Tutti Frutti Replacements

As I posted about on Wednesday, my "Tutti Frutti" shorts are dying (most likely a water slide incident from last weekend). I posted a link to that blog post on the Steve in a Speedo Facebook page, and a friend jumped to the rescue:

It turns out that FunkyTrunks.com has some good options!

The "Joker."


The "Impressionista." Unrelated: how does one get those muscles that point
towards your fun parts? Clean eating a lots of training, you say? Oh, I'm out.


"Jungle Jagger"

So if you're interested, check out FunkyTrunks.com and come race along side of me in some bright shorts this summer! :)

Some of these people are lazy. Some are geniuses. I'll let you put them in those 2 categories yourself:

Living in Minne-snow-da, we're all guilty of SOME level of this. But this one's bad.




That seems like more work than just getting up.

Semi-Wordless Wednesday: The Tutti Frutti Shorts are DYING!

On Saturday, I noted that I wore my Tutti Frutti shorts to a waterpark. Well, my sister-in-law pointed out a hole in them as I was walking up the stairs in front of her.

Right near my crack.


Showing that skin can be seen through it.

I think I "burned" a hole in it from going down too many waterslides.

The good news is that in triathlons and duathlons, I wear tri shorts underneath these. So they're not TOTALLY done just yet...

I'M WORKING OUT AGAIN!

Yesterday, my wife went out for a long run, and I got ready for a quick bike ride once she got back. We both ended up in our bright tights:

So YES, I'm biking again! When I saw Dr. Folske for some A.R.T. (like a deep deep sometimes horribly painful massage) a week ago, he said that now with all of my rest, I NEEDED to try running again. So after not running for 3 weeks (and not doing any swimming or biking for 9 days), I WENT FOR A RUN LAST WEDNESDAY. My knee felt like I figured it would throughout (it hurt most of the time), but then the rest of the day, it felt better than it had felt for the last few weeks.

So February started with some rest, and the last week had 2 SHORT runs and my first outdoor ride of the year on my tri bike yesterday:

(My short ride told me 2 things: first, my neck isn't used to being in aero. When I'm on the trainer, I can look straight down and not crash into something. And second, I've got a LOT of work to do on the bike before multisport season in 2.5 months.)

Dr. Folske actually told me to NOT rest anymore and get right back into my old routine. He thinks he helped to break up some muscular issues, and now it NEEDS it's normal activity to stay healthy. (My lower quad on the inside just above my knee is still tight/sore, but now it's not "pulling" on my knee and hurting it anymore.) I'm not going to TRULY jump back in at "full speed" because I don't want to be dumb, but I'll try to bring back my normal workouts over the next week or 2 and see how that goes. Wish me luck!

Weekend Waterpark!

My in-laws treated the families of all their kids to a night at a hotel/waterpark in Owatonna, MN. (The Holiday Inn with the "Great Serengeti" waterpark inside.) Here are 6 quick pics from last night and this morning:

My wife and son after a fun ride down the slide.


Me and Henry!


Mama and Charlie!


LOOK AT MY WIFE IN HER HOT BIKINI!
(And oh yeah, I wore my Tutti Frutti shorts.)


Charlie figured out the secret to winning Skee Ball.


My in-laws with their 5 grandkids!

Thanks for the fun night, Bryan and Monica! As Henry was showering off before we had to leave a few hours ago, he was crying and saying "but I don't WANT to leave! It's too fun here!"
