NOTE: In our tireless quest to find cool stories, MTN recently stumbled upon this article on a topic that deeply concerns triathletes everywhere: Was Hitler a vegetarian or not? Michael Bluejay "proves" that he was not. Whew! We're glad that's settled.

* Before we see the evidence that Hitler wasn't a vegetarian, it's important to look at where the argument that he was comes from, because it's an argument that's rarely made honestly. People who insist that Hitler was a vegetarian usually just "heard it" somewhere, and immediately assumed it was true. And yet, if you tell them that Hitler wasn't actually a vegetarian, these same people who instantly believed in Hitler's vegetarianism without question, suddenly demand all manner of proof that he was not....

Triathlon.competitor.com recently posted their "Top 10 Triathlon Moments of 2010." We stumbled upon this when we were scouring the Internets for cool things to purloin. Before that we found the Gary Larson cartoon displayed here, which made us laugh until the onset of urinary crisis.
But we digress.
The tri website feature was all about pro stuff, of course, but it motivated the damp-trowsered MTN staff, actually we have a "Stafflette," since there are only three of us (not counting a bevy of occasional contributors), to think about the Minnesota's Top 10 Triathlon Moments of 2010. In no particular order, here are four of the coolest things, in our most humble opinions, that happened last season...

Triathlete Profile - Here's some stuff about Sara Hermanson-Phillips, 33 or 34, who may or may not still live in Andover. She raced in her first triathlon in 2007. She entered three events that season, a very respectable 13th at Minneman was her competitive highlight. Since then she has raced in at least a

WARNING! There's a really gross picture of a girl playing the "See Food" game on the next page.
Going Off Course - Katie Weaver does not chew with her mouth open. If she did, her boyfriend Mark Evenson would dump her. Sure, she may dabble with open-mouth mastication when Mark's not around, but we suspect that she doesn't. She knows that just one slip in his presence would end an otherwise beautiful relationship.
Triathlete / former ditch digger / bad 'stache grower Mark Evenson is really a totally cool guy in spite of his inflexible position on open mouth chewing. A man of varied eccentricities, Mark almost always wears two shirts at the same time, has a double-pierced left ear, has a 'thing" for demonically possessed defunct cars, is passionate about pug riding (what is that?), worships the articulate matricidal infant Stewie Griffin and lives in a corn field.
Otherwise he's a pretty normal guy....
