Triathlon Gear Reviews
Brooks Glycerin 11
I'm a big guy. Started with these at about 235 and am now down to 220. I've increased my distance from 5k to half marathon and these have been my "go to". I like them more than the Glycerin 10. If they weren't $150 I'd have 2 or 3 pair to switch between. Overall, I would recommend these shies to anyone that needs a strong Neutral Plus shoe.

I don't think I will every buy a different set of goggles again.

Solid shoe, but maybe not suited for a runner needing more mileage out of her shoes.
Read MoreFelt B12
I've loved my B12 since i've gotten it as my first tri bike. I believe i'll have it for years and years maybe upgrading components as I get more experienced in triathlon. I bought this as a "last years models" and suggest anyone else to do this if there looking for great value in a bike:)
Read MoreSole Treadmill F85
When I first bought this treadmill, it was seen as something mostly my wife would use as I typically loathe running on these things. I had never heard of this brand. My limited experience with treadmills suggested that after a few years they start to break down and you experience issues with the belt. However, after having this machine for a few years and coming off of a long, cold winter I'm impressed with how this treadmill has held up. It has not only served as my wife's primary weekday, late night run option over the years, but it has seen more use from me than I would have initially thought it would receive at the time of purchase.
I would definitely purchase this brand of treadmill again.
Garmin Forerunner 910XT
This is a great watch and if something happened to mine I'd run out and buy another one since it is that useful to me. The pool swim tracking is useful but could be improved by adding a drill mode and a way to disable the pop up display after hitting the lap button

Love this this piece of kit would highly recommend it
Read MoreAqua Sphere K-180 Goggles
I love these goggles. These are the first pair that I can say are very comfortable and almost a perfect fit for my asian face. The customizing nose pieces are a great bonus. Would highly recommend these a try!

So far so good. I would definitely recommend it
Read MoreH2O Audio Interval 3G Waterproof Headphone System for iPod shuffle (3rd Gen)
When you buy anything waterproof I think at first you're always skeptical and wonder how long this is going to last or get a leak. To my surprise this unit has held up very well and keeps playing my music. The structure is very strong and has a good seal to keep water out. The earbuds are very comfortable and really don't notice they are there. This unit has really been a lifesaver for my long swim sessions:) If you can find a good deal on one of these it's surely worth the money.

its a £200 bike. Im a beginner cyclist so im not sure what a £1500 bike would feel like but all i can say is the maximum gear doesnt seem strong enough and the 14 speeds it has some dont change with the gear click im either on 4 (half way up level 1) 8 (first click level 2) or 14 max gear. i would say its a good bike for the beginner but when im cycling and other i assume better cyclists come by they leave me for dust even if i try to keep up and im not unfit by any means
Read MoreXTERRA Wetsuits Lava Pants
The Lava Pants by XTERRA Wetsuits have definitely found a place in my training routine. With them I have been able to get a better feel with streamlining my body while being able to Incorporate my kick and rotation to hopefully initiate muscle memory. During my first use I did noticed my average time per/100m was decreased overall for 100m x10 by a good 8 seconds (my average was 1:45/100m at probably 80% effort according to my 910xt). I was able to "feel" the positioning of being streamlined and was able to better duplicate it after removing the Lava pants. I end each training session that I use the Lava pants (so far I use them for my longer sets 2x a week out of the 4x a week that I swim)with by swimming 5-10 laps without them. One of the best training products for swimming that I have purchased.

I really like using these as a tool for a few hundred yards in my warm-up. I don't use them for every swim, maybe every 3rd one. Swimming is such a technical sport and those of us who started late in life can benefit from aids like this to perfect our form as much as possible in order to gain a more efficient swim.
Read MoreBlue Seventy Reaction Long Sleeve
Buying this wetsuit was one of the best purchases i've made for myself and my tri seasons. I did well with the Xterra sleeveless but sometimes it was just too cold so i've been wanting a full suit. The Reaction gives me everything out of a full suit that I want. The thickness is just right providing that buoyancy but also giving my free range of motion through my joints. Blue seventy has gotten them self a new customer.
