CycleOps Joule 2.0
Awhile back, my sister found a CycleOps Joule 2.0 at one of my triathlons. I contacted the race organizer and CycleOps to try and figure out who's it was - we all hate losing these things. The race never had a report of it being lost and CycleOps said it was never registered. So guess who now owns a CycleOps Joule 2.0?! This kid!
Before I can use it though, I need to the mount unit, and a sensor. The mount unit is easy. The sensor might be interesting though. I want a dual speed and cadence sensor, but at first I read that dual sensors don't work. Then apparently a firmware update is required. So if you have a suggestion for a good ANT+ dual speed/cadence sensor, I'm all ears!
Wetsuits
I have a half Rev in early June and a full Iron in late October, so I thought it might be prudent to look into a wetsuit. I went to the LBS and tried on a sleeveless 2XU ST:3 at the recommendation of their resident 12x Ironman. First off, these things are just as difficult to put on as they seem. Yes, this was the first time I tried on a wetsuit. The only problem I had was that the neck seemed tight. I know it's supposed to be tight enough to keep water out and prevent chaffing, but if I put my head down, my face would have been beat red in a matter of 60 seconds. I thought "maybe they're all like this." For shits and giggles I also tried on a full sleeve TYR Hurricane C1 as well. OMG, there's no way I'd wear a full sleeve at a race! The only thing I did like of it was the neck; it was so much more comfortable.
Do you have a wetsuit? Are they all tight around the neck?
LA Fitness & Swimming
After two full months of running and biking, I finally added swimming back into the mix. It was between Bally's and LA, but in the end, LA has yoga classes as well as a better pool despite that it's a little further away. But WOW am I out of swimming shape! Running Shoes
I've been running in the Pearl Izumi Streak IIs all this year and I've absolutely loved them. I'm about 150 miles in and I know I'm going to need a new pair by mid-summer. I've been debating though whether I might try a different pair. I've been looking at different shoes and I really want to try the Pearl Izumi ISO Transitions.

Questions
1. Any suggestions for dual speed/cadence sensors? Is the Garmin GSC-10 good or need I spend more money on something more mid-level?
2. Do you own a wetsuit? Is there always a tightness in the neck?
3. What shoes do you run in? Has anyone tried the Pearl Izumi ISO Transition?
Swim fast. Bike smart. Run hard.
