ICEdot Crash Sensor
ICEdot is an emergency ID and notification service innovating safety technology for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. ICEdot syncs a secure online profile with products such as a band, helmet stickers or it’s latest product, the Crash Sensor. In Case Of Emergency, ICEdot has the ability share predesignated health and geolocation information over sms/text.
ICEdot ID products allow first responders to retrieve emergency information stored in an ICEdot profile. First responders send an SMS text message containing the PIN found on the ID product to the number specified and an immediate response message is returned containing information on the individual.
The Crash Sensor will mount onto any helmet and connects with your ICEdot Profile via a smartphone app. The system is able to detect motion, changes in forces and impacts. In the event of critical forces, the device triggers the app over low-energy Bluetooth to sound an alarm and initiate an emergency countdown. Unless the countdown clock is stopped, the app will then notify your emergency contacts and send GPS coordinates of the incident so that appropriate follow up actions can be taken.
X-1 Audio
As with any athletes, you spend a lot of time training. Over the years, swimming has actually been a little boring. Until now. X-1 makes an incredible iPod holder for swimmers. It’s called the Interval 4G Waterproof Headphone System. It connects to the back of your goggles and integrates with their water proof head set. The time does go a lot faster.
New TIMEX Ironman GPS ONE
This is my watch. It enables me to listen to music through bluetooth. Up to 1,000 songs. Receive and send texts. 1 year fee services with ATT. Water-resistant up to 50 meters. Tracks all my activities including heart rate and foot pod. It is also Fitness App compatible.
Something to consider… Being a Clydesdale, the watch fits me great. For someone with small wrists…not so much.

Good For Your Butt
Cycling can become a huge pain in the butt. Not just from getting out their and riding but from the pain you feel during or after you get off your seat. A few simple tricks to help elevate much of the pain.
1) Go to Cobb Cycling at www.cobbcycling.com review their seats and then call them and talk with a representative about the type of riding you do. They will then recommend the best seat for you. (Cobb Cycling seats are the highest rated in comfort)
2) Get your bike fitted with your new seat. Each time a new component changes the way you ride, you should get refitted.
3) Ride – Start with small rides and then work your way up to longer rides and your butt will thank you!
