Going Off Course - Greg Albrecht's co-favorite movie (with "Casablanca") is "Forrest Gump." The handsome triathlete / multisport coach / Executive Recruiter / Scarlett Johanson fetish-guy claims to "identify" with the fictitious character, who was brilliantly portrayed by Tom Hanks.
Why?

The MTN Guys encourage Minnesota's multisporters to submit commentary on their Off Season "cultural experiences."
Huh?
We'd like you to send us a review of a movie you've seen recently; or of the book you've just finished; or the new restaurant you went to yesterday; or the concert you attended with your stoner friends last weekend. Stuff like that.
FYI, Greta Simpson promised to send us a review of "Conviction." And Angie Hop has threatened to send us something, too.
Today, we are posting a mini-review of a movie that St. Paul duathlete, Milt Potinger, watched by himself yesterday. (Milt doesn't have many friends.)....

Today we share what we wished we could have given the girls' Team members.
1. Claire Bootsma - Claire is a terrific cook. Therefore we'd like to give her a Gourmet Kitchen, complete with stuff like Ginsu Knives, Vego-Matics and appliances from Warner's Stellian. We plan to renovate the kitchen in Claire's apartment when she and Dan are in Norway attending the World Mustache Competition. We hope the new kitchen will look like the one in the photo (L)....

MTN made Team Minnesota posters and gave them to those who made this year's team. They were tastefully non-ostentacious, which is another way of saying that they weren't expensive.
Okay. They were cheap.
If we could have afforded it, though, we would have given every member of the Team a lavish gift; something they would treasure for many weeks.
Like what, you ask?
Here's what we wish we could have done for the guys:
