.com back in October. It's about a 100-year-old guy with a ZZ Top beard, a bitchin' yellow maharaja hat and a totally unpronounceable name who ran a marathon. How cool is that!

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.

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....
