This week we look closer at the K-Swiss Blade Light running shoes, the Sugoi RS cycling shorts, the Waterman’s Applied Science sunscreen and the popular magnetic Buckyballs.

Conrad Stoltz is back to his winning ways and added the XTERRA Southeast title to his resume. With her win in the women’s race, Shonny Vanlandingham proved that she is indeed the one to watch.
Terenzo Bozzone ran down Andrew Yoder to win the 2010 edition of the 70.3 Eagleman and thus successfully defended his title. Fellow Kiwi Sam Warriner also had a great race and took the women’s title leading from start to finish.
Emma Snowsill rocked to a win with a fantastic come from behind performance at the 2010 ITU Hy-Vee triathlon cup and earned $200,000 in the process. Emma Moffatt was second and Helen Jenkins rounded out the podium.
Brit Tim Don bolted away from his competitors early on in the run to win the Hy-Vee ITU Elite Cup event in Des Moines, Iowa and a $200,000 check. Kiwi Kris Gemmell was second and Aussie Courtney Atkinson grabbed third.

This weekend Melanie McQuaid is defending her XTERRA Alabama title and after her recent win at XTERRA Italy looks good and ready to do so. Meet the Canadian Pro with a very amazing attitude.
After out-sprinting Chris Lieto to the finish in 2009, Craig Alexander had to hold off a late charge by Ben Hoffman to win 70.3 Boise 2010 by 10 seconds. Julie Dibens took the women’s title despite a hard effort by Linsey Corbin to run her down.
Eneko Llanos took the top podium spot at the 2010 Tri Grand Prix Basque Country event in Zarautz, Spain. Catriona Morrison defeated Leanda Cave and Mirinda Carfrae in the women’s race.
If you took an Emma to win, that would be a crafty bet; but this oddsmaker fool had to pick one and it’s Snowy. Daniela, Barbara, Andrea, Helen, two Sarahs and Laura will hotly dispute.
Can Simon Whitfield repeat? Will Jan Frodeno put down his Olympic sprint hammer? Will Bevan Docherty break out of his runner-up rut? Can Courtney Atkinson ride his hot streak?
Australian sports photographer Delly Carr has been around the triathlon world for quite some time now and his images are truly stunning. The humble Aussie recently was bestowed a great honor and we had a few words with him.
