Wish List - Triathlon Gadgets & Stuff

Well, here is yet another post about triathlon gadgets. This time It is about a few items I do not have (yet) but I am looking to get sometime this season.  Here we go:



Garmin Forerunner 910XT
The perfect watch for the Triathlete.
My 310XT is acting up after 2 years,
so I may give it to my wife and
get me this one by the summer.
Full review here

BikeBoxAllan - Box Case
With the E118 I cannot afford to take
it on the soft case I have. I need this
box to protect the E118 on my
travellings. Full review here.


Garmin Edge 800
The best bike GPS computer! Not
much left to say. Full review here.

Argon18 - Gallium Pro 2012


My E118 is not allowed on some
 races, and I also need a road bike
 to train. This bike is my dream  road
 bike, and its an Argon 18!
What else can I say?
Zipp Sub 9 Disc Wheel
A disk for my E118 is a must, specially
for the 70.3 and full IM distances.
No other disc is better than the Sub 9.



Now, I will come back to update this page if/when I buy any of these! Gotta save up BIG TIME!

Back in the UK - New Toys from Wiggle!

Garmin GSC10 Sensor
Just landed back in London and got the best welcoming anyone could get.  Both my daughters came out to the backyard running into my hugs.  Nothing beats that!

After all the unpacking and playing with my girls Sonia tells me my wiggle order had arrived.  This was my Garmin CSC10 cadence sensor and my Quick   Release Mounting Kit.   I spent about two hours on both of them, mostly on the cadence sensor.  I spent some time online looking for some forums on issues I was having as the lights on the sensor were not flashing nor was the watch showing any info on cadence details.

Apparently you need to pay close attention to the sensors and the magnets.  My issue was that the magnets were a bit further apart and that was causing the lights to not flash.  Also, I needed to synch the forerunner 310xt and change exercise mode to Bike1.  Cadence sensor working and quick release kit hooked on the handle bar, I was ready to give it a go.  I tried both the Bike1 and Multisport function and the cadence readings were on the spot.  Now I obviously have try on the road with a proper ride, but thats for another blog post.
