5 Easy Steps To The Site

In Depth Product Reviews
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.
You’ve got my vote, dude. Yes We Can!
I voted for you!
I voted for you!
15 miles on the track? I was gonna vote for you, but you’re just another crazy white guy :-)
Congratulations on your nomination! I voted for you too! Your election is way more exciting than ours was last month. We had the lowest voter turnout ever. Talk about apathy!
I agree from a nostalgia perspective not going to a polling place to vote is kind of sad. From an efficiency and informed voting perspective being able to look at your ballot and consult the web to inform your decision is a huge win. Plus I didn’t have to stand in line or make others wait while I did that. Its not cool in the places like Colorado where people have had to stand in line for hours just to vote. I have all kinds of respect for the people that still hung in there to do exercise their right to vote.
Congrats on the nomination and for not having to wait in line at all. Seemed to be hit or miss with a bunch of people I talked to. Some walked right in, others had to wait an hour or two. Too bad I don’t work or live near a Krispy Kreme.
good luck ray on this…
congrats on gettting nominated…
I’m sure a bunch of other people nominated you as well, but this site was advertised on a tri site I was looking at.. so I thought for a second and realized I definitely had to nominate you. You’re reviews have been quite helpful!
Good luck!
Guess who I voted for? You… you silly goose :)
Dude, That’s awesome about the blog contest nomination. Keep up the good work!
Oh, and more importantly… You’re from Seattle, right? How the hell do you only own 1 sweatshirt? :)
I voted!
Make it rain!
I cast a vote for you! Good luck! :)
Dude 15 miles on the track is NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe that…I would’ve gone insane. :)
But you still get my vote because I think you and your blog are just awesome.
And i’m glad you voted!!
No polling places?? That is sooo sad! There were so many kids who came with their parents to our precinct and got excited about the voting process. How exciting is mailing something in? Bleck. Good luck on the blog award!
You have my vote. I guess I need to work on my blog so that I get some good reviews. LOL
