Race Day Packing Made Easy – Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler Duffle 60L Product Review

Image
“Disclaimer: I received the Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler Duffle 60L  to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!” As runners we all have to pack gear for our races; shoes, clothing, toiletries and accessories.  What we pack those items in differs from one racer to the other.  For me in the past it was a large backpack and sometimes an extra duffle bag.  As a BibRavePro I had the opportunity to test the Eagle Creek  Cargo Hauler Duffle 60L not knowing it would forever change the way I pack for race day. Before we get started, let me preface by stating the EC60L duffle is not specifically designed for running.  Instead it falls in, what can be consider an exceptionally line, of traveling gear designed to making the traveling experience better.  The EC60L duffle is considered as a “medium” size bag that Eagle Creek...

Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews! All opinions are my own.  The Hot Chocolate 15k/5k in Columbus, OH was held on Sunday, November 5, 2017.  This was a week earlier than the race last year, which turned out great as the weather was overcast and 60 degrees at race start. This was my first time running in a Hot Chocolate Race put on by RAM Racing . After hearing all the raves about it I️ decided it was time to experience what all the hype was about. Not to mention it’s dubbed “America’s Sweetest Race”!!! I️ chose Columbus, OH, yes I️ know. (Why would a Wolverine be caught in Buckeye Nation???) Regardless I️ was excited to say the least. Going into this race I️ had a goal of running the 15k under 1hr10mins. It was my first race at this distance so I️ did not know what to expect. Time would tel...

Let Others Know Who You Are - Road ID Product Review

"Disclaimer: I received the Road ID Wrist ID Elite wristband  to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!" I can't count how many times I've been out running and almost hit by a moving vehicle.  The only identification I can recall having in my possession during any of these close calls was my cellular device.  While containing some personal information it would take an army of individuals and time to find a meaningful contact.  Definitely not the most logical and possible life saving article that would aid someone in finding critical information.  What if you didn't have to carry anything at all, but in turn could wear a wristband providing that important information to first responders.  Well welcome to Road ID . Road ID came to life from a runner who experienced what I started this review off with, an almost life...
