This Germany company is a behemoth, making shoes for athletes in sports many people have never heard of. They were on the right track with their ’09 running collection, and their ’10 Spring line is even more promising.
This is your final week. Your race is upcoming, you’re in the “taper” and the training is mostly done. Let’s talk a little bit about where you go from here, shall we?
I was educated as a computer science engineer. I spent long nights searching for misplaced semicolons and fussing over finicky EPROMs. Thank the Good Lord I am now a race director.
The Ace, at 7.3oz in a size-9 men’s, is a very lightweight trainer that gives a reasonable amount of cushioning and stability in a neutral shoe. Keep in mind, it’s a neutral shoe.

The Mana is the shoe for those who might want to run in the Adizero, but, need a bit of medial posting. Just keep in mind that posting comes at a price: a slightly harder feel.
So you think only the big boys can have a concept store? Not so. Elite Bicycles, that scrappy Philly bike maker, opens Elite Bicycles Singapore.

Ironman announced and retracted a set of swim apparel rule changes over a 24 hour period, reminiscent of a compression sock incident during 2009.
Where do you think most American triathletes live? In which states? Cities? Metro areas? If your best guesses are based on what you thought a decade, or even five years, ago, you’ll be surprised.
The Slowtwitch publisher was asked to write the feature article in the 2009 Interbike Show Guide. Interbike, the bike industry’s premier trade show, allowed us to reprint the feature here.
Featuring a sleeked down silhouette, this Asics contains support features popular in Asics motion control shoes, but at a lighter weight than many of the motion control anchors on the market.
