Endurox R4 Recovery Drink Review
I've been using Endurox R4 Recovery Drink after workouts for over a year now with good results. It definitely speeds recovery for me and provides a bit of a lift after a workout. For two workout days it's a must and a great insurance policy. The fruit punch tastes great. The only con is that the new formulation doesn't seem to mix as well as the old formulation so shake don't stir.

Good Shoe for the right runner
I rated the shoe a 3 because it is very comfortable. It is very soft though and is simply a cushioning shoe that doesn't provide a lot of support. I ended up putting 300 miles on it and then switched to another Asics model for slight motion control and my knee problem was almost instantly better. I've read elsewhere that others have complained of knee issues with this particular shoe
Selle SMP
Relieves pain by allowing blood flow. Makes all the difference on the long ride!
Flexible but very hard cushion
Although this shoe is very light, fresh and flexible I did not like the cushioning system. Way too hard.
Ironman CDA 2009 Race Preview
Fantastic
I've bought it for $339 at Bike Tech Miami and this is the best wetsuit I ever have. I tried six different sizes and picked size 8. Great product.
Polar RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor
I have had no problems with my Polar RS200SD. It is extremely accurate. and easy to use although more advanced interval monitoring is a little cumbersome. For anyone looking to purchase a heart rate monitor for the first time the RS200SD is a great start and has the weblink feature that lets you use Polar's software to breakdown and visualize your workout heart rate data. I have not used the foot pod so I can't comment on it. I've had very good luck with mine so far.

Great Bike
I have a season of ironman training in this bike and it is by far the best bike I have riden. Also, it is nice not to ride something different then a Cervelo like everyone and their mothers.
I recommend this bike to anyone looking for a speed machine.









P2-SL Pro
I have the P2-SL Pro and I love it. I added Zipp 404 Clydesdales and am gtiing faster all the time. I am a MC and had the 20th fastest over all bike in a race yesterday. Can't be beat for the money.
