Free Jacket, excellent for keeping you warm in cold weather

The Gabba might have grabbed the headlines over the past few years, but Castelli have an impressive range of other jackets to cater for every meteorological scenario. The Castelli Free jacket is designed to keep the cold out on dry, winter days, and does a good job with a garment that is close-fitting in all the right areas to keep the wind at bay. The Castelli Free jacket is an impressive piece of kit that will keep you warm on all but the coldest of days. At MSRP €189,95 (£175) the Castelli Free jacket sits bang in the middle of the Italian brand’s range of windproof jackets and is designed for temperatures of between zero and 10ºC. In reality though, you can extend this range depending on what other pieces of clothing you choose to pair it with. The main body of the jacket is made from Gore Windstopper X-Fast 2 fabric, which, as the name suggests, does an excellent job of stopping the wind. What’s more the inside is light fleece material, meaning that we were comfortable riding in temperatures up to 15ºC with only a base layer underneath. But the highlights of the Castelli Free jacket are in the ...

Brilliant performance by Ironman rookie Andreas Giglmayr

The 30-year-old Austrian and former short distance triathlete only switched to longer distances for 2014 and already had a good start into the season with a second place at Challenge Rimini in May. At his debut over a long distance triathlon at Ironman Austria (Klagenfurt) he gained 4th place with an impressive time of 8:09:06. It hasn’t been anything but easy already before the race. Ironman is never easy and everyone has some issues once race unfolds. Coming straight from a block of altitude training in Font Romeux, were he sustained a foot injury, he was in doubt about his running capability. “I am delighted with my race and very satisfied with my performance. I surpassed all my expectations. The atmosphere over the day was amazing and it’s a phenomenal feeling receiving so much support at my home race. I really had a superb bike leg, but struggled during the concluding run. With about 20k to go, I got cramps and even wasn’t sure if I’d see the finish. Solely the supportive spectators and fans were crucial to move on till the finish line. The happiness I experienced today is beyond description. Finishing my first Ironman among the best is ...
