I think all athletes are obsessed with their
equipement. I have spent countless hours going over various bike parts,
run gear, and all sorts of equipement. After going through several
thousands of dollars I have found two companies that go above and
beyond what I ask of all my equipement.
Blue
Competition Cycles have produced top quality frames for
several years. I have ridden titanium, carbon, aluminum, aluminum/carbon,
and titanium/carbon bikes of the past several decades. I can not stress
enough how great the people at Blue bikes have been. I was drawn to
them by the straight forward ideology and interactions I had with
their staff. Instead of just trying to sell their bikes they wanted
to make sure that it was the right bike for me and that I was comfortable
with who I was purchasing the bike from and where I would be getting
service from. They are supporting USAT and also several individual
triathlons. I asked them for the sponsorship because I wanted to ride
a bike that was affordable to the everyday triathlete and still had
near top of the line technology and benefits. Without question the
Blue Triad has been the best triathlon bike I have ever ridden..
Rudy
Project has filled the gap for me in finding the right
eye wear. Ask any optometrist and they will tell you quality sunglasses
are a must. I had tried several other name brands and only a few worked
but none fit my face correctly. In the end I had resigned myself to
spending significant amounts of money for a pair of sunglass specifically
designed for Asian faces. Then by chance I stumbled on a Rudy Project
dealer and tried on a few of their glasses. With in a week I was contacting
them about ordering a few pairs for myself. I currently race with
the Sportmask Perfomance. These sunglasses are amazingly light, handle
airflow great on the bike and never fog up.
What
it takes to get me to the finish line.
Not just for
triathlons.
A little about
me as a triathlete.
