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.
Delicious. If you ever want help getting rid of all that food, just let me know and I will eat all of it.
I never, ever get tired of your food and meal pictures.
And of course the cupcakes are spectactular as well.
Ok, now you have me curious to make waffle fries on my mandolin. I have not done it yet because it seemed too complicated. You know me and machinery, LOL.
Hey Liz – It’s not too bad actually. A little rough the first few fries until ya figure it out. I think regular potatoes would be far easier than sweet (which are longer and harder to work with). The trick to the waffle (vs the ripple) is alternating direction each time.
Wow, all the food looks so good! Thanks for the links to the recipes.
Rainmaker-I’m glad you are enjoying your downtime from training. It’s great you have other hobbies-I was recently bemoaning my interests are one-dimensional!
Congratulations on a great season of racing.
That all looks great…it looks like you baked the fries? What was the deal with the ice water? I’ve tried baking some sweet potato fries before, but they didn’t turn out to well and didn’t have an ice water step.
Awesome!!! Everything looked great and made my stomach growl at 7:40 in the morning! Or maybe that was the extra black coffee. Either way, being an aspiring home cook myself, what was the significance of putting the sweet potato fries in ice before cooking? Just curious! :)
YUMMMOOO!! you guys eat SO well! i think im gonna try out the caramel pork (although it looks wayyyy complicated!)
Oh my there is some serious drooling going on here!!! And your pics look better then the ones from the link! I think you may have missed your calling, although I’m not sure if it is the cooking or the photographing!
Yummm…looks good! But the cupcakes are my favorite.
OMG I must go eat now – that all looked SOOOOOO good!
looks amazingly delicious! you definitely deserve it.
Mmmmmmmm…. Hungry monster… I’ve been really enjoying your blog for a while now. Any chance you could give us blog followers an article on core training (if you do any, and if so what) so we can work of the calories of these great recipies.
Looks great…but then you’re not throwing food at two <5 y/os in the mix!
I must say that Risotto looks amazing and I will be buying the stuff to make it this weekend! Do the two of you go through all of those cupcakes or do you pawn them off on co-workers and friends? I love me some cupcakes but dang I feel like you guys have a new batch every week.
I love the days when W&S, Cooks, Bon Appetite show up…i know what the menu is for the rest of the week…
