A new iPad so I can stop stealing the wife’s computer for Zwifting. My old iPad wouldn’t support zwift...too old.

EzyDog Road Runner Dog lead to run with my pretty well behaved dog hands-free (I hope; have not tested yet). A replacement Garmin HRM chest strap (elastic shot after about 2 years). Nathan bottle and waist harness that holds the bottle in the small of your back. Plenty of non-training stuff. But I did buy myself three new pairs of Zoot shoes from Shoebacca (with all the discounts, about $75 for all three pairs!). So many packages arriving over the last 2-3 weeks, spouse never noticed the giant Shoebacca box - or didn't ask about it!

Having already purchased the new Trek SC this year and prepaying our annual ski winter in Montana, the discretionary fund was heading in the same direction as the S&P 500 (not counting today's dead cat bounce). The wife said "let's not exchange gifts this year" but I know what that really means...

Some nice warm base layer stuff, new ski gloves and boot heaters for me.

New Oakley MIPS helmet for the Mrs.

Nice family gathering with a rack O' lamb dinner, no stress and ready for ski season. I've gained about 5 lbs but that only helps me ski faster.

An Apple watch! Looks like I have a replacement for my Vivoactive HR. It arrives on Friday, looking forward to trying it out for training w/Zwift and Training Peaks.

Absolutely nothing. We are going to China for 16 days in March so we are saving the money for that.

In terms of gear, my wife got me a Premier Bike chain and some water botttles. I just registered for IM Norway and paid for six nights in the ‘host’ hotel - does that count as a Christmas present to me? Still need plane tickets and a bike box - leaning towards the VeloVault box currently.

My wife will have nothing to do with snow whatsoever other than occasionally going outside. No snow blowing, no shoveling, zip. nada. It's all on me!

Oh, but she did get me a profile design svet V carbon base bar for my winter P2 upgrade project. So I'll give her a pass :)

Ooh nice boots. Some Beer Steins are very delicate and ornate, did yours come with a lid or did you go Munich Hofbräuhaus 2l style?

We were in Munich this past October and I didn’t buy one. My parents lived in Germany from 1968-1970 when my dad was stationed in Bamberg. They bought 2 of them then and have been sitting in a China cabinet ever since. Passed on to my wife and I now. The steins are very nice with ornate metal lids.

It was like magic, whenever I was getting on the trainer and needed zwift she would need the computer for something else. Hopefully the iPad resolves this issue and leads to marital bliss.

I got 3 sets of LEGO, a lego table, and a play do barbershop. Well, technically the 3 year old got them, but let’s not kid ourselves :-)

The dog got duck/sweet potato treats and she’s eyeing the ham bone now. She’ll have to wait til the soup is done.

I got the support of my family which is priceless. This sport is expensive and as long as I am able to pursue it with their support and am able to afford it, that is all the gift I need.

Had a goal to have my manuscript completed by Christmas Day and made it with a few days to spare! It's a gift to every athlete that ever had the guts to toe an endurance start line! On the street in March, check out a sample of it at mikereilly.net

Happy New Year, we'll see you at the races!
Mike

I didn’’t get any triathlon gifts, but I did start counting calories on December 12th and lost 10 pounds. I’m very happy with the result. I couldn’t have received a better gift. I feel much stronger everywhere as well. Only 9 more to go!

Wow you got a Husky and a KTM for Christmas, maybe it's a Honda! Your garage looks somewhat like mine, but mines all orange bikes with no Ducati. I know better, but I do have a modified 50cc 2 stroke moped that does 50MPH!

Oh yeah, I got a Garmin forerunner 235, sag checker, and a air pressure gauge.

This is so crucial and too often taken for granted or overlooked in the process. In previous years, people would ask what my husband got me for Christmas. My answer: Permission for next year's race season.
