1. September Newsletter !
Welcome to another installment of the GymSkinZ Inc. official newsletter! If you are receiving this, it means you sent me your contact info via my website so thank you for dropping by!
The last 6 months were a complete and utter circus act while getting prepared to race at Ironman Canada. However, now that it's FINALLY over, I can focus on continuing to build GymSkinZ and riding the momentum from this summer into the fall. The off-season will bring many big changes and I want to thank everyone for their great support and patience over the last 6 months as I struggled to get this little project off the ground - and it's still just hovering a few inches off the ground as far as I'm concerned. Now that I think about it, GymSkinZ is already 6 months old?!? In that blink of an eye, I've got my gear in over 25 different countries, and I'm closing in on my 1000th shirt sold! Like I said, big things are in the works, so hang on for the ride ;)

2. Ironman Canada 2006 !
So the whole reason I started this little t-shirt thing was to "celebrate" the fun of being a weekend-warrior triathlete. I am fortunate enough to train and associate with some of the coolest and fun people you could ever meet, so our antics inspired many - if not all - of my GymSkinZ designs.
The road to Ironman Canada was a looong and somewhat painful one, but after completing the race a couple weeks ago, albeit BARELY, I can look back and say it was one of THE MOST AMAZING and life-altering experiences I've ever had. In that long journey to the proverbial finish line, I met so many great people along the way and can not express how proud I am of my fellow "Iron-People" for their accomplishment. I'd like to acknowledge the following friends and fellow athletes whom I had the pleasure of training / dog-paddling / panicking / encouraging / corresponding / supporting / laughing / racing / crawling / puking / finishing & celebrating with over the past year: In no particular order of importance : Hoz, Ron, Tara, Harry, DH, Larry, Matthew, Jenny, Sheryl, Shannon, Linda, Lara, Kristina, Charles, Michelle, Heather, all the Mikes, Johns & and Daves, Anita, Dominque, Patty, Jordan, Anthony, Lucy, Lis, Dean, Steve, Kathie, Bill, Michaella, Gerry, Ben, Kev, Jenny, Stella, Jen, Dara, Kathy, my Mom & Dad and family, all the mySpacers and PodCast Subscribers, customers, and ALL other friends - old and new, that made this crazy adventure so amazing, and so much FUN! The journey continues as we have many other races slated throughout the next year - GymSkinZ takes this travelling circus act on the road to Chicago in October, the California marathon in December, and we'll blow out the year down in Vegas right after. God knows what may happen next year in L.A., and perhaps even Austin?!? In any case, all roads will lead to the 25th Anniversary of Ironman Canada next August 2007 when Ron, Matthew, Tara, Larry, Harry and I (along with a few more of the crew) plan for another round of punishment.

3. Dri-Fit / Technical Fiber Series !
The new and improved GymSkinZ Performance line of technical tops are finally in! These are my own custom design and are made from "Chitosante Interlock" dri-fit material - like butta! They are also designed in a separate mens and ladies fit. A few selected GymSkinZ designs will be released using these tops in the next couple week in addition to the two-tone unisex versions I have in production. Stay tuned!

4. Quality Control !
I am still using the services of Cafepress to produce most of my designs so most of you are receiving your items direct from them. I don't actually get to see or touch the product before you get it, so please let me know if you have any shipping or sizing issues or anything else about your purchasing experience. All purchases are backed by a 30day 100% money-back guarantee so if you need a different size or the shirt wasn't what you expected and you'd like to exchange it for another style, I (and cafepress) will be glad to resolve the problem!

5. New Designs !
TONS of new designs are in the works! Now that Ironman is over, I have a little more time to devote to my little t-shirt biz so please stay tuned! Just drop by the news section on my site often, or browse the catalog for any new updates. With the upcoming offseason, there will be a few designs in honour of "getting lazy while sitting on the couch", as well as the release of my NerdSkinZ line which have absolutely nothing to do with sports, but are still just as hillarious ;)
