DVD Review - Swimming Techniques in Action - Alan Lynn
By Richard Coleman
Overall a very good DVD, very informative and some excellent demonstrations from Alan's swimmers. Intially I was confused as to who exactly this DVD was aimed at, my opinion now is that it's aimed at club swimmers and their coaches. However, if that is the case then why does the introduction concern itself with explaining lane ropes, swimming costumes, goggles etc. ? Basics that raise a chuckle but actually only serve to devalue this excellent DVD.

DVD Review - Triathlon Techniques in Action - Steve Trew
By Josie Perry
This DVD could almost be made by Ronseal: it does what it says on the tin. Running through swimming, cycling, running and core work, Steve Trew uses age-group athletes to illustrate the techniques he believes are key for triathlon. Knowing where to aim a DVD like this must be difficult; complete beginners or experienced age-groupers? Trew seems to have gone for the middle ground: those who’ve done a few races and are now looking at how to improve. More experienced racers however would still pick up a few tips and renew some focus on some good technique sessions to try out.

Ceepo Bikes
Japanese top triathlon bike brand Ceepo will be launching a range of triathlon specific bikes at TCR next February on the Sigma /2XU stand. All the Ceepo bikes are designed and manufactured by triathletes for triathletes. The ethos of the company is to design superior frames that are both aerodynamic and yet comfortable to ride. As to be expected the seat angle is an aggressive 77 degrees, which keeps the hip angle open to allow more powerful pedalling while in an aero race position. The extremely narrow tear drop tubing and seat pillar combine with the closed rear wheel arch to reduce drag to a minimum and maximize aerodynamics for both long and short course triathletes alike. The down tube is only 26mm in width while the seat and chain stay measures just 12mm !!

Review of Lewiskit T4 Softshell Jacket
By: Cobbie
Lewiskit asked me to review their new £70 T4 softshell jacket at the end of November and I’ve been wearing it for the last month, enough I think to review, though I had intended to test it in rainy conditions which have not materialised. It’s advertised as a jacket with a windproof , water repellent outer layer (“WindshieldTM”) bonded to soft, warm fleece; suitable for biking, running or relaxing. My first impression was that it would also be ideal for walking and rock climbing with it’s shaped fit and flexibility in the shoulder area…but I’m getting ahead of myself.

LewisKit Merino Wool Socks
By: LittleFatWelshman
I have just completed a significant order on behalf of my club for some awesome chunky throw and hoodies from the Lewis Bod's. Well low and behold amongst the order was a pair of the new socks that they have been going on about. Now I am not one to get too excited about some socks - surely a sock is sock, BUT...... On this occasion I am going to get all weepy.
The flippin things are brilliant. Not just because they were free (I hope it wasn't an oversight on Lewis's part and they will want them back) but they really are a lovely fit. They even have a less dense part around the bend in your foot - dont know (or care) what the technical name for this part of the foot is. I am wearing them now and my tootsies (sorry if this is too techy) are toastie.
As it is traditional (fact) for blokes to have socks for Christmas, I want these. So I am going to hint strongly to my missus that instead of the usual 3 pack from M and S I want these little babies. End of commercial - only thing left to say is that if Messrs Lewis want some other stuff tested and technically commented on - well you have my address.....
