Smooth Headed Paragon of Patience...

mealGoing Off Course - Are we what we eat? If so, what about bulimics? What are they?

We digress.

Minneapolis triathlete / Engineer / former bathroom cleaner / head-shaver Chris Hawes sent us the photo of some stuff he likes to eat (photo L). If he is what he eats, what does that make him? And what is that stuff? He calls it "German Meal." Huh? (Admit it. It looks scary and totally yummy at the same time.)

Ten Fingers. Ten Toes...

famDecorated triathlete Steve Sander and his lovely wife Kelly are now parents. Their initial offspring has been named averyAvery. Cool name! On Sunday, Steve provided these photos and words:

Kelly had a tough first trimester with all day sickness but certainly got the benefit of a very quick delivery. Kelly was only in labor for about twelve hours and only had to push for about an hour.
