We love it when gear reviewers give the equipment the full treatment and really demo the goods! The people at Runner's World do an excellent job at giving real-world helpful advice about using a piece of equipment.
Here's their latest video review of the Suunto Quest. It's really helpful to see the watch in real use, and with a detailed explanation of it's features.

Leadville Trail Qualifiers Announced
The six qualifying events for the 2012 Leadville Trail mountain bike race have been announced. Last year was the first time the race was built on a qualifier system, rather than the previous lottery system, and this year will require racers once again to prove their mettle to get into the elite event.
We're hoping to see Suunto superstar Rebecca Rusch in the scrum, defending her women's champion title at the tough, high-altitude race, which happens August 11th in Colorado.
Cycling News has a great story about the qualifying events, including the list of locations. Read it here.
And if you want to relive Rebecca's awesome domination of the race in 2011 - including setting a new course record - here's Cycling News' coverage of that too! Of course, you'll also want to check out Reba's recap of the day, as well.
Hooray for The Queen of Pain!

Suunto Core Featured in Backcountry Skiing Canada
Backcountry Skiing Canada has done a great and thorough review of the Suunto Core's 75th Anniversary Edition.
The 75th anniversary last spring commemorated the Tuomas Vohlonen invention in 1936 which led to liquid filled compasses and became the basis for the technical watches of today.
The folks at BSC really give the Core the full treatment, and it is a very informative and helpful review of all the features, from design to technical features.

Comments from the review:
"No mater how good the features are, if the design is not striking, people will just not pay attention. Lucky for the Suunto Core it is not only functional but also simple in design and striking in appearance. The Suunto Core 75th Anniversary edition is sleek and elegant thanks to the beautiful anodized green bezel design, but these are mere cosmetics, the real design appeal comes in the industrial design - that is to say the form of the Suunto Core."
