Shoes:
Saucony ProGrid Guide 4 - Why? 2 reasons color (black, a rarity in running shoes) & design, They seem to be better in dealing w/ my running issues. My gait is a bit off due to the medical issues I have had in the past, and they do a great job of keeping me straight.
Camera:
GoPro Hero. Light, great battery length & darn near indestructible. I use the chest harness for the most part, due to my hair making it difficult to use the headband. Just turn it on & get race footage.
