With all the buzz today about Ironman banning compression socks, I went looking for alternatives. As it happens, an old buddy of mine from MTBR days recently started a company called Rocktape.

I recently reviewed 2XU compression tights and I was impressed by what I found. It is now my goal to try as many compression products as possible to try and determine which if any may offer some training or race benefit.

San Diego (Jan. 12, 2009) – SLS3 is pleased to announce its sponsorship of professional triathlete, Ain-Alar Juhanson. Juhanson enters his 6th year as a professional triathlete. Placing 13th at the Ironman ™ World Championships in October last year, his best result ever on Big Island. Winning IM Lanzarote and IM New Zealand in 2007 also adds to his list of esteemed accomplishments.
