My birthday is coming up later this month and my wife told me that I need to figure out what I want that is $100 or less. Any suggestions?

what to you need?

you can get some cheap pedals, cheap aerobars, a nice trisuit, goggles, a case or two of jelly belly sports jelly beans, that's enough for a sprint or oly race registration, a couple tri books, or a lap dance and some flowers for the wife :)

I would get a transition bag or some TRIFUEL wear.

A quiet, inexpensive dinner out with the wife...
It will be worth far more in the long run than a piece of tri gear that you'll hate three weeks from now.

We live in the DC area and can get great meals from all kinds of different cultures in nice restaurants for $40 to $60 bucks...With alcohol! $70 bucks with dessert (rare).

I'd go to one of the online tri shops and make a list then let her pick... I currently have about $300 of goodies I'd like from all3sports :D

The best part of triathlon is that there's so many gadgets clothing and training aids that there's always great gift ideas for the loved ones to choose from. The down side is that can be part of the tri addiction and empty your wallet quickly...

Happy Birthday BTW :)
