Not planning on spending my money on it at this time. It's going on the birthday/Christmas wish list. It's the kind of thing I like for those presents. It's something I want, but not willing to save up to get one, and it's not the kind of thing I'd just go out and put on the credit card.
But, except for a new bike(which already has the purchase plan in place), I don't really need anything else.
I just got a couple pairs of swim trunks, I just bought a 1 piece tri suit, I have my wetsuit, goggles, etc etc etc.
I wouldn't mind getting body fat testing or metabolic testing, but those fall into the same category as the helmet for me.
I might pay for some swim lessons, it's kind of hard to expect Sheldon to teach me to swim when he can't see what I'm doing wrong. I might be doing thousands of yards of swimming and doing them all wrong. Just reinforcing bad habbits. So paying for some eyes and ears locally a couple times might be a good idea.

Yes, it's definitely present material!
People are telling me I don't need stuff I want to spend my birthday money on and my response is... um, that's the point!

Scott-metobolic testing IS useful:) But...not as fun as spending money on toys!
Also-swim lessons...they'll help. Does Eric know of any good coaches out your way? Sheldon's workouts are good, but if you're swimming wrong they won't help much:)
I may get a new helmet for my b-day next year...just one that's lighter/more air conditioned. Maybe some new tri shoes. Mine are 3 years old and smell of death.

Great, now I hear the dork equipment doesn't really help me, lol. I found myself in a great position at the start of last year that gave me extra ca**** was either spend it on tri-stuff or go climb a mountain (literally!!!! Still one of my goals). I decided to jump in and not really lust after anyones equipment. I don't regret any purchase, but each one becomes a bigger reminder that I better keep working that engine to 'earn' that which I already own. If you have the &
$$ or a wish list I do believe wheels/helmet help. For me I see roughly a 1.5-2 mph difference with them in a sprint race. Worth the $$$ who knows, for me yes.
