Argon has landed and the Here are the Pornstars new Rigs

I have been very fortunate to be involved with such a great brand and such sexy bikes.

My TT bike is the 2010 Argon E-114 with Full custom Carbon Tri bars and Full Sram , ceramic Red with the Super sexy and fast Xentis Mark 1 TT wheelset, speedplay pedals to finish her off. I am not sure of the weight but its light, i guess complete like this it’s about 7.3kgs

Also rocking the new Specialized Romin saddle.

My road rig is there new Top end 2010 Frameset with full SRAM force, which is under the 2kg mark this year and retails for around R 8700.00 this is the best value for money out there as its lighter than the new dura ace and half the price. I finished her off with the new american classic victory wheelset which is good value for money and matches the rest of the bike and off course speedplay pedals. This weighs around 7kg complete and with training wheels…scarey, its a sub 900g frame so i had a good start there.

Now all i need to do is train again…Hmmmmm

Coolest Goggles i have ever seen

Swimwear and equipment manufacturer, Barracuda has created a revolutionary new swim goggle – the Hydrobat. The new goggle features patented flutes below each lens, a smaller profile, a double wishbone nose bridge and a larger field of vision.

The Hydrobat’s biggest distinction is three small holes below each lens, known as flutes. These directional channels create hydro-static pressure to help keep the goggles snug to the face and give the goggles a more exact and comfortable fit.

“The Hydrobat is fast, comfortable and stays on the face better during dives and flip turns,” says Barracuda president Rick Runckel, “It’s unlike any other competitive goggle out there right now.”

For additional comfort and fit, the Hydrobat has a double wishbone nose bridge. Both the upper and lower portion of the bridge has four adjustment points, providing swimmers with eight symmetrical settings for the best possible fit.

The profile of the Hydrobat goggle is also smaller. The bat-wing design covers the eye socket, anatomically smoothing the area to create a flow that minimizes drag.

The highly polished frame also expands peripheral vision giving the swimmer a wider visual field while in the water.

Hydrobats are available in four different colors; Clear, Smoke, Silver Mirrored and Teal Mirrored. Hydrobat Clear and Smoke sell for $15, and Silver Mirrored and Teal Mirrored for $17.

Barracuda is a brand owned by Skyline Northwest Corporation. Established in 1979, the Lake Oswego-based company designs and manufactures precision sport optics, including Bugz Performance Eyewear, Barracuda Swim Products and Sight Shield Protective Eyewear.

Your Body Is a Big Battery

Everyone’s body is essentially a complex set of electro-chemical processes, a series of organic chemicals generating electro-magnetic energy.

Every time your lungs inhale and exhale air, your heart beats, your brain thinks, your arms and legs move, a series of electrical impulses originate and travel through the body.

The totality of our existence depends on the efficient exchange and balance of positive and negative electrical charges called ions.

70.3 SA, another long day at the office

I was very happy to pick up my Bar-One manhunt Nissan X-Trail and pack my bags and head off to East London for the weekend to race the 70.3, which is a Half Ironman, a 1.9km swim, a 90km bike ride and a 21.1km run after that.

We got a bit lost going there and drove about 2hrs extras, if you ever doing the trip remember to take the split just after bloem and don’t keep driving towards cape town as its the wrong way.

Leading up to the race i felt ok, but not great, i have done quite a bit of biking and so knew i was strong but hadn’t done much swimming or running due to the show and then being on holiday so i knew i was going to be in for a long day. I was very excited though to race my new bike for the first time in  the race. A Argon 18 E-114

The swim was a huge field of around 1400 men and i did well to exit rather unharmed and without spending too many calories. I was quickly on the bike and felt strong and so started to race my game plan. But soon disaster struck as i vomited up my first gel…i turned the half way point in around 97th place overall and was looking forward at riding hard back to town.

At 70km my race day ended as my body gave up, i hadn’t been able to get calories in and then the rest of the day became survival…the only thing that stayed down all day was a bit of coke on the run. So ended up with a 5hrs 36min race which isn’t too bad considering i only took in about 500 calories all day.

Well done to all of you who were out there surviving the day as the weather and course were all hard.

Thanks again to the wonderful guys who sponsor the cool gear i use, Orca Wetsuits and Apparel, Puma Racing and Training Gear, Argon 18 Bikes, Suunto Heart Rate Monitors, Troi Sport and Under Armour Compression Gear

You guys rock

Epic Mountain Bike riding in Karoo

We just rode on our Mountain bikes off the beaten track from George to Ashton to Raoul de Jongh’s wine farm. We rode passes like the Swartberg Pass and a place called ” Die Leer ” which we had to take our bikes apart and carry them up a 2km vertical climb with 600m elevation.

We had huge 10hr odd days for some of it and managed to ride 550km in 6 days.

Here is a pic of one of the decents we got to ride down after climbing up and up and up

You can see the rest of my pics on my facebook profile or videos on twitter.

Both of them are under my Name: Collin Bradley Allin
