what cool new tri stuff did you get for Christmas?

I'm pretty much set on tri gear, but I did buy some items for my future training partners -- bike computers, saddle bags and tail lights.  I guess I also picked up a couple things for myself including some spinerval DVDs since I am riding less outdoors due to work schedule right now.

Every year my wife spoils me.  I am so blessed I can't believe it.  This year she got me some CEP compression socks, a headlamp called a Magicshine that is 550 lumen, a running jacket with built in LED lights, and the best of all, she had our fridge in the garage converted into a kegerator.  I now have unlimited draft beer.

Winner!??!

Pretty cool stuff everyone.  My wife got me the new Newton Boco AT's which I asked for.(Going to try them out today on the snowy/icey trails)  Also got some cycling clothing, running tights, bike gloves.  My mother and father got me quite a bit of stuff too.  Another new pair of Newton Gravity's for when my current pair gets wore down.  A waterproof Ipod shuffle thing for swimming with..(not sure how I will like that, she loves her's while she is swimming but I do sets and stuff while she just does laps...who knows), and lots of other odd's and ends of things.  It was a very blessed Christmas.  I enjoyed watching my three year old open gifts.  He thinks he is Thor now since Santa got him a big plastic hammer that looks like Moljnir or however you spell it.

A commemorative Savageman brick, TopPeak Alien 2 Cycling Multi-tool, Zinn & the Art of Triathlon Bikes, Triathlon Science by Joe Friel & Jim Vance, The Longest Race by Ed Ayres, a foam roller, a Park Tool chain scrubber, and my wife took a bunch of my race bibs and matted them on canvases in collages to make wall art.

Nada, nothing, zilch.

But I gave a garmin edge 500, a powertap wheelset, a garmin 110, 2 pairs of rudy project glasses,  a rudy wingspan, 2 TYR backbacks,  and assorted cold weather ride/run gear.  I feel absolutely blessed to be able to do that.

No one else in my family are into triathlon, so they don't know what I need, or want.  They just gave me a gift card to Sports Authority, which is fine with me.

It looks like a toss up on the winner being you or Popsracer. Giving is really cool, but so is unlimited beer.

Timex GPS watch for me, now to figure out what all I can do with it.

My wife put together a 40 page book on Shutterfly of my IMAZ 2013 experience.  It is really amazing.

Other than that, I did get some comfy sweat pants.
