If you just joined us for the DCR Giveaway Extravaganza, you’re late…..but….you’re not too late. This craziness has been going on for the past 22 hours. Seriously; like every 2 hours; all night and all day. We’ve given away so many sports gadgets today that this Giveaway now officially rivals the Gross National Product of some small nations. Ok, that’s probably an exaggeration. Well, it’s definitely an exaggeration, but we’ve seriously improved the economic outlook of 11 dedicated DCR readers, and we’re out to make 1 more of you very, very happy. Swimmingly happy as a matter of fact.
Swimmingly as in a cozy threesome of wet gear that would keep anyone happy in the pool and in openwater. First up, a Garmin Swim watch, great for tracking your indoor swims and an all around good all-day watch. Add to that a Finis Neptune Swimming MP3 Player, perfect for zoning out on your favorite music whilst zoning out on the black line in the pool, or for zoning out whilst swimming in circles in openwater (because there is no black line in openwater, which leads me to swim in circles). And to top it all off, and to keep you visible and safe while swimming those circles, a Special Edition DCR Safer Swimmer openwater swim buoy.
So with that being said, comment away, and at midnight all this will come to an end. And then the real wait begins.
Giveaway Opens: 10:00PM US Eastern Time Giveaway Closes: 11:59PM US Eastern Time (Duration: 2 hours)

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.
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! It’s a nice break from the day to day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!
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 2019 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 2018 Gear Guide too.
