 | After reading Gary Erickson's book, Raising the Bar, on the story of Clif Bar I realized what an incredible company this is. AND the obvious, what great products they make! Their ingredients are all natural and the taste is uncomparable. Plus, the choices! There are tons of flavors of bars and with the introduction of blocks and drinks, all of your bases are covered. |
|
 | I just received my Orca and Ordu this past weekend. WOW! The road bike feels amazing out of the saddle and the handling when climbing and descending is the best I have ever had. Even better is the TT bike. When I get down in the aero position it is super fast! I can really feel the power when I am turning over the pedals. I can't wait to do some racing!! |
|
| Sugoi makes just about all the swimming, biking, and running clothing you need! No uncomfortable chafing in any of their clothes. The chamios in the cycling shorts and the tri shorts are both perfect! The running clothes look good and feel good. There's no need to look anywhere else! |
|
| The only wetsuit I've worn, and the only one I've needed to wear. Take
if from a swimmer, it matters what kind of wetsuit you get - especially
for comfort. If you're not comfortable, you're not going to swim your
best. Plus, all the advanced technology in this wetsuit gives you the
ideal combination, comfort and free speed! |

|
| Great running shoes and a great company. I race in the flats for shorter races and the Avi-Lite II for my half ironmans. |
|
 | I ride the Courchevel. These tires offer long life, incredible traction on all surfaces, and that ever important Kevlar belt for puncture resistance.. |
|
 | Dura Ace 10 speed!! Superlight, great shifting, and lasts through all those long rides.. |
|
 | I am wearing the Atmos helmet. It fits great on my head. Lots of vents to keep me cool on those hot summer rides, and looks good! |
|
 | Great wheels! I ride the Kysrium Elites and ES for training wheels and the deep dish carbon for racing. The wheels are all super light and the hubs are very low friction. And the customer service is amazing! I had a dink in my wheel and I sent it in to Mavis for repair. I had it back in 5 days (including the shipping time)! |
|
 | adidas cycling shoes are awesome! The tri shoes and the road shoes have a great fit. They are super comfortable and don't slip around in the heel. The large strap in the tri shoe closes to the inside so it won't get in the way of your drive train if you leave your shoes on the bike. Plus, have you seen them?? Who can resist super trendy red shoes!! |
|
 | Easton provides our bar, stem, and seat posts. This is the first time I have used Easton bars on my TT bike and they are awesome. Super light and aero! The oversize bars on my road bike provide lots of shock absorbtion and comfort on my long training rides.
|
|
 | Great saddles! They have so many options for comfort and wieght, that you can't go wrong. A saddle is one of the most important things on your bike, especially when you are in the aerobars for 112 miles!! I use the SLR Kit Carbonio on my road bike and the SLR Gel Flow Carbonio on my TT bike..
|
|
 | The only bike gloves that actually keep my hands warm on those cold winter rides. That's not easy to do!! They also make your standard shorty gloves (really, any gloves!). My pair has lasted ovver two years and still has lots of cushioning! They also provide our gear bags. If you're looking for a bike bag, this is it. I could fit inside!!

|
Bike tools, bike cleaning, lube... Pedros makes all those things that you need for bike maintenance and to keep your bike running smooth.
|
|
 | Have you tasted any Clif bar products recently?? Enough said... My favorites are: cran razz electrolyte drink, mango shots, chocolate chip zbars, and fruit and nut mojo bars!
|
|
| What a great communications sponsor. I have never been one to put a lot of thought into my mobile phone, but the Palm Treo 680 is fantastic. Being able to check my email on the go (especially with all my race travel) is huge! And, the texting is great!!
|
|
 | I don't go anywhere without my trendy yellow cycling computer. It tells me everything form heartrate to distance to speed to cadence! |
|
|
|
I have a blackburn floor pump, frame pump, and mini pump. They are all I use and they keep my tires up at 110 psi!
|
|
|
 |
Great clothes and great backpacks. Mountain Harware makes some awesome jarkets that keep me warm on race mornings. Plus all my gear fits in my race backpack as I head to transition on race morning..
|
|
|
 | Best bike shop in the bay area! There mechanics are second to no one. A special thanks to master mechanic, Dave Prion, for taking care of ALL my big and small bike needs. So, if you ever need a tune up, some gear, or virtually anything bike related; this is he place to go for super friendly, AND excellent service! |
|
 | A top notch masters program in the bay area. Coached by Tim Edmonds (and yours truly once a week) you can get the guidance you need as a beginner swimmer and the tough workouts you need as an advanced swimmer. This program caters to all levels, so you will have company in the 1:10 lane or the 2:00 lane! Plus, you can't beat swimming in Stanford's amazing facilities during the midday sun! |
|
 |
Great swimwear, great swim products! Their long lasting training suit stands up to it's name. It lasted through 2hours of swimming, 6 days a week, for 3 months in Australia; and it's still going strong! Plus, they have Zoomers, hand paddles, goggles, and the new super cool SwimP3 player. Just imagine jamming to the Beatles as you are swimming down the lane. |
|

 |
Superb organic coffee that is dark, bold, and extremely satisfying! You can choose from 100% Kona, Peruvian, and Guatemalan. It's what gets me out of bed for those early morning workouts and races!
|
|
|
 | Great companies and great glasses. I train and race in the Theory. They fit great with my helmet and sit comfortably when riding and running. Plus, super fashionable and functionable. Check out their street line too for something to wear everyday. |

MotionBased is a web application that translates GPS data into functional analysis and online mapping for endurance and outdoor athletes. This lightweight, easy to use gadget is great for knowing all the specifics of that long ride and run. Plus, it stores your old data so you can create a training assistant to push you to a new PR!! |
|
|
| After two years of racing as a pro triathlete I have learned the importance of core strength and muscular stability, and how essential it is in conjunction with all those training miles. Progio is the ideal device for the busy athlete of any level. The workouts are challenging and creative. And Progio is always there with you. Ready any time you need it! |
