 As triathletes, we pride ourselves on coordinating all aspects of our
kit, from shoes and visors to handlebar tape and water bottles. Jesse

accessory to any kit, but aside from looking stylish, they are extremely

competitors, if you understand how to incorporate lens technology in
with your racing and training.

the race of his life, and while the announcers literally don’t know his
name, crosses the finish line to win. Read More...
