Perhaps the coolest accessory you can get for your swim, ride, run, or other activity is the RoadID. Fashionable, awesome, and just plain useful, RoadID is a must for any athlete–especially if you train on your own a lot. I have had my WristID Elite for a few years now, […]
You’ve probably noticed the “cheeky” phrases the Cannondale Pro cycling team is sporting across their bib shorts. “I’m a bull,” “I’m a snake,” and “I’m a chameleon” are great hooks for Fi’zi:k’s Spine Concept saddles. If you’re wondering what the heck these phrases mean, well you’re not alone in wondering. […]
Evie Stevens, Mark Cavendish, and Tom Boonen all have something in common–they’ve been winning lately wearing Specialized’s newest aero road helmet, the S-Works Evade.

The morning of my first triathlon, I packed a few bags with gear, loaded my Cervelo onto the roof of my car, and took off. Thirty minutes later, I arrived at the race, started setting up my transition area (as previously practiced) and pinned my number on. I was feeling […]
The morning of my first race, I couldn’t eat. I checked and re-checked my gear, and I probably threw up at least once. Much of my pre-race jitters came from not knowing what to expect from the pack, whether or not my legs were solid enough to hang, and wondering […]
I’m not gonna lie, I hate running. I consider myself a cyclist first, and triathlete second. But unfortunately, running is a part of triathlon, and in order to lower my overall time and stay competitive, I have to pretend I’m chasing the great myth of the runner’s high. To all […]
It’s not often that you have the opportunity to buy speed–at least not without months and months of training to make drops in weight actually matter. But the new Giro Air Attack helmet offers you just that: speed without the work. Although it may look like something straight from the […]
