Piranha in Florida!

I only have two words - "Oh, SH*T!"

Remember, these are just the ones they found.  Do they make full-face wetsuits made out of chain mail?

Sharrows in Austin!

Austin is part of a Federal program to install sharrows in streets.

In a true mark of genius, they are not telling anybody what they are for to see if people can "figure it out". 

Logo Tattoo Contest? For Reals!

I announced on Twitter yesterday that anybody that gets the new ZenTri logo designed by Molly B. tattooed on their body will receive free coaching for a year.  I'll also throw in the option of getting the official ZenTri Podcast logo.  Here are the two image options:

Gusano (who has suffered a severe bike accident-related brain injury in the past) said that he would get the tattoo, but on the bottom of his foot.  Upon request, he also supplied us with this following highly-detailed graphic representation of how the ZenTri logo is both "epic" and can be used to "kick others n face."

 In yo Face! Ommm...

It is important to study the image to fully understand every facet of ways that having this free podcast logo on your body for the rest of your life can make you an amazing triathlete.  Two that I immediately picked up on:

1. More muscles.  You'll notice that the stick figure of Gusano is much more buff than the other.
2. Required triathlete elitism. Gusano even went out of his way to point out that the other person is not Gusano, while the one with the arrow and "Gusano" really is Gusano, should you have any doubts who is receiving the ass-kicking. Hint - it's not Gusano.

This offer is for real, btw.  I have to agree to the logo and the placement prior to getting it done.  AND you have to get somebody to take a video of the work being done so we can post it on youtube, along with the other class-act stuff we do.

This is Nasty

I wish I had taken a pic before I stirred it up.  

• Old Folgers decaf freeze dried crystals, so old that it's like chunky rocks.
• Too much stevia.
• Spoonful of macca root powder.

Take all that and mix it into a cup of water in the "nuker" (microwave) and you got something special.  And by special, I mean something that you spent time on, so you kinda have to drink it even though it tastes like leftover ass.
