Thank You Tri Life Gear!

Just wanted to send a big "thank you" and shout-out to Tri Life Gear for my new ISM Adamo road bike saddle.  Tri Life Gear is a new sponsor for Falkee Triathlon Team and recently offered our team a nice discount on ISM Adamo saddles.  This was music to my ears because I had been in dire need of a saddle replacement (too much pain for too many hours!).  I tried an ISM Adamo saddle out recently at an endurance sports expo and was sold on it in my mind, but was holding out for a better deal.  Tri Life Gear to the rescue!  I just tried the new saddle out on a 58 mile ride this weekend and was literally relieved that I wasn’t screaming to get off the bike at the end!  Thanks again Tri Life Gear for convincing me that now was the time!

Tri Life Gear is a new triathlon specific store that is seeking out coaches, athletes, clubs, and teams to sponsor for the 2011 season.  They offer over 30,000 products for triathletes at great discounts.  Check them out at their website: http://trilifegear.com/
