Garmin Fenix 3
I'm planning to enjoy this watch for several years. It's very nice to have one device to do activity monitoring, sleep tracking, and workout tracking. Looks like if I ever branch out to hiking/climbing, it'll be a very useful tool for that, also. If you're comfortable with a honkin' big watch on your wrist and the need for a chest strap for HR, you could do a lot worse than the Fenix 3.

Overall great bike!!! I love not only the price but the way the bike handles. I will stay with Cervelo for now on. I have the 404 on front and 808 Zipp wheels on back. Very lightweight. I guess one of the only downfalls to this bike is I have to buy another aero bar hydration system, my profile design torpedo is a little bit wide for my bars. Overall like I said, I love this bike and will continue to upgrade when the wife lets me HA!!!

Read MoreFast Over 50 by Joe Friel Fast Over 50 by Joe Friel
A great book for triathletes who are over 50 years old and trying to stay competitive.
Joe spends time discussing the unique needs of the over 50 endurance athlete (need for more recovery time, reduced VO2 max, etc). The book covers nutrition and other techniques for the over 50 athlete to increase performance and reduce recovery time.
The book kept my interest and was written in a way that kept the material from being boring. It is filled with tons of references to studies that prove the points made in the book, but it was still relatively easy to read.
Highly recommended
AudioFlood Waterproof iPod Shuffle (5th Gen)
Overall, this is a great device for listening to music or audiobooks while getting in long sets. Great construction, and they work great. Highly recommended.

I love this watch for my everyday training. I have had no issues for either running or biking (w/speed and cadence sensors) training sessions. The only issue I have with this device is that if Garmin Express isn't working (fairly regular issue) there isn't a way to manually transfer data. The interface Garmin made to transfer via ANT+ is terrible.

Bought both of these items separately to use with my KK bike trainer. They paired easily and have worked since coming out of the box. No issues so far and they provide great data to my watch and computer running MaximumTrainer.

This is a pretty cheap, pretty good item to help with swim form. It produces muscle memory so you can have good arm position in your swim.

Overall, I love this setup. It is great listening to music while swimming, especially when I am doing a long endurance set.
Read MoreLee Gruenfeld Iron War
Despite it's short comings regarding the back ground of these two champions, the vast majority of the book was entertaining and easy to get lost in the race painted beautifully by the author. I ran 13 miles without thinking about it as I could see myself at Iron War while listening via audible book version.

I used to run 1000+ miles a year in Pegasus, buying at least 8 pair a year as the combination of NikeID and my love of the comfort this shoe used to be had me in love with Nike. Now, even walking a couple miles in these without any running leaves my knees aching. They may work splendidly for people new to Pegasus, but old school Pegasus lovers will not enjoy these shoes. :-(
