Book Highlight: REBOUND
If you are in sport long enough, you are going to get injured. It's much better to prepare yourself with the mental skills needed to deal with injury BEFORE an injury occurs so that you have the tools to deal with the injury AFTER it happens. This is a great book to give to your kids to prepare them for athletic life ahead!

Electronics
A smart watch and bike computer are vital to collecting all the important data that you need to train like a pro. I've used all of these and love them.

Swim Gear
All this equipment is important to becoming a better, faster, or safer swimmer. Swim paddles are fantastic for building up your shoulder strength and helping you work on your technique. The tempo trainer helps you work at different turnover rates to find the best one for you. The Roka Swim Skin will help decrease drag in non-wetsuit races and the swim buoy will show boaters that you are swimming in the open water.

Bike Gear
This bike gear will help you get through your training without a hitch. The Giro Aero helmet will keep your head safe while cutting down drastically on wind resistance during races while the Gatorskin Tires are excellent to preventing flat tires during training. You always need a tool kit so that you can tighten your bolts or adjust your seat height from time to time.

Run Gear
You need a good set of running shoes to help you get through your training runs. I use the Adizero Adios Boston Boosts, but you need to find the best shoe that works for you and your body. The lock laces are important for transitioning fast. I'm a huge fan of the flexibility in the Asics men's running tights.

Nutrition
These are the basic nutrition products that I use on a regular basis. Osmo Pre-Load is fantastic for preventing cramps the day before a big event or a hot workout. Gatorade Endurance is on the race course, so you must train your stomach for it. And, you need fast acting carbs! I love the Expresso Gu shots, they will get you through any low period in your training day!

Health and Body
You gotta have body glide to stay comfortable out there on the road. Triathlon is hard enough, you don't need chafing to make it feel harder! It's also important to have a bottle cleaner to clean your water bottles and Simple Green to wipe down your bike.

Household and Cleaning Supplies
As triathletes, our stuff gets really dirty and you are going to need something to help you clean up. Simple Green is the golden standard to help you clean your bike while Soap Suds is the absolute best laundry detergent for sports cloths!Zip Lock Bags (#ad) Simple Green (#ad)

Important Books
These are some of the most influential books I've read on endurance sports and triathlon. You can get inspired with a book like Endure and you can get the knowledge you need to train properly with a book like Fast After 50. I highly recommend all of them!
