Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
Dang!
Where do you find time to search for these random You Tube videos?
LOL, that thing better be careful with my Zipp 404’s!
If I tried to run a 5:21 mile, you could track me by following the trail of “hershey squirts” up to the point my heart exploded!
big deal…i’ve run with a 2:30 marathoner!
ok, i’ll concede that even though i was sprinting he was probably walking. it was so dangerous where we were neither of us wanted to run alone…you were probably actually both getting a workout in!!! bad. ass.
T2: Judgment Day!
You stole my thunder on the video clip!
If it can handle the basket, I am sure the aerobars are okay :-) Speaking of which – I wonder if they make baskets to go around aerobars? :-)
That’s a full day’s workout alright.
Jaw dropping. That’s what you are. 5:21 mile. after 24 mile ride. WHAT PARTS OF YOU ARE TITANIUM AGAIN???!
and what are you doing telling d.c. spinster that you don’t call out if runners wear headphones?!?! You are undoing ALL my hard work with him!
:)
Man, you’re getting faster and faster, wow!
Good luck this weekend in your 10-miler!
Bruno.
You’re going to go Pro within a few years. Mark my words.
And I’m going to say, I knew him when!
trieric dropped that japanese nugget on his little blog recently…I was thinking it would be cool if you could put a hybrid bike in there and get out a trek-tribike all pimped out…whooohoo.
your 5:21 miles are amazing…
I could not ride a motocycle at the pace… rememeber us when you go big time
Leave it to the Japanese to come up with such a contraption – so what were those guys saying anyways?
