Note if you're reading a watch review: Note that over the past few months new Garmin, Timex and Polar watches have been released. If you're stopping by to read one of my many watch reviews, you'll definitely want to check out the new Garmin FR910XT In Depth Review, the Garmin FR610 In Depth Review, Timex Run Trainer and Polar RCX5 In Depth Review. Always best to know all your options out there. Enjoy!

Rainmaker,

I truly enjoy reading your Blog. It helps to provide me with some additional motivation.

Out of curiosity, what line of work are you in? I see it takes you on some regular travels.

Hi Jake!

I work in IT, designing enterprise computer systems for large organizations. I travel a fair bit domestically, and also in waves internationally. I also do a bit of speaking at conferences and events, which add to the travel schedule.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the comments!

I've been following your blog now for about two weeks and love it. I love seeing somebody blog about the whole spectrum of triathlons espcially the technology side of things. I love these pictures too, I'm a fellow photographer and love seeing the different images you've composed of the sport. Thanks

Andy
