Of course everyone knows Boulder is the mecca for triathletes. If you didn't-now you know. SO I thought I'd ask Laura Tingle, resident tri-athlete and TIMEX athlete some of her favorite places to swim, bike and run. If it's good enough for the pro's-it should be plenty fine for you and me.

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11 and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays.

Well, we have a new approach to Lactate Threshold. Yes, another reason to get pricked to get to the most detailed reason as to why your training is not where it perhaps should be. Two guys out of Canada have come up with what they refer to as the "Lactate Balance Point". A basically different percentage of your anabolic threshold. Yes we're back to the Kreb's Cycle so hang on.

Soda water was produced in the home by "charging" a refillable seltzer bottle by filling it with water and then adding sodium bicarbonate. Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottler. These additives are included to emulate the slightly salty taste of homemade soda water.

Yes, a nice feature since we are training on a bike. Wait, someone’s calling me--let me pull my ear phones out, grab my phone and decrease my cadence (and if you can manage all that without decreasing your cadence then join the circus). y, how’d you guys meet? Well, I downloaded my ride one Saturday night and I noticed it was the same route he rode the week before. Then about three weeks later I got a flat and this guy stopped to make sure I had everything. I said yes, although I have my bike computer (that I wish could call 911/bike flat help/AAA/Mars) I also have enough cartridges and spares

FreeStyle Underwater MP3 Playe
If your workout consists of underwater activity, this is a must! Add
your tunes to the world’s first completely shock and waterproof MP3
player. It will keep your body movin’ to over 350 of your favorite
tunes.
Finis Lap Track
Another
one for you swimmers out there: the Finis Lap Track. If you head to a
pool and do laps, then you know that it is super easy to lose track of
how many you've completed. Suction this bad boy to one end of your lane
then hit the button with each pass. Use the easy read number display to
check on how many more you have to go. Cool, huh?
Calorie Counting Jump Rope
If
you jump rope then you are well aware of how tired you get from this
exercise; but just how hard are you actually working? This rope keeps
track of how many rotations you've done and how many calories you've
burned once it's over. Feel the burn and then relax!
Tanita BC 558 Body Scale
It's
amazing how much information you can get from a scale these days. With
this unit you not only get a readout of your weight, body fat, body
water, muscle mass, bone mass, and more, but this is also the only
monitor available in the U.S. that gives you segmental body composition
readings, meaning you can get separate readings from your left arm,
right arm, left leg, etc. Pretty cool - especially if you’re focused on
training a specific body part.
More gadgets after the jump...

Physiological footwear
denotes shoes that have a number of positive effects not only on the foot but
on the whole body. MBT is the first physiological footwear. Masai Barefoot
Technology is patented worldwide. The shoes were created after studying the Masai tribe from East Africa. Karl Muller, the inventor of MBT, observed
that because the Masai walked on soft, instable ground, they were forced to use
their body to maintain balance. This balancing act, apparently, is good for
strengthening core muscles and promotes good posture. To simulate walking on a
soft surface such as sand or soft moss, Karl created the MBT shoe line with a
rounded, curved sole to force the wearer to balance themselves like the members
of Masai.

Under Armour has come up with another great training product.
After years of research, development and collecting insights from athletes and consumers, the Performance Trainers – Under Armour’s first line of non-cleated footwear – hit store shelves
on 5.3.08. Engineered with Directional Cushioning Engineering (DCE™)
the trainers are designed to provide maximum support and propulsion,
filling the void of the lack of proper footwear for training needs.
After moving athletes out of cotton-soaked clothing and into
moisture-wicking performance apparel, the Performance Trainers are the
product that will take training to the next level. No longer do people
have to perform all their training and exercises in one-dimensional
running sneakers or basketball sneakers.
For women, they are
available in two prototypes, each with a specific purpose to maximize
training. The Proto Speed™ Trainer builds pure linear speed and the
Proto Evade™ Trainer improves the ability to build quick side-to-side
lateral motion.
UA Proto Evade™ and UA Proto Speed™ Trainers are available for women and youths.
Retail prices range from $80 - $90; colors will vary.
