5 Easy Steps To The Site

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.
And that as they say was that!
What fun!
Thanks for posting… I found your video on you tube initially. I’m going to share on my blog… I’ll take it down if you object. Thanks again for coming out to support us. :-)
Pretty cool video… thanks for sharing :)
Where did you get your hands on a 7D with the 15-85? Seems to be out of stock everywhere
Sorry meant 18-55
I had the 18-55 lens from an older Digital Rebel. I picked up the body, oddly enough, from just a local camera store (Penn Camera) after some pre-orders they had fell through.
Thanks for posting that, very awesome video. I saw you out on the bridge while running past, love reading the blog.
Nice, I’m still waiting for my pre-order to come through (amazon fail…).
What intervalometer did you use to get the camera to snap every 2 seconds?
I used this one:
link to amazon.com
You can set it down to as little as 1s (perhaps more, should I read the manual..which is unlikely). Super-easy to use though, definitely recommend it.
How patriotic!
Hey, I saw you during the race and thought, “I wonder if that’s DC Rainmaker, kind of looks like him?”
Cool video, this was a great race to run (and not just because I set a PR!).
MR..Rainmaker it seems that you talent knows no boundaries. triathlete and a digital videographer.. what’s next
rfbr…
OK, All you people running on the sidewalk…there is plenty of room to run on the pavement of the bridge! Get off the sidewalk. You paid an entry fee to run in the streets….so run in the streets!!!
Nice video! I’m in there somewhere :)
That was fun!
