Ironman Wish List – Part 3

This wish list will be dedicated to the biking, as a new cyclist I still have a lot to learn about biking and it’s gear but here are some things that I have or wish I had.

A full carbon TT bike.

My choice is the Talon!

ANYTHING from Betty Designs!!!

I love all her stuff, so freakin cute!

Aqualite Drink System

This makes it SO much easier to keep hydrated while keeping your speed up (or not veering into traffic)

Bento Box

You need a place to stash your treats while riding!

Specialized Tri Shoes

I have specialized road shoes now and love them, I would like to upgrade to tri specific shoes eventually.

Snickers Bars

These would be great stocking stuffers! I love snickers and I feel NO guilt eating them while riding my bike.

Full Disclosure, I am not sponsored by any of these companies and have not received anything from them, I genuinely like these products and think you would like them too.

If you like free stuff check out SR giveaway for BIC bands

Ironman Wish List – part two

Time for the second installment of my ironman wish list. You can find part one here. This list will be dedicated to swimming:

A cute swimsuit from Splish


This would really help motivate me to go to the pool.

H2O Audio Interval Waterproof Headphone System for iPod Shuffle

This would help make the time FLY by in the pool!
Timex Ironman Run Trainer

I know this says “run” in the title but it looks like this watch would work great in the pool. Check out what it includes
» SiRFstar IV™ GPS Technology for Quick, Reliable Performance
» Pace, Distance and Heart Rate in Real Time
» Customizable Display with up to Four Data Lines
» 15-Workout Downloadable Memory with Dated Summary
» Hands-Free Chronograph Operation
» Five Interval Timers with Optional Warm Up / Cool Down
» Alerts for Heart Rate, Pace and Mode
» Hydration and Nutrition Reminders
» Recovery Heart Rate Timer
» Countdown Timer
» 5 Alarms
» Compatible with ANT+™ Foot Pod Sensors
» 8-Hour Battery in Full GPS Mode
» Water-Resistant to 50 Meters
» INDIGLO® Night-Light
Anyone tried out this watch yet?

TYR swimbag
This would be great to lug all your fun “pool toys” as Cory calls them back and forth to the pool.

Sharkies
Could there be a more appropriate way to refuel during a long pool workout??? I think not!

What’s on your swim wish list?

Ironman Wish List – Part 1

It’s the start of holiday shopping and obviously Ironman gear is at the top of my list. I decided that I would start a Ironman wish list series. While I don’t expect to get everything on my wish list it’s fun to dream. If you have a Ironlady (or any triathlete/runner) in your life this may be helpful.

2XU Recovery compression tights


Product description: With Graduated Compression engineering to promote maximum blood flow, the 2XU Recovery Compression Tights utilize next generation PWX POWER fabric for greater pressure and recovery benefits by improving blood circulation and removal of blood lactates for faster muscle repair. Graduated compression, with higher levels in the lower leg, encourages maximum blood flow return toward the heart and “flushing” of the muscles. The Recovery tight can easily be worn discretely under clothes to recover while at work, home, or school. In addition to daily post activity wear, the Recovery tight is comfortable enough to sleep in for maximum recovery aid. Our exclusive Antibacterial treatment minimizes odor and will not wash out of the garment. (source)

Recovery is so important for endurance athletes and these tights get great reviews!

Rev 3 Bikini


This will help me stay motivated to eat right and work on my 6 pack 2 pack

Garmin Forerunner 405 Water Resistant Running GPS


This is a fantastic training tool and is water resistant so you could wear it during a triathlon. I don’t currently have a GPS and think I may need to upgrade soon.

Momentum II Softshell Jacket from Salomon


Light weight warm-up SOFTSHELL jacket combining wind-resistance and breathability. Ideal for active nordic skiing or winter training. (source)

This jacket is nice and bright and would be great to get me through those long winter bike rides…please Santa!!!
nuun Strawberry Lemonade


This would make a great stocking stuffer, I love nuun and go through it very fast.

What is on your wish list?
