You are obviously a big fan

A stages pm from mom and dad. Gotta love that parents are triathletes aswell.

Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitor to replace Garmin (that regularly gave spikes)

New and bigger fan for indoor training.

Cycling T-Shirt.

Beer :)

I got the Z5 premium yesterday with the same waterproofing as the M4. Do you plan on using it on deck? I was looking for something for immediate feedback while swimming and found the iPad with life proof a bit bulky. IE not post swim analysis but something that athletes can see right away.

Merry Christmas!

None. People know better than to buy tri stuff. How would they to know which one would work for me?

Got a shopvac to tidy up the garage trainer area. Does that count?

I got a smart TV and sound bar for the torture chamber so I can stop using an ancient laptop.
I also got a new hydration vest for my trail runs.

Desoto shorts and sleeved top but my favourite of all was from the kids, a hand hammered wok. I cannot wait to use it.

I had the xperia z1 previously, but I found out some things.

1. The water protection is fine for accidental falls into the water, assuming that the doors are closed. However if you try to get underwater video with it, you will see water intrusion. I did but it never caused a problem. Earlier this year Sony came out and said not to use the phone underwater. I also caught wind that if you try to make a replacement claim and you used it underwater they will say you didn't have the doors closed, won't replace it.

2. but yes, I used my Z1 for instant feedback with swimmers on above water videos, and the one or two times I dropped it while reaching forward to get the good shot, it went in the pool and it's fine. I will use the M4 the same way. I use V1 sports premium for slow motion playback and freeze frame as well - it's the only app I could find for android to do that. It's $5 and well worth it. It's made for golf but served the purpose just fine.

3. Go ahead and lookup Z5 dust cover, or Z5 waterproof cover, or Z5 waterproof door and pay the $10 to have them shipped. Your covers will fall off, matter of when not if. Sony will charge you $80 to replace, but they just slip in there. So have those things sitting in a drawer at your house.

4. On a similar note, for underwater instant feedback the fujifilm xp50 or 60 or 120 or whatever works very well. You can mount it to a 3/4" PVC pole with a pole mount and also get instant feedback with freeze frame right on the camera. The drawback here is that the screen is 2.7", so it's doable but not optimal. I have not yet found another waterproof video camera that has on camera playback with freeze frame and has a larger screen.

Just went to put the Cycliq Fly 6 on my bike.

I have a softride - no seat tube - nowhere to attach the rear facing camera.

I also have a titanflex, maybe the same problem.

Anyone dealt with this!

Got a Surley Fat Bike......Love it. Just need to figure out what pedals and I will be out in the Cold Wisconsin Winter

I registered with the Augusta 70.3 and IMFL package as a Christmas present to myself. Told the wife to NOT go out and buy any other gifts for me, and for once, she listened.

Garmin 920XT to replace my totally functioning, but poorly supported, FR305. (Un)lucky enough to have a birthday earlier this week, so I also have a new Tacx Vortex Smart. No excuse not to train all winter...

Got some base layers for cold weather running!

I bought myself a new bike :)

Wife got me two pairs of goggles, a new rear tire and a Power 2 Max meter. Special Ops 2.0 - clear and Blue Seventy Hydra Vision - yellow. She told me to decide and we would send the others back so I will give them a full season test so I can make the best decision. I really can't take the yellow ones off since it enhances the tv so much. They may become my running glasses, safety work glasses, reading glasses, watching tv glasses, shooting glasses and swimming glasses. The P2M may go back though since my ten minute test ride on the trainer recorded REALLY low power. I guess it could be me but...come on...I have learned a few things on this forum and one of them is it is obviously the equipment.

For the Titanflex there is often enough seat post above the beam (depends on your setup).

Seem to be the only gels that I'm able to train/race on which don't upset my stomach

I have a toolbag there that gets in the way, I checked it.

But the softride is my road bike and the bigger issue, not sure I will be able to get into aero position again, so the titanflex is low priority.

I'd look for a way to lash it to the rear qr lever. That will also address the bounce issue due to the beam.

I bought myself a pair of Tour de France edition jawbreakers

Santa gaved me a front Zipp 808 tubular with a tire for my TT bike........blacked out decals......so sweet!

Thanks Kevin, I knew it said water proof but the fine print says not intentionally water proof. I love the phone but for under water with real time feed back it looks like back to the iPad. We have a go pro but no Wifi at the pool, also tried the under water camera from an athlete but the screen is too small to see for some.

