RaceRanger used by age groupers for the first time at Challenge Wanaka
I've been hoping for RaceRanger to make its way down to us age groupers now that it's proven successful at pro races, so TRI247's account of how it was used at Challenge Wanaka this past weekend is very encouraging; sounds like it went as smoothly as it could possibly have. I'm looking forward to it, not just for draft enforcement, but also for the possibilities it opens for improved safety, like better live tracking and crash detection. Maybe even crash prevention---imagine if you could pair one of these things to your bike computer and have it work like a Garmin Varia, notifying you when someone is passing you (that's very pie in the sky, but hey, I can dream). There's still a ways to go before it's ready for widespread usage, but this is solid progress nonetheless.
CORE introduces a new heat adaptation score
I've had a CORE sensor for a while but my biggest complaint has been that it's hard to understand and act on the data it shows, so for the most part it's been sitting in a drawer. That said, I do like this new heat adaptation score the app now shows front and center. It's nice to have all this data condensed down to an easily digestible metric, and, unlike the heat adaptation metric in Garmin Connect, I can use it to track my indoor heat training. Now let's see if I can get it to 100% before Ironman Canada.

Review: Technogym MyRun
An awesome treadmill backed by an excellent iPad app, but marred by Technogym’s abysmal customer support, which makes it hard to recommend.
