Product Reviews

Darn Tough Socks
On 11/25/2011, Author Mark
Road cycling is full of traditions that don't really exist in triathlon.  Many of those traditions are just silly but some are worth thinking about.  Wool clothing is one of those worth a look.  In particular, wool socks can be an excellent choice for ... <more>


Bike Glow
On 8/23/2011, Author Mark
For about eight years, nearly all of my weekday bike riding took place in dark morning hours before dawn. Riding in the dark presents a host of issues to deal with not the least of which is lighting - you need to see and you need to be seen. Bike Glow ... <more>


Straces Shoe Laces
On 3/9/2011, Author Mark
Over the years, I’ve tried a few different speed lacing systems for running shoes but I always come back to plain old laces.  I’m not sure why, but it’s never been that big a deal to tie my shoes in T2.  Perhaps I’m not fast enough for a few seconds to ... <more>


SLIK and SLATHER
On 12/19/2010, Author Mark
Let me start by saying that in my opinion, SLATHER and SLIK are quality products offered at an outstanding value.  They are simple products from the users perspective - apply as directed, go swim, ride and/or run and the products work as advertised at ... <more>


Teeter Hang Ups Long Term Test
On 11/2/2010, Author Mark
I don’t really know where to start except the beginning - on TV.  For a while, I’d seen Roger Teeter on TV talking about his Teeter Hang Ups inversion table.  On more than one occasion, I’d been to their web site and read about inversion and the benefits ... <more>


Kinesys Sunscreen
On 11/1/2010, Author Mark
Confession time.  A long time ago (years) Kinesys sent TgR some of its 30 SPF Sunscreen Spray and Sun Protection Stick.  My intention was to use the product and publish a review.  While I did use the products and begin the process of writing the review, ... <more>


Zym Electrolyte Drink Tabs
On 11/1/2010, Author Mark
We need to consume three things in varying ratios when training and racing - fuel, water and electrolytes.  Water is pretty easy but past that, how much of what and when to consume it becomes more complicated when considering fuel and electrolytes.   ... <more>


Epix Triathlon Gear
On 9/13/2010, Author Mark
One of the cool things about TgR is that we often get a chance to meet folks in smaller companies who are simply passionate about multisport. (Yes, I know I mention that regularly but it’s true).  It’s not that we are against big companies, but we know ... <more>


Kuat NV Bike Rack
On 6/23/2010, Author Mark
I've tried about every sort of bike rack on many different vehicles over the years. By far, my favorite way to carry a bike on the outside of a vehicle is via a hitch mounted platform carrier that contacts the bike only at the wheels. I've used racks ... <more>


EZ Bike Products - EZ Bike Stand
On 2/2/2010, Author Mark
Most of us will lean our bikes most anywhere and time after time, they fall over.  Heck, I have multiple work stands around my house but at least one bike is usually leaning against something it shouldn’t be (walls, furniture).  In the search for ... <more>
