Open Ocean Tracking and Rescues
Taking a cellphone with you out to sea is fast becoming standard safety equipment. They’s small enough, practical, and in the right waterproofing, life saving. However, besides using the phone to talk through your situation, phones have another very useful feature: GPS. Enter, Guardian. It tracks your GPS position (much the same as any other [...]
Getting In The Way
I’ve encountered a few potential athletes (not in the professional sense, but in the weekend-warrior sense) give up a “would-love-to-do” sport (or even race) because of the costs involved. And that always puzzled me until I digged a little deeper to understand exactly what (they thought) the costs were… To get out and running on [...]
XTERRA Vendetta 2011 Review
Open water swimming is special. There’s something quite primitive about it- much like trail running I guess. It’s just you (mostly) and the environment. Of course, being surrounded by the cold waters of the Atlantic, a wetsuit is necessary, for me at least. And over time, I have collected and abused an array of wetsuits [...]
So You Want To Run Minimal, Barefoot, Natural?
I don’t need to go into the hype-or-not-you-decide of barefoot running. There’s already too much out there. For a lot of under-the-radar runners though, barefoot or minimal or natural running was a way of life long before it became a product you could sell. For me, it was largely due to injury and the choices [...]
Inov-8 f-lite 195 Review
After some searching for a neutral, minimal trail running shoe, Donovan recommended I try the f-lite 195 by Inov-8. Well, how happy am I? The first thing about the shoe is the abbreviation: what is f-lite? Does f stand for “frikin’” lite? “fast” lite? or just a fancy way of say “flight” (f-lite) because that’s [...]
Vibram Bikila Review
Since most my training/racing takes place on the beach, 99.7% of my running in the last 5 years has been barefoot. From grass to sand, occasionally even gravel and on the high tide, pebbles; barefoot running is normal for me, long before it even became a trend. Now at long last there is a shoe [...]

What’s The Purpose Of A Training Gadget
Indeed, what is the point of wearing a strap around the chest, a strap around the wrist, a pod docked to your shoe and some more electronics plugged into your ears? Going out to train or race has become sophisticated or O.T.T. depending on how you see it. What might be considered a slightly humorous [...]

Swim Your Perfect Pace
Pacing is pretty hard. It demands skill, timing, power, fitness and a knowing of thy self, all wrapped up in every moment. And so, to get it right you, likewise, need to work pretty hard at it. The even tougher task is actually knowing wether you’re getting any better at it or not- which is [...]
