andyRANDOM LOVE FOR MINNESOTA TRIATHLETES

ANDY SCHIESL is a talented triathlete and a very cool guy with blonde hair and straight teeth. He studied business stuff at the "Harvard of the Southwest." That's right. Arizona State University, where the mantra of its 60,000 tan, sparsely-clad students is "Study! Study! Study!"

Andy, who likes Lady Gaga, Oprah (no kidding!) and Emily (his wife), returned to Tempe last November, where he competed admirably in Ironman Arizona. The result was a personal best 9:35:59. Way to go, dude!

Schiesl's 2011 tri-resume was outstanding, his best season ever. It featured this 3rd career victory at his hometown race, the Lakefront Days Triathlon. His time there was a course record 59:37, which took down the mark that Brett Lovaas (pronounced "Lah-vus," not "Love Ass," as Stephen Bullard insists) set in 2008, by 22 seconds, while lowering his own PR on the Prior Lake course by 1:39. Cool beans.

Other impressive efforts were turned in at TriStar 111 (3rd amateur / 9th overall), and RochesterFest Olympic (9th overall).

VERONICA BOND is from Rochester, has black hair and is a very good triathlete. As you can see in her photo, she takes really good care of her eyebrows and probably visits a dentist at least twice a year. We suspect that she works in the medical industry 'cuz everyone else in Rochester seems to. MTN has been aware of her tri results for the past two seasons and it is clear to us that while she may be somewhat unheralded, it is not because she is undeserving. Check out her 2011 Highlights:
