It is official, the holiday shopping season has arrived. And while the season seems to roll out earlier and earlier each year, somehow I always find myself scrambling at the last minute, trying to figure out what “the perfect gift” will be. If you have an athlete in your life that you’re planning on showering with gifts this year, each week I am going to try to help you out. I have asked the great employees of TriSports.com to send me their wish lists for triathlon or sports related gifts. While I may not be able to play Santa to their lists, I’m hopeful this will help you play Santa to someone else’s. And to kick it off, I will share with you my list, because you never know who might be reading!

Gender: Female
Age Group: 30-34
Athletic Level / Years Experience: Advanced / 10 years
Activities I enjoy: Racing tri’s, trail running, walking my dog, weekend training get-away’s
Distance I typically compete at: Half Ironman

My Wish list:
Power Meter. I’m behind the times and have not yet been able to incorporate this into my tool box yet.

Oakley Enduring Pace Sunglasses. As a female with a smaller face, these fit really nicely. Oh how I long for the day that my scenic rides and trail runs aren’t marred by scratched and perpetually smudged lenses. I’m out in the sun enough that my eyes probably deserve the best protection available.

Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet. I borrowed one for my last race and this is honest-to-goodness the most comfortable helmet I have worn. I’ve never been a big aero helmet fan, but this one leaves space for my ponytail, which means my hair isn’t destroyed heading out for the run. And yes, that matters to me.
