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.
You definitely stay up late.
I would have lots of energy too if I ever ate a pint of ice cream … running to the bathroom all night!
The perkiness level graph is great. I’m pretty sure that there is nothing these days that could keep me awake until 3 am – but if I ever have to be up that late, I’m trying B&J’s!!
awesome.
um…
you were in my dream last night? (nothing weird, you were just… there… but that’s weird in and of itself, right?)
My day curve would be the inverse of the night curve if I stayed up that late!
A full container… no wonder you were up so late!
I love the graph..but how do you get up to 120? Is that two tubs of B&J?
That’s awesome….and how I used to eat ice cream. Tell me that was a pint and not a full 1/2 gallon? I was proud that my light eggnog half gallon ice cream took me 4 weeks to finish, very un-Kat like
jajaja nice man that happens to me on Thanksgiving night when I ate a lot of chocolate I know the feeling
LOVE the graph.
I had a slow cooker day last week… but it turned out bad. How you can mess up food in the crockpot, I’m not sure.
i gain weight just reading about B & J.
I’d say it’s totally worth the high.
“And knowing is half the battle!”
Goddess brought some home last night. I had a few bites and my stomach reminded me the rest of the night. But it tasted good.
It’s been a looooooooong time since I had ice cream. For no particular reason.
gads,
I will stay away from the B & J on the nights before I have to teach my 5:30 am classes
the sugar would keep me up…
the excess cream etc..would make me hate myself….
…mmmmmmm….ice cream!
As an engineer, I have to criticize you for not having units on “perkiness factor” – what the hell are the units on perkiness?
Wow. Well I’m proud to say I don’t have to worry about this problem…but good to know, I guess? :)
