You guys are pretty dang awesome… you know that, right?

This post is going to be short and sweet because I have only ONE item to bring to you today, but first I want to say a big THANK YOU for all the comments on my New Bri Tri Race Report from last weekend! Every time I have to hit “approve” to a comment, I can’t help the CHEESIN’ that spreads over my face, because it means a reader is coming out of the dark and introducing themselves. That, or I’m being spammed with the cheapest Viagra pills out there on the net… which does not bring said cheesin (aka ). Anyways, THANKS, thanks a lot!

[Hahah.. I just deleted two paragraphs. I said I have one thing to say today... no tangents dangit!!]

So I bring to you: One Thing.

GRIP. YOUR. WORLD.

Several emails had appeared in my inbox over the last month or so… and truthfully I just deleted them at first. I get plenty of spam saying “Your email ID have won £950.000.00 in our contest. Please send name, address, telephone number. Thank you.” No… thank you, because not only did I just win 950,000.00 British pounds (roughly the equivalent of 1386430.00 US dollars), but I can save all that money on my grammar lessons because I finally know the difference between have and had. :/ So, right.. these emails. I eventually read them, and found out I have not won more British money. It turns out they just wanted to let me (and you!) in on a little big SWEET contest going on…

The folks at Vibram are holding a Grip Your World contest and giveaway. When you hear Vibrams, you might automatically think FiveFingers, and “all that barefoot bidness.” At least I did. Being that I have not personally used the FiveFingers before, I told the rep that I wasn’t sure I was comfortable advertising a company and a product I hadn’t tried before. It turns out though, I have used Vibrams. Vibram isn’t just the name behind FiveFingers… they’ve been making soles for footware companies for over 70 years, for trail running, climbing, and even traditional running shoes. After hearing that, and reading the contest deets, I felt like this was something I wanted to share!