Cheers,
Maurice

I got running shorts, headlamp, gloves, nice breathable sweatshirt!!! It was great

I got this to go on the wall in my pain cave. Big sentimental value for me.. the race came within a few miles of my house and I'm only about 20 mins ride from Holme Moss. Yet I was expecting to miss out because my son was due to be born the same weekend! But the little ripper came 5 days early and I was able to go!


Also got 6 bottes of London craft pale ale. AndSome running gloves. More excited about the ale..

I'm doing placid this summer and will be spending a lot of time on the road so my wife got me additional life insurance. Thanks babe....I think...

Money and gift certificates that I used to purchase a new DeSoto Riviera one piece tri-suit.

I scored a black diamond spot and some running socks. Pretty pumped to not carry a flashlight with me when I run now.

Team Zoot - Great Lakes

Only got kinda pressure......Friels handbook training with powermeter.
Pressure relief short after.......I ordered the vector2s myself.

Splurged and bought myself a PowerBeam Pro (full kit w/ Joule GPS), and a new 105 crankset w/ PowerTap C1 chainrings.

Got some PI Quest bike shorts as a gift.

Bushido for me

I got these two from Santa. Custom Sworks Venge and Sworks Camber. And I've been really bad!

bag of fresh kale

I hate you.

I got a new hydration belt, HR monitor, Fast Orange wipes (I hate greasy fingers), and a spring assist pocket knife to carry when I run. My other one got confiscated at the airport. :-(

I "got" a pair of Conti GP-4000sIIs (read as, my wife intercepted the package and wrapped it).

I also couldn't pass up the Power2Max Boxing Day sale, so I have a new power meter with Praxis rings on the way...

I'm sad I haven't had the money for any of the PM sales. :(

I bought myself a couple pair of running shoes and a winter cycling kit.

I actually bought the kit a couple months back. I've worn it once. I feel cheated.

Garmin Edge 520 arrives Monday. Snagged it for myself for 50% off

Due to the generosity of some unknown benefactor, I was blessed with a rapid weight loss program, undoubtedly designed to help me reach race weight.

Not pretty....two exits, no waiting. Everyone out of the pool NOW!!

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

Pearl Isumi long bibs. Warm all day long

I thought I had everything I needed around early December. Turns out not:

Second pair of Newtons
Two pairs of bike shoes
Another pair of Keywins (final step in a complete shift to them across my bikes)
Three compression tops
Running leggings
Second hand Huub wetsuit.

45Nrth Studded Dillinger tires for my fat bike so I can continue riding outside in the snow and ice. Now it's even tougher to go fast, but at least I'm staying upright.

"For those who understand, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't understand, no explanation is possible."

The wife got me a new Garmin Fenix 3, and a Easton EC90 aero bar for my road bike. Really liking the Fenix 3 so far, haven't got the new handlebar on yet.

Power tap P1 from backcountry. Don't have it yet, website says two weeks....

A ukulele, this is not because I KQ`d, but rather they would rather hear me sing than talk about f``ìng Triathlon.

Kickr and P1''S

Unrelated but as a coincidence, I get my 4th b'day present Tuesday - 20 months since ordering. A saffron frameworks sram cx and Chris king throughout black on black - in fact the whole thing is black - custom cx / gravel / do it all bike. Got photo of it Xmas eve and it looks like the absolute dogs b*locks. (And as much as some people are not fans it is front and rear hydraulic discs and front and rear thru axles)

My GF must be tired of waiting after me at races so she got me 2 things to make me faster:
Zipp disc wheel (I take it as a return on ''engagement ring investment'').
Espresso maker.

Picked up my Slice a week prior and am aiming to ride it every day, Christmas to New Years. So far I LOVE it!

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Well, not that I do much in the way of triathlon anymore other than to daydream about competing in one again, but my parents insisted on paying for the squat rack I plan on purchasing.

Glad to see you are still in the game, Kev.

Mrs. Clause got me a beautiful Zipp Firecrest 808 front tubular for my TT bike.........pretty wicked, can't wait to try it out......

It arrived about a week before and I had a couple of rides on it but put it under the tree anyways from Santa, and that was my Ventum One.

Also Roka Sim shorts and Roka Viper Pro.

I hear squat racks are all the rage in British Columbia this year

More so than Shopkins.

I got a paid entry to grandma's marathon and hotel paid for :)

---

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

Can you post a picture of the Ventum?

Read an article about the Swim IT this fall. Showed it to my spouse at the beginning of Dec knowing that it would end up as a Christmas present. She's all about anything water safety related. Now I have to wait until May, or a winter FL vacation, to try it. I think it would be semi-dorky to test it (I mean actually deploy it) in a pool.

My wife bought me a White Industries T11 rear hub and the accompanying wheel rebuild.
