A Living Scrapbook of the Sport: Stories Told on Our Shop Walls

We’ve Been Where You Are – And We’ve Got Your Back

Since 1993 for me, and 1989 for Cam, triathlon has been more than a sport — it’s been our lifestyle, our community, and in many ways, our home. Between the two of us, we’ve racked up over 40 Ironman finishes, including both of us racing in Kona. We’ve crossed countless finish lines at half Ironman and short course events. We’ve stood on start lines nervous and excited, and we’ve felt the heartbreak of a bad race day. We know the high-fives, the tough calls, the penalties, and the personal victories — big and small.

When you walk into our shop, you’re not just stepping into a store. You’re stepping into a living scrapbook of the sport. Our walls are papered with Triathlete Magazine covers, race articles, and snapshots from 1989 onward. Many of the athletes featured have been people we’ve trained with, raced against, cheered for, and even called friends.

We’ve seen triathlon evolve — the gear, the rules, the trends, the prices (!!). We’ve tried the wetsuits, dialed in the bike fits, tested the accessories, and kept up with what’s new so you don’t have to wade through the noise. Cam may have swapped racing for skateboarding these days, but he’s still the go-to bike fitter and mechanic extraordinaire. I still toe the start line from time to time, because racing gives my training purpose — and training with purpose makes me happy.

Whether you’re chasing your first finish line or your fiftieth, we’re here to make the journey easier, more enjoyable, and a little more informed. You’re in the right place.
