I love the colors of the shoe! I thought it might be too flashy, but they actually look great on. I am also not a huge fan of the color pink but the hot pink is fun. Additionally, the shoe is comfortable and sturdy without over-correcting your running motion. I ran on a dirt/stone road and couldn't feel the stones, unlike my other training shoes. The only drawback I had about the shoes were the laces, but that is an easy fix! The laces were not normal round laces; instead the shoes have a flat and almost slippery lace that is pretty short (I could not double knot my laces). Overall, it is good shoe for trail running!

This flip-up armrest kit is excellent. It is wonderful that it frees up the tops of the bars for climbing, and just to have a little variety of grip if the hands are starting to go numb. They are extremely adjustable in angle and setting, and are rock solid when being used in the aero position.

Not sure if it is just the one that I have, but the gel doesn't just come out the top but all around the rubber spout as well. It stays closed well and is easier than dealing with packets on the road, but it is a little annoying to have to lick clean the whole mouth of the bottle after every time you use it. Haven't tried one of the other brands' flasks to compare, but I wasn't really imrpessed with this one.

I love these shoes. They fit my foot great from day 1. No seams on the inside meant no hot spots or rubbing and the drainage is excellent. Worked excellent for a marathon without any problems. Also work great for sprints and oly's, I just take off the laces, forget about socks, and they work excellent. They take plenty of abuse (I'm a clydesdale and a heavy stepped runner) and when I burn through this pair, I will definitely get another of the same type.

This is an amazing saddle. It has tons of padding without adding a ton of weight, crushing the vitals, or retaining water. The padding is more than enough to make up for even the thinnest chamois on a tri suit or shorts and it is extremely comfortable in the aero tuck. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I was very impressed with performance the suit offered. It was between the 2XU in the same price range and I picked the Orca. I use a trisuit because I do not have the money to buy a wetsuit, so this takes the place of that. It will not shave the minutes off your swim time like wetsuit will but it will save you time in the transition area when all you have to do is put on your shoes and grab your bike. The suit is very comfortable and looks good. There is no seeing through the fabric when it is stretched thin on the bike and the front zipper will help cool you off for the run. Overall not really any complaints.

The short has a nice overall fit. The core tri short has a thicker chamois which was nice on the bike, but it is also wider than normal which makes it quite irritating on the run.

I've been using Fluid for about 2 years now. Has really changed the way I recover. Its a noticeable difference when I have it and when I don't. Main thing is feeling less achy & sore after tough workouts. Recommended it to my marathon training group this year for Eugene, everyone loved it! Mixes well for recovery stuff, little clumping at first but it all disappears after a min. Not too sweet, heavy, or chalky like other protein/carb stuff I've tried. My favorite recovery drink by far!

I've been swimming competitively since high school, and even back then I could never keep track of how many laps I swam past about 200 yards in the pool. I don't think I'm particularly stupid but I'm really incompetent when it comes to counting laps. And now that I do sets where I swim 500 yards at a time, I cause myself a lot of trouble without my Poolmate. This is not a fancy watch by any means, but it does the job of counting laps nearly perfectly for me. One button to start, same button to pause/rest, hold the same button to stop. It's also got an Swimming Efficiency Index that tells me how strongly I am swimming (strokes per lap = lower is better), and my goal is to get to PRO. :) If you are a flip-turner, there is absolutely no thinking involved, it just counts every flip turn. If you are NOT a flip turner, you can still use this watch -- just make sure you are touching the wall with the hand that has the watch on it (my left hand). If your touch turns are not using the hand with the watch on it, the watch may not sense that you have ended your stroke at the wall. I have the black one and am so happy with this watch. Finally I can go back to day dreaming while I swim my laps in the pool. Thank you Swimovate and OneTri!

bought the aero hamock first and did not like it. Aero pocket works great
