Tri Stuff I Want - June 2015 Edition

Here's a compilation of items I've been staring at longingly this month - enjoy!

1. Arm Coolers: I just figured that since I've lost the CrossFit "fluff" and am back to my fighting weight that I wouldn't run so darn hot. Think again! So, now that it's starting to warm up in Southern California, I'm thinking that arm coolers might help my cause. I've been looking at this pair by Sugoi and this pair by Zoot Sports.

2. Women's Velocio-SRAM Pro Cycling Kit: I usually don't like "plain" kits, but I really like this one. It doesn't hurt that the vest is bright red. :)

3. Sugoi Women's RS Pro Bib Shorts: I love how bib shorts don't cut into your waist and are generally more comfortable than regular cycling shorts. However, for women, traditional bib shorts make bathroom breaks awkward and time-consuming. More and more cycling apparel companies have realized this and have created a variety of different solutions. Velocio sells shorts with a zipper in the rear that are pretty pricey. Endura also sells shorts with zipper in the rear that are much more affordable, but I'm having a hard time picturing where the zipper is and there aren't any stores around me that stock them. Sugoi's shorts have received good reviews and I like how there aren't any zippers to cause potential chafing issues. Now I just have to patiently wait for them to go on sale.

4. Smith Overtake Helmet in Neon Pink: It's a helmet that is pink and vents well. What more could a girl ask for?

5. FlapJacked Carrot Spice Pancake & Baking Mix: I'm a huge fan of the Cinnamon Apple flavor, so I can't wait for Amazon to start carrying the Carrot Spice flavor too! I've had great success making a modified version of the Spiced Apple Oat Bread recipe on their website into tasty pre-workout muffins that give me sustained energy without making me feel like there's a brick in my stomach.

I hope you enjoyed my monthly picks! Please note that all these links are for products that I just happen to think are pretty cool. There are a few Amazon Affiliate links, but I am not compensated by the companies for featuring their product(s).
