LIFE TIME INDOOR TRI - MAPLE GROVE - This indoor event had 44 finishers and was won by 18-year-old Nick Klonne and Lara Rampetsreiter, who has a passle of kids. Nick is one of the young guys that the MMA Selectors have their collective eyes on. Though he didn't receive a Junior of the Year nomination in 2014, he came dang close to doing so. Will 2015 be his year for such recognition?
Perhaps.
We visited Nick's Facebook page and learned some cool stuff about him. He has an awesome haircut and a Phillip Phillips beard (photo L). We think he went to a prom last year, but we're not sure. He has eclectic musical taste, which includes Hip Hop, Miley Cyrus and Death Cab for Cutie. Have you heard Death Cab's CD "Something About Airplanes"? It's rather awesome.
Nick also likes war movies and watches Tosh.O on Comedy Central....
As for Lara (photo R), she's a veteran road racer and outdoor triathlete. She has a luminous smile, an Orbea bike, four adorable daughters and a dog who appears to be a member of the Spaniel family, probably a Brittany. Race announcers rarely pronounce her name correctly. So you know, it's "ram-pets-right-ter." We think the accent is on the third syllable. Because she is in her mid 40s, though she doesn't look it, we assume that she likes 80s music. If this is true, you'll probably find CDs by The Police ("Every Breath You Take") and the J. Geils Band ("Centerfold") in her house or car. We also suspect that she used to watch "One Day at a Time" and "Three's Company" on TV.
Doesn't Valerie Bertinelli look great for her age? Can you believe she's 54?
