I really like these shorts, they combine what I love. A tight compression legging and a short over the top that will not bunch up in the crotch. I have wanted something like this and I just found it – very cool. Could be great for The North Face Endurance Challenge in December.
Time to wash all my bottles! Quite a few, 10 bottles but I’m sure I have a few more lying around.

Start at 6:33am in a lake that has mist floating on it, we can’t see the bouys from the shore!
Interesting looking bikes but really need more pictures to understand how it would be to ride and what the air flow over the frame is like for time trialing or triathlon. Bit hard to gauge the rear wheel cutout from the photo.
This is what they look with a good set of bars and race wheel on, and in green!
Their website says:
Designed and engineered with a specific geometry to perform with maximum aerodynamic out and traction, the Crono is the ideal frame for triathletes and time trialists where every second on the clock makes a difference. The frame is offered in four sizes, and can be set up with the best suited position for the rider. Its monocoque construction ensures maximum stiffness, nimble control, but also that it holds a line. The Crono will get you to the finish line faster.

The race went well, As I jumped in off the boat someone jump behind me hitting my left leg. This only become an issue on the run and after the race.
The swim went well, good sighting resulting a much faster swim.
The bike was hard, and the run tough too, I managed to push to the end and was spent at the finish. Solid race, very happy with the results.

This is one hot looking bike, the aggressive angle and the nice cockpit with some nice fast wheels on it, cool.
Thinking about how it will be very hot in Hawaii, I need to think about what I will be wearing and try to have as much white gear as possible so that it reflects the sun’s heat.
So these shoes are a good thought, they are white, tri specific and will work with any cleat system, so I wouldn’t need to change my cleats.

I just came across this and I think it’s the ultimate review of the Garmin 310 XT – it’s very in-depth and at time overly but I love that about the review too much is great. And heaps of pictures also.

He even takes it on a plane and records the journey, now that’s cool 
He says “Basically my rule of thumb is – if it takes less time to fly to Europe than it does to complete the race, it’s no longer a short race. ”

The Suffer Fest video for warm up then full 1hr Tri Spin class, straight to a fast brick run. The suffer fest was fun, the run was tough. I started the run behind the group, I could just see them disappear round the corner as I started, it took 1.5 miles to catch and pass them. It was tough to stay ahead for the next 1.5 mile but did it.

Distance was slightly longer as the GPS didn’t start counting from the start. It was a loop so the finish was correct but the start was late.

The Men’s KSO Trek is a more rugged version of our popular KSO. The kangaroo leather upper and sock liner feels soft against the foot, yet is strong and tear resistant, with outstanding breathability. A 4mm EVA midsole offers plating protection from stone bruising, and a lightly cleated 4mm Vibram performance rubber outsole delivers improved traction on trails and over more rugged terrain.
KSO TREK IS BEST FOR: Light Trekking, Trail Running, & Travel.
The weight on this is great, but I love the innovation in the brakes. Check out the video for details.
This is the consistent further development of our Aero concept. Best technical values and remarkable handling performance are typical of the Aero 2. Innovative features like integrated brakes and the focus on the DI2 technology make the Aero 2 an outstanding bike.
