5 Easy Steps To The Site

In Depth Product Reviews
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

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.
About the City bike BMX riding, you can also watch the french version here, with a Vélib !

so that citi bike bmx… interesting piece, not sure if it was sponsored by them or not… It sort of looks like it was, but I can bet after this video a lot more people are going to be doing deliberate damage to those bikes.
On the Slowest Generation article, I agree with your observation that “it was overlooked that the number of people now running in these events has exploded – thus times will naturally get slower with a more diverse group of people.” But even if the average times have gotten slower, the fastest people in the younger age brackets should still be faster than that of the older age brackets. Unless there’s so many events that the fastest young people are competing in different events than the fastest older people.
“Unless there’s so many events that the fastest young people are competing in different events than the fastest older people.”
This. Basically I think we’re seeing so many events that the field is so spread out at the pointy end. We see this even enumerate itself in the pro ranks for example, at the 70.3 events (simply too many now to get more than a handful of pros at a given event), or the specific Rev3 events where they don’t offer a prize purse.
Like the IOS7 early adopter approach. :)
Hello,
You should update your iPad to iOS7 in order to see the iOS7 version of AltiFondo.
Apple took it right, you can download only the last version compatible with your version of system.
Check http://www.altifondo.com to see screenshots of AltiFondo for iOS7.
Regards,
Gilles.
Some extra news for your weekly round up

would it be possible to queue the adidas micoach and their equipment in the near future?
Interesting, I can’t quite figure out – is it BT Smart, or BT Legacy? If BT Smart, it’d actually be the first BT Smart compatible app.
Ok, in poking around a bit more, it does look like BT Smart. Good stuff, first app compatible!
Is anyone else having trouble with their FR910XT taking longer to lock onto GPS satellites after the recent slew of updates?
I haven’t heard of any uptick there. However, what you describing happens from time to time when a Garmin device gets an no longer accessible satellite stuck in its cache. Simply doing a soft-reset will clear the cache.
