Aqua Sphere SEAL XP Swim Goggle
I love these goggles. I now have at least 6 in my car, gym bags, bike, and office. They are the most comfortable goggles I have ever owned. I was only going to wear them for training and open water swims but after several mishaps with bug-eye goggles I plan to use these full time. They may create more drag in the water but it has not been enough for me to notice

An excellent pair of shorts at a not-so-bad price

I love it. I do not run without it. Having all the data I need for my workouts is great and with all my traveling I know exactly how far I've ran for any city that I'm in that week. I think this is a great piece of equipment.

A lovely looking frame, though I wont release anywhere near its potential for me until I get some weight off my old wheels (and off me!!!)

I have a Newton Racer and bought this shoe for cold and wet weather but will not buy it again.
The advertising on the Newton web site says this shoe "features a wind resistant, water-repellent breathable upper." The very first time I stepped into a puddle (which was no more than 3/4" deep), I learned the hard way that water-repellent doesn't mean water-resistant. My feet and socks were immediately soaking wet from water splashing against the sides of the shoes. I'm not sure if this problem stems from the fabric or the stitching not being waterproof. But trust me, it's not something you want to encounter on a rainy fall or winter night. If you use this shoe in wet weather, be prepared to run with wet feet (which will nicely swell up after 2 hours or so).
Furthermore, the web site says "The outersole incorporates a grippy rubber for reliable traction on wet surfaces." The shoe may be more grippy than the Racer for the first 5-10 miles, thereafter they are the same because what little profile they have on the sole and the lugs will be worn down quickly into a flat pieces of rubber with no profile and no grip at all. Should you encounter snow or icy patches, be prepared for a shock: There is no grip or traction at all. Sure, this is probably not a problem if you're an efficient forefoot runner who uses "falling forward" technique and you run in a straight line on a flat surface, but if you're on an incline, or need to negotiate a corner, or need to slow down because of traffic, you'll soon find out that advertising and reality are two different things.
All other running shoes I have (Adidas, New Balance, etc.) have better traction in wet weather than the Newton Allweather and those without a mesh upper are superior in terms of keeping your feet dry.

Haven't had it long enough to form a good opiniion on how it rides - only had it out on the road one time and it was windy as hell.

Came off a Felt S32 because it did not fit me correctly and I feel this bike out performs that bike (may be because it fits better). Great bike and components for the money. The bike new is $1800, so I got a great deal.
