You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
I see tostitos!!! Good man. I could so eat at the Rainmaker household.
There’s a running group sandwich joke to be made here somewhere ;)
Maybe there is something good in that FedEx truck!
Gees, good thing a more honest type found that!
Hmmm, ice cream!
Hey!
And it is Bryer’s All Natural! It is the only ice cream I can eat any more because it does not contain corn sryup.
I’m flying in to have you cook me dinner!
I think I’d buy the entire store after 4 hours of training. I wish they had free samples at all grocery stores, because you could load up on those and actually be able to think before you throw random foods into the cart.
You spent a lot of money to save some money. We’ve all done that. My house is full of that stuff.
Your Tuesday just wore me out!
Hmmmm, $100 of Tostitos, milk, jam, ice cream and ground meat. Looks like a listener ingredient list for a recipe challenge for Lynne Rossetto Kasper on the “Splendid Table”.
LOL at the grocery basket. I have been so guilty of that. Nice swim with the coach. It looks like you got some tips to work with, I think?! j/k
That was a busy workout day. I am bowing down over here!
Poor Fed Ex man is thinking where in the world did I leave it?
100 bucks? That’s nothing. These days I rarely get out of the store spending less the 200. :)
(of course I’m shopping for five…)
You are doing SO much mileage/yardage. It’s amazing. You’re going to blow them away at IM Canada.
How’d you get in, btw? Did you fly there to sign up last year?
Thanks for the computrainer lesson. Definitely helped to clarify.
and ice cream! tostitos and ice cream! yummm!
It’s time to have a bloggers’ dinner party–at YOUR PLACE!
i laughed out loud at the FedEx thing. I’m betting that the cool present I bought you must be on that truck.
So, what did Fedex bring?
$100 is like a normal shopping week here in NYC. Damn you, Whole Paycheck.
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the GPS, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://gps-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
The $10 turning to $100 – that’s the story of my shopping life. And, that’s without my kid tagging along!
So, now I have to ask u – what in the world do u think about for 90 minutes of swimming in a pool? Much less all that biking and running such long distances?
