My Gear

My New Nike Zoom Structure Triax +12 Running Shoes. Found a great deal on Road Runner Sports. (http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/roadrunnersports/NIK1262?wid=438&hei=432&fmt=jpeg&qlt=75,0&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=1.1,1.0,5,0&iccEmbed=0)

My Road Bike, A 2008 Giant OCR3 (http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-US/bikes/road/1243/29271/zoom/). I have about 800 miles on it so far and not a problem. Just bought an aero bar (http://www.performancebike.com/bikes//Product2_10052_10551_1033652_-1) to aid the triathlon quest. I also have added a computer to the mix, a Cateye Strada Cadence (http://www.cateye.com/en/product_detail/407). I purchased clipless pedals and road shoes earlier this summer. I got the 2008 Specialized Sport Road Shoe (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=40324) and the Crank Brothers Candy Pedals. (http://www.crankbrothers.com/candy.php)
Always on the lookout for cheap bibs or bike shorts and jerseys. Just bought the Performance Ultra II bib (http://www.performancebike.com/bikes//Product2_10052_10551_1071114_-1)

The swim leg is a little lacking right now, but it's not a big priority. I can get by with my cheap Nike Goggles and Dolphin Swim Trunks for now. I am on the lookout for sweet wetsuit deals though, so if you see one hook me up!

Nutrition wise I am pretty lost right now but I am doing some research. I am going to attempt in the next few months to really cut down on my sugar. I seem to notice spikes in energy followed by a lull after sugar so if I can gain some consistency and control my energy levels a little better that would be nice. Dairies and meats seem to have been giving me a little trouble as well, so a cut back/off might be in order.
