After the tragedy that occurred at the Boston Marathon, a group of individuals have put forth the idea of selling t-shirts to raise money for the Boston One Fund, a fund to help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013.

This inspired Ottawa resident and runner Brent Smyth to bring the idea here in Ottawa in time for the Ottawa Race Weekend later on this month. Please consider purchasing the blue and yellow T-shirts and wearing them for the race or make a donation directly to THE ONE FUND.

The T-shirts sell for $26.20 and you can order them here.

Congratulations Tim!

CBC's Fifth Estate aired an episode on Lance Armstrong and interviewed many people who knew about his secrets and doping abuse. To many, Lance was an inspiration by overcoming cancer, starting the Livestrong Foundation and being one of the world's greatest athletes.

The Fifth Estate opens our eyes to the truth.

We are happy to inform you that we now have good stock levels for most of the goggle options. The only colour we are waiting on is the Gold competitive 101. We are phasing out the recreational amber and rose goggles.... Not enough of you wanted to buy them! :)

So if you are interested in getting a pair, now is the time to place an order, because once these are gone.... who knows how long it will take to get more?!

Thanks,

The famous Sable WaterOptics goggles that so many swimmers and triathletes enjoy using have been out of stock for a while, but we are happy to announce that we have just received a shipment for some of your favourite styles and colours. The competitive tinted models are still out of stock but are due to arrive in the next week or two.

Stock shortages all over North America and the UK are due to the popularity of this item. We have been told by our supplier that they will be ordering from the manufacturer in smaller quantities but more frequently which will help to restock retailer shelves when they are low in supply.

Prescription goggles are always available online.
