Quintana Roo Split Road Bike
This purchase worked out great for me. I was looking for my first real road bike, and was on a budget--$1000-1500. I was close to buying online, but had been searching the LBSs in my area for something used. One LBS owner suggested this QR Split, that he could build up with some parts off of a frame someone had traded in. I've been very pleased with it so far.

Overall this is the best trail shoe I've had. Well made and stylish. Not over constructed but sturdy. It's flexibility and stiffness are just right in all aspects of the shoe.
Read MoreEnduro Boa Hydration Pack
This is a great minimalist hydration pack if you are not planning to carry much. It is ideal for the runner who is not comfortable with hip water bottle belts and it carries more fluid!
Very comfortable and stylish, it can be worn under or over jackets.
Velcro adjustments and easy-adjust shoulder straps make adjustments a snap, although Velcro should be kept away from your technical fabrics.
Hydration system works very well and the "Boa" adjustable control prevents liquid from sloshing too much in the pack.
Nike Zoom Vomero 5
I started using this shoe when I was 275, and it held up really well. Most shoes can't stand up to the beating big guys give on the road, but these shoes held together really well. These shoes are also very comfortable for shock absorption, but feel very light. I can't wait to get my new pair, and the new 2011 models come in orange, too :)

Take into mind I used to run in Brooks Beast. but I am down on weight now and needed less shoe. These have been perfect so far with only about 45km on them so far.
Read MoreQuintana Roo CD.01
This is my first Tri bike and I love it. I hope it lasts me most of my triathlon career. With the minor upgrades of wheels and bottle cages and such it does not need much else. My bike to run transition is so much more comfortable. My leg turn over is much faster when I hit the run.

Read MoreBrooks Green Silence

I'm sold. These are good shoes with no gimmics.
Read MoreSaucony Kinvara
Overall the Kinvara is a GREAT shoe! I bought these as a first step towards a minimalist shoe (minimal upper, low toe drop, minimal support). They feel great! I barely notice them while running. I love them so much, I bought a second pair! I paid around 85 for my first pair in July, but got my second pair for about $70 in late october.
Read MoreBlack Diamond Spot Headlamp
So far this is the best running headlamp that I've used that only needs 3 AAA batteries.
Read MoreBrooks Beasts
It's a support shoe for the overpronator. It works. It doesn't work as well as the predecessor, but it works.
The new DNA is welcome, but it isn't exactly a perfect marriage into this shoe.
Saucony ProGrid Ride 3
Overall a good training shoe. I was using the Addidas Supernova Glide, and wanted to try something different. I anticipate buying another pair if they come out with another color.
