50th Birthday Gift Ideas for the IronBird in the making ...
Below you'll find a variety of items that I feel I need for training and racing. As you'll see, there is a big range in price.
Should you feel the urge to buy me a 50th birthday gift this year, please consider choosing from the list below. The first 3 items are needed as soon as possible so that I can train with them. So a pre-birthday gift is better for these.
For the treatments (massages and osteopath) any time is a great time to receive these gifts.
I will update the list more often now Ironman Lake Placid race is less than 2 months away and my warm up race EPIC is less than 1 month away.
If you would prefer to contribute in part or in whole but don't want to do the actual buying, I'll happily accept an e-transfer to my triathlon only email account: mokacase@gmail.com
Wishlist Gifts appear in order of priority.
Many thanks! Moka Michelle xox
THESE ARE THE ITEMS I STILL NEED
EPIC Lifestyle racekit $260 - dress me!
It just arrived! But wow are the costs adding up - any contribution in whole or in part towards my racing outfit for both EPIC and Ironman races would be a huge help! Please send an e-transfer to my triathlon only email account: mokacase@gmail.com
Running shoes $150 - be with me every step of the way!
Interested in purchasing the running shoes I will run my EPIC half marathon and Ironman marathon in? Brooks Glycerin Men's size 8.5 wide. Pricey but the only shoes my podiatrist and I can find that work for me. Please send an e-transfer to my triathlon only email account: mokacase@gmail.com
Blurb: these tires boast Conti's Black Chili rubber compound for 26% less rolling resistance, 30% more traction and 5% more wear (than previous versions). This makes for one of the fastest tires in the peloton. Even better, the GP 4000 boasts a tough Vectran sub-tread for exceptional puncture protection, a 330-tpi casing for a velvety-smooth ride and tread-wear indicator to eliminate guessing. If you're looking for the ultimate road tire, you've found it!
Endorsed by veteran cyclists I trust big time!

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!
Dura Ace 10 spd 7900 rear cassette 11-28 + a Dura Ace chain + installation *GIFTED TO ME - THANK YOU KRISTIN, BRAY & PACO!!!!*
I will be doing some big climbs up the Adirondack mountains. My current rear cassette (gear) is 11-25. I want more gears to save something for the marathon! The easiest gear I currently have is a 25 so this change will help a great deal. The chain is needed as my current one won't fit the large cogs. For this purchase, I would like to support my local bike shop Cyclesmith where I trust technicians to the to do the installation right!
Power PowerTap G3 power meter & Garmin Edge 500 (ant) bike computer. *GIFTED TO ME - THANK YOU BARRY AND SEALEY!!!!*
I've done the research and this is my 1st choice - best performance for the money. There are 2 parts to this: 1. the rear wheel hub that fits my wheel size and the bike computer that will provide the data I find most useful.
Sunglasses for cycling and running.
Ryder Via Photochromatic *Gifted to me - Thank You to my father Roy and step-mom Margaret Case*
Rather than selecting Oakley, Smith or Rudy Project at $300-$400 for one pair - I have chosen the poor cousin - Ryder! I've had several and have found them to be durable and comfortable at a fraction of the price of the other brands. I've chosen photochromatic lens that change in varying light rather than interchangeable that you have to stop and change and carry extra lens = hassle!
Massage Gift Certificates *Thank You Birdie for May pre-birthday gift*
where I get my sports massage from my favourite RMT - Deidre Comeau
Massage Addict - Lower Sackville, NS
