Bowflex Pro Trainer XT Heart Rate Monitor
A great deal for me. Looks like a great product for a beginner triathlete. For advanced users they would probably want more functions, but I love being able to exercise and see my current heart rate and current calories burned. Definitely worth my money.

I'm very impressed with these shorts. They fit very comfortably, whether it is in the water, on the bike, or the run. No chafing, even on a humid, long run.

Still a great value for a 1st full suit!
Read MoreApple WaterFi
I have been using this Waterfi IPOD shuffle for rwo weeks now and it is excellent for the pool. With music I do not even realize how many laps I have just completed. It completely takes your mind off of the PAIN

Bottom line...I love it and I'm glad I bought it. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if mine was ever stolen or if I was rear-ended. This is the best four bike option I could find, even when I'm only moving two bikes I still love it.
Read MoreH2O Audio Trax Custom Fit Headphones
So far these have been impressive little headphones. At first look, it is easy to be fooled into thinking that these are cheap knock-offs. I suggest trying them before judging them.
Read MoreH2O Audio XB3-BK Amphibx Fit
While music devices are not allowed in most triathlons, this is a useful tool for anyone who wants tunes while they train. The products (I will review others) appear well made and are waterproof. The hardest part about writing this review was where to post it - I decided under "gear."

Overall, I'm very happy with the bike and would buy it again.

This was my 2nd pair both are over 300-500 miles. Just bought another pair. I use these shoes for training and racing from 5k to 70.3
Read MoreSkechers GG Run Ride - Ultra
Overall I was skeptical buying running shoes from Skechers. So far though I am happy with them. They are priced aggressively. The question now is if Skechers will stay in the running shoe business or not?

Great shoe for anyone with a similar narrow foot that doesn't want too much padding or correction and isn't quite ready for a minimal shoe. At least that's my opinion.

Considering this is my first road bike, I'm very happy with it .
Read MoreCobb Cycling V-Flow Max Saddle
This saddle looks and appears like a great saddle. I really wanted it to work for me. Unfortunately, my position on the bike is very aero aggressive and for me this saddle placed all of my weight on the outer groin and scrotum. I had over 200 miles on this saddle, trying to give it an honest try. It became so uncomfortable that I began to loathe the thought of even getting on the bike; which happens to be my favorite aspect of triathlon. I truly wish it had worked for me but I just couldn't stand the pain it was causing any longer.
In my humble opinion, for those with less aggressive riding positions, especially road bike riders, this saddle should work quite well. Also, for females with any riding position, this saddle seems like it would work well. (albeit I'm a male but females don't have scrotums to get in the way so...should be great!)
De Soto Carrera Tri Shorts
I bought five of these over a four month period and they have become my all around training shorts. I use them as compressions shorts under regular shorts for running, spin classes, strength training, etc., and as swim jammers too. Can't beat the comfort or durability, even considering the swimming.
