The other day, while spinning in my pain-cave, I was watching a rerun of the 2007 Kona footage. Today, Slowtwitch.com highlighted Lazer helmets and their new “Magic Buckle”, a magnetic buckle that you can close with one hand and is still secure when closed.
These two disparate events got me thinking. Macca sure could have used a magic buckle at this point in the race:
I just ordered Macca’s book I’m Here to Win.
Looking forward to giving the book a read. I’m not expecting much, but will be happy to be surprised. 🙂

I just received the email that I’ve been selected as a Sugoi Brand Champion. I’m so happy and excited to be selected to represent such an awesome product line.
I’ve long since been a fan of the Sugoi products. Feel, fit and finish they’ve all done well by me and proven to have durable and long-lasting construction that has stood up to hundreds of hours of training and racing.
Thanks Sugoi!
I haven’t yet had time to summarize the survey data, but in the short-term thought I’d publish a link to the raw data for those who are interested.
This link will give you a .xls file with the raw data if you want to slice and dice it yourself.
Shameless plug time, but 1st a confession: I like twitter.. too much. The real-time rolling updates of humor, knowledge and trivia have the ability to completely shred my day. I started recognizing this as a problem a few weeks ago. I needed a way to ensure that I still saw my feed, but didn’t have to feel glued to the real-time nature of it day-in and day-out.
Not finding a solution, I wrote one. It’s called Tweetgest because it digests your twitter feed and sends you an email, either on a schedule you determine, or when the digest gets to a certain size.
I’ve freed myself from my twitter feed, but don’t miss the content because I read it at my leisure. Tweetgest is still under development, the UI is ugly and I have more ideas to implement (sorting options, summaries, maybe some topic analysis, html email vs ascii email (it’s html email only right now), etc.) but it’s functional and useful – or at least I think so 🙂
Feel free to head on over and set yourself up and please spread the word: Tweetgest
I love RoadID. I’ve worn them, in one form or another, since I started my 1st 5k clinic over 10 years ago.
I do a lot of my training solo, and knowing that there’s a RoadID on me that can speak for me when I cannot (either I’m unwilling or unable) gives me, and my wife, some comfort. I wear mine pretty much every day (either running, or cycling, or commuting on bike to/from work).
Course wearing a RoadID is only as good as the info on it. I just ordered a new RoadID and new tags for my wrist model, to refresh the data and reflect new information. Do you have a RoadID? Is it up to date? If you don’t have one, I encourage you to get one. They’re well made, inexpensive and carry potentially vital information.
WIth my last purchase, RoadID gave me 20 coupons for $1 off. Sure $1 isn’t much, but free money is still free money 🙂 If you comment on this post, I’ll send you a coupon. If I get more than 20 comments, I’ll draw randomly from the commenters Sunday afternoon and send coupon codes to 20 lucky people.
(No, this isn’t an April fools day joke.)
