Blackwell Research ISM Adamo Road Saddle
If you're having problems with NUMBNESS in the area where you'd rather NOT be numb, this is the best solution I've found. I opted for the "ROAD" saddle, and not the "RACE" saddle because I just seem to need a bit more padding, but the differences were very small in weight (my water bottle weighs more!). Their web site is extremely helpful. Looks wierd, feels good.

The Wii Fit is a great way to improve balance and core stability. Learn Yoga with feed back on COG vs BOS. Gives you ability to play games to improve balance and core strength. Give you feed back on progress. It's a bit mindlessly addicting as most video games are but in a good way. We have had companies bring in machines that measure the same thing with a balance board for tens of thousands of dollars this kinda wraps it up into one nice little balance/core package for under $400 minus TV/monitor. It's good piece of equipment to add some needed core feedback and change things up.

I will get the footpod, but I kind of wish it did a calorie burn independent of it. I want teh FP to measure paace and distance more than anything else.

Hold on to your tri bike for a couple of more years and put the money you would spend on a new on into a great MTB. There are some great options out there -- the Gary Fisher brand comes to mind as an alternative to Trek. But kids, riding a MTB can help your cycling when coupled with a smart training plan. A Trek bike is a great way to help you accomplish your goal of going faster and farther.

The level of service that I get from this company is superb. In one of my orders, I got what looked like a hand written note from Mike Folan, who is the President of the company. I am not sure if it was printed up, but it looked like real handwriting to me. I order a ton of tri products online and I have found INFINIT Nutrition reaches the poduim in their service levels each time I work with them.

Big step up from my Nike track shoes. Much better with the slight pronation I run with.

When it works right its awesome but so often it "freaks out" and won't work right.

An excellent hydration and nutrition belt for any runner. Very much preferred to the older model Fuel Belt.
Read MoreProfile Design Triathlon Saddle -Ti rails
I just purchased this saddle, the weight is decent, and seems well constructed. I have to determine if frontal area padding will compensate.
1 yr UPDATE: I've used several types of saddles, this one included. I was very happy with it.
It is also surprisingly lite for how bulky it is. That nose is all but foam (in other words, air pockets). I would only recommend it if you are a "nose rider" and I don't mean that in any way other than cycling - LOL But if you are used to riding on your seat bones (further back), the bulky nose between your hamstrings can be difficult to get used to. Not sure that the vents do anything but avoid some pressure on the prostate zone, but it helps on that too.
I've read this over and over and there's no other way to explain it.
Asics Gel Nimbus 9

Read MoreTrigger Point Performance Therapy Total Body Package w/ Ultimate Six Book
In my battle against ITBS, this product has helped remarkably. It is much more aggressive than a foam roller, which tends to soften over time and has too wide of a circumfrence to really dig in.
I love using the quad roller on my quads and hamstrings, as well as my hip flexors. It breaks up the knots and adhesions.
Recommended for many conditions, including ITBS, plantar fasciitis, knee and hip dysfunction, etc. Lots of great articles at the website too.

Cervelo P2C
With the $500 I saved vs. the Durace spec bike it will go towards aero wheels. Need more info, this says it best...
