The Swonder Direct, iSUP (inflatable stand up paddleboard)

 

Using a stand up paddle board is very fun.  Once you get your balance figured out, it really becomes a great workout. Using your legs, arms and abs. 

I look to take this inflatable stand up paddle board many places.  

When you get on the water, it can bring you places you never imaged.

Crash Pads

To add that little bit of confidence on a mountain bike trail I have not ridden or still trying to master I wear Crash Pads Mountain Bike Shorts and Pants.  The pants provide protection of the shin and knee but both the pants and shorts provide great hip protection. The padding in the hip is made from thermal formed, high density foam.  The great quality made in the USA, Crash Pads keep me from getting too banged up and able to keep up my training in the pool and out running.  When the weather or I plan on riding a more difficult trail for me, I tend to wear the pants. 

What does not kill you makes you stronger

What does not kill you makes you stronger. This is very true.  Over the past month and a half, I have been pretty much riding my rollers at home.  Inside the house or outside in the driveway while I watch my kids play outside. 
I went out on the road for a ride on Saturday afternoon, a quick out 7 miles and back 7 miles.  I can definitely say that working out on the rollers has helped me in many ways.
The rollers, like a treadmill, might be boring, but with them I have been able to improve my strength on form on the bike.
I have the bike set up on the rollers with my Miowatch Quest, a GPS enabled heart rate monitor, which while riding I have placed on the handlebars. I have the alarm set on the watch to help tell me when I am in my training zone I need to be in.

I could feel my form on the bike was more efficient, even though it was only a short 14 mile ride. 

RecoFit Compression sleeves

I am very impressed with an would highly recommend RecoFit Compression sleeves for both your calves and arms.  Let me begin with the calf sleeve.  I trained with and used them during the second half of last season.  They helped my legs during training keep up with the numerous running miles I was putting in.  I was super impressed with how I was able to wear them under my wetsuit on race day and they stayed in place and caused no issues during the swim or bike segments.  Each calf sleeve is marked either right or left leg as they are leg specific for the proper fit.  Next on to the arm sleeves with Icefil fabric.  On race day the temperature was in the high 90's with the sun out in full force, I was glad I had these on.  For one to block the sun, not putting any sunscreen on and second was the feeling when they were wet, each one was it's own evaporative cooler. They have a 50-plus UV protection factor and are white. The elastic on both ends kept them in place and didn't have to worry about them slipping up or down.
To help my recovery after the race I wore the calf sleeves around under my clothes for a few days afterword to help with circulation.  Of course I washed them and hung them to dry before doing so. If you are in the market for compression gear RecoFit will not let you down.
