My Current Gear List

Hey so as i go along i'll be updating my gear list, let me be the first to say that this sport is ridonkulously expensive! so if you want to get into it and arent flush do a purchase plan, buy second hand etc etc Watch Nike Plus with GPS: This Magnificent watch has really helped me with my running and cycling! it monitors everything on your run so you can really push harder and the webpage shows your routes run thanks to the TomTom GPS!!! Its great but limited when it comes to swimming. i linked the nike account to endomondo and i can now differentiate the trainings between cycling and running as the nike website only measures "running" so its awesome when the watch reads that i have done a 60km "RUN" in 2h10min hehehe Running Shoes : New Balance 759 Cycling Axis A90 Mountain Bike with Shimano Cleat Pedals Axis AR50 Road Bike with Shimano Cleat Pedals(mountain bike pedals) Bell Helmet Olympic Mpuntain Bike Riding shoes Pearl Izumi Winter Insulated Riding Gloves **NOTE** at present i am using the mountain bike shoes and pedals on the race bike as they do the same job, albeit that the are heavier but also that at the moment i dont have moola to buy racing bike shoes and pedals Profile Design T1+ Aero Bars ISM Prologue Saddle.....(IF YOU CAN AFFORD ONE GET IT!!!! ITS SO COMFY IN AERO POSITION!!!!) First Ascent Cycle Shorts Mr Price Long Leg Cycle Pants(Surprisingly very comfy) Camelbak - Donated by my brother....thanks greg **NOTE** various bits and bobs from chain cleaner to lube to saddle bag, puncture kit and spare tubes etc etc etc etc can set you back quite alot quite quickly without you even realizing) Giant Control Tower Pump with pressure Gauge!!! u have to get one! makes life so much easier!!! * Thanks Gill* Bike rack for the car....Greg found one at a thrift store for literally nothing! Thanks Again Swimming Speedo Half length swimming shorts(i refuse to wear a banana hammock!!) Latex Swimming Cap 2XU T:3 Wetsuit 2XU Trisuit Mr Price Goggles(Also work really well!! for a cheapy ) So what you can see from all this is that i dont have a monster budget to buy gear but i am very happy with all my gears performance so far!!!
