I realized something today. Christmas is almost here. So, I did what anyone would do who forgets about buying gifts until just before the holiday, I exclaimed under my breath, “Dang.” If you’re like me, and you also forget things like major holidays, here are a few last minute gift […]
Raise your hand if you’ve ever left your precious bike leaning against a wall, sans lock, and run into a café for a quick snack or bathroom break. Now, if you’re in a public place reading this, look around to see how many people are staring and wondering why you’ve got […]
Although I don’t normally put two reviews on the same page, I couldn’t help myself this time. The kind people at ENDEVR hooked me up with their super slick ID and their street-cred raising kinesiology tape to help me look doubly legit–no matter how easy the training day. Combined, you’ll be […]
Every triathlete knows that getting ride/run bricks in is super important. My aversion to running often tempts me to skip these bricks–especially when I hate to ruin a smooth and amazing bike ride with a lung-blasting, lumbering run. But I always try to remind myself of the time I got […]
Minimalism. It’s something of a trend in our sport. If you’re packing light, you’re going fast, right? This philosophy has forced me into carrying the world’s tiniest multi-tool with four of the world’s shortest and smallest wrenches folded within it. There’s not really anything wrong with it. It works on […]
We all know the drama that extra weight can create on our rides. What better way to explain a slow climb or getting dropped from the group than blaming it on some extra, unnecessary grams you’re struggling to drag along with you? I’ve got your perfect excuse for a slow […]
At Interbike, I got the chance to get up to speed with some of the newest accessories from Nite Ize. With plenty of samples from the friendly people at Nite-Ize in tow, I decided to put them to the test over a few rigorous training sessions. Here’s one of my […]
As a woman, I have the advantage of steering clear of the leg-shaving debate. We gals shave because it’s a social norm, and maybe it makes us more aero too. After going with the old soap and water routine for years, I didn’t quite know what I was missing until […]
We’ve all been there. Begging our bike shop to let us borrow just one more saddle to try before we buy. If you’re like me, and you’ve been stuck on a seat that just never quite fit right, you’ll know the struggle to find something comfortable that still looks sleek […]
Let’s face it, the most unfortunate part of being a triathlete is having to get out and run. But running, as much as I can’t handle it, offers plenty of bang for your training buck. So why not make those runs more enjoyable with some cool safety gear? Since I’m […]
In the midst of Interbike heaven, and next to one of the coolest waterproof sock demonstrations I’ve seen in a while–yes, it did involve a woman sloshing around in a tub full of water–I had a chance to sit down with the folks at Sealskinz to discuss the upcoming release […]
So you’ve spent plenty of money on your road bike, got a fit for road racing, and started doing some local criteriums. But suddenly you’ve caught the triathlon bug. So what do you do? Spend more money on a time-trial bike? Maybe get yourself a set of clip-on aerobars and […]
How often have you watched the Tour de France, the Vuelta, or the Amgen Tour of California and drooled over all the pretty bikes the pros are riding? Well, now you could own the very same bike you’ve watched climb mountains, sprint to the finish, or suffer through a time […]
I’ll tell you a secret. Safety pins have always freaked me out a little. Who’s to say they won’t pop open and start sticking you whenever and wherever they feel like it? I mean, when you pin a race bib to your jersey, you’re basically voluntarily pushing fish hooks right […]
