Tasty Giveaway!! ONLY this weekend!!

First, a quick update on an old giveaway: Remember the "Tales of a Virgin Athlete" Contest that I hosted a few months back? The top 3 vote getters won a bunch of Drymax Socks. Mike won the contest with his inspirational story, and soon this photo appeared on his Facebook page:

I just heard back from Gabriel, the second place winner. He lives in South America, so there were some shipping (and then some customs) problems. But, earlier this week, he just sent me this great photo:

Enjoy the socks!!!


- - Now, on to the current giveaway!! - -

Who wants some Monkey? I’ve been a fan of the “Monkey Shake” for a while now. It's a homemade recovery / meal replacement drink from Chris at 10:10 Wellness. It contains rolled oats, whey protein, chia seeds, and RenewPro (another kind of whey protein). Click here to read all about it on the 10:10 site.

You can mix it with other things to make it more delicious. Here’s my personal set-up that I shared with you all a few weeks back:

Milk, frozen berries, a few ice cubes, and a naner (yes, a “naner”) go into the blender, and the Monkey Shake gets sprinkled on top:

What results is hearty and delicious:

I like to have a good Monkey after a hard workout to “kick start” muscle repair. These photos are from when I made a Monkey Shake after my last Olympic Distance triathlon. I usually make it with berries, sometimes I use a banana, and one time I made it with fresh-squeezed OJ from my grandparents, and that was GREAT!

If you don't want to wait to see if you've won, you can purchase your own Monkey. Here's my recent shipment, and at 2 servings per baggie, that's a LOT of Monkey:

So a "giveaway" is good news, but this is even BETTER news: If you use the coupon code "steveinaspeedo" (without the quotes), you'll get 25% off ANYTHING that you get from 10:10 Wellness - clothing, Monkey, anything!! So check out 10:10 Wellness.

Giveaway Rules:

• Comment on this post to get your name in the hat to win some Monkey Shake. Comment once anytime before 6 am Central Time on Monday morning.

• You must be from the US or Canada. (Or have someone in the US or Canada that I can send this to.)

• I'll draw 2 winners at random, and I'll post the winners ASAP on Monday morning (probably around 9 am Central Time). Each winner will win 10 baggies (20 servings) of Monkey Shake! That's a $45.00 value for each winner!

• If you're not a blogger, you can still comment, saying something like "Hey, this is John Doe from Detroit. Give me Monkey!" But if that's the case, make sure to check back on Monday to see if you've won - I may have no way of contacting you!

I'm off to watch some friends and some pros compete at the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon! Should be fun!! Happy Weekend!


Note: In the name of full disclosure, this giveaway was NOT the idea of 10:10 Wellness. This was my idea. And I'm the one giving away the Monkey from my own personal Monkey stash. I'm an "Instigator" for 10:10 Wellness, which means I help Chris spread the word of his little tri site. But I'm just giving away some Monkey because I seriously think the stuff works wonders, and I want others to try it too! So please, leave a comment to be entered!
