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.
I’d like to give optical HR a try.
I want this…
Oh please, let me win something this year! It’ll make me feel slightly better about breaking my elbow over the weekend…
Nice!!! Count me in!!!
Awesome site, hoping for a chance to win.
I hope I win!!
Pick me please!
Thank you for the oppurtunity.
Fingers crossed! Thanks.
I thought it is worth a try :)
Boy that watch sure would look great with the rest of my gear! And I crashed and scratched the heck outta my 910 a couple of months ago too….
Thanks Ray!
Let the festivities begin!
Extravaganza Time! Yeah!!!
Thinking that would look good on my wrist!
And so it begins!
Yes please!
Hope I win this one!!
I would LOVE this!
What a way to start off the giveaways.
Needing a new watch, the Garmin 310XT has officially bitten the dust!
That should be an improvement over my 310 XT !
Let the craziness begin!
Yay! Here we go!!!! Great giveaway!
Need a new watch
Great start to the giveaway!
See Ben run. Run Ben run!
Fenix please. :)
I’ve been eyeballing this exact watch vs the 235 because it might push me into trail running then ultras. I’m scared of winning. My wife would be so sad/happy for weekends.
Looks good
Yes please, time for an upgrade!
Holy moly. This is the start? Wow. DCRainmaker day is going to be good this year!
Lets do this bruh!
This is by far the most capable and attractive watch created to date
We need this!!
Hi Ray, thank you for the giveaway!
I need a watch to call me out on my laziness! :-)
One of these would be a real boost for my training, it would go with my new powertap G3 nicely and get me on track for the Long course World Championships in September.
Looking forward to the excitement.
It would be great to have it
Thanks Ray and CT!
I’m in!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I am going to use this for my marathon training which I am running 9/10/16, it’ll be #5. I love your website, your reviews are second to none. Yes I am trying to compliment my way to a win, but the compliments are genuine. I look forward to commenting several times over the next 24 hours.

Ooooh … My precious!
Would love one!
Pick me! Pick me!
So excited
Would love one :)
Hi Ray!
Love the facts that the Garmin Fenix3 HR has the “you are lazy” feature. For more motivation, it could also tell me that I am fat, too. Fortunately for me, I have my mom to tell me that.
Sweet watch!
Dream watch…you will be mine! (please!) :)
Oh yeah. No sleep tonight!
Yeeeeessss!
That should be an improvement over my 310 XT !
10x
Yep, could use that one :)
Ray, great first item! I only hope I can wake myself up enough over the first few items to get a chance at the next ones.
Sweet! I know this would make me way faster!
