What We Have Noticed: Biknd, Quarq, Blazeman…

The countdown has started to the 2009 Ford Ironman Hawaii and here are a few things we have noticed leading up to the event. A unique bike case from Biknd, a data logger from Quarq, the Great Athlete Auction, a new Scott Rigsby book and an Oregon event that has nothing to do with triathlon.
