Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7
Started out with a pair of Asics and had issues with shin splints from the first time out. Thought it was me. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I went to a shop and got fitted with these. Found out the Asics I had were for more pronation, which I didn't have. Bought the Brooks, went for a run the same day...and NO pain. Loved them so much, I bought a second pair 5 months later at a gear expo on closeout. Been great through 2 1/2 marys so far.

I love the versitility and comfort of this hydration belt. I would buy this belt again. I have added a 10 oz bottle to my belt. I is a little more awkward to hold than the 7 oz bottles if you have small hands. I do like the added capacity, so they are worth it to me.

This is the best quality pack I have ever purchased - for any sport.
It does what it is supposed to and more and looks good doing it.
Speedo Speed Socket
My trusty Lane 4 goggles began leaking about three weeks before Ironman Wisconsin, so the search was on for a replacement. Good seal and comfort were the determining factors for me. I tried on pretty much every goggle option at the store, including offerings from Lane 4, TYR and Speedo. The Speed Sockets were by far the most expensive option so I really wanted one of the other options to feel as good on my face but they just didn't come close. Given that IMWI was the primary concern, I decided to pony up the extra cash for the Speed Sockets. Boy, am I glad I did.
These goggles seal as well as any I have ever used. The elastic strap is easily adjustable. The goggles come with several options for nose pieces, and they are relatively easy to change to get the right fit. Really the only drawback to this model is that you can't just adjust the nosepiece any time, rather, you need to think ahead and get them set up right ahead of time. Given that they are holding up well after a few months of use I don't find this to be a drawback at all.
If you swim long, these goggles are worth the extra bucks. I recommend them.
New Balance 701
For the price I found them for online, you can't beat it. It's not the most comfortable shoe in the world, but it performs well and as I said, is one of the few shoes that fits my skinny foot well.

Read MoreTimex Ironman Triathlon 100 Lap with Flix
I really like the interval setting for swimming, its simple to use and speeds up my workouts,interval alarm is easy to hear above or below water. A main set on my watch I can set up for 8x100 on 1:35, with :15 rest. Its like having a swim coach where I can focus on effort and not counting.
Read MorePromotion Wetsuit
As you can tell, I really like this suit. Unless someone gave me another brand, I wouldn't purposefully go out and even try a different one. I am sold.

New Balance 1061
Great fitting cushioned trainer, especially for bigger folks like me (200lbs+). Available in extra wide and larger toe box. Good fit and durable. Used to wear Asic Kayanos, but they got soo expensive and wanted an 'American Made' brand.
