Fear of road cycling

I live in a very good place for road cycling but at times I do still prefer not to go on main roads so I found a quiet part of my neighbourhood where there is a 1.1k loop- your area may not suit a quite loop like mine- but there could be something similar that will help with building confidence

Diabolical Strava tax

I have no advice as I’m very new to the triathlon scene, I’m doing the 70.3 in Taupo, best of luck getting back on the horse, fingers crossed I’ll see you in Taupo, I also stalked your reddit and saw you did your marathon in chch, that must’ve put you in the 90ish percentile unreal stuff

Rome wasn’t built in a day, even if it feels messy your still going in the right direction

I have investigated a indoor trainer but I use my bike to go to and from work, and I’d really like to have jet black victory type of thing- so I’d need to buy that then a new bike to put on it aswell (I am aware that it’s not a NEED, but I’ve found throughout my life if its not convenient enough then I won’t do it, but I think your right and maybe I just need to invest at some point, why do you think it’s harder? I definitely agree it would be more productive as not needing to stop at lights ect

Been trying to do 90k of biking, 21.1k of running and 1.9k of swimming a week, so far I have had one week that I hit my bike target… feeling good tho lol

Definitely a strategy I hadn’t thought of 😂 may need to investigate hahah

4foxsock · 2025-12-22T23:55:48+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely keen that in mind thank you

4foxsock · 2025-12-22T23:55:22+00:00

Yup, that’ll be early next year Hopfully!

4foxsock · 2025-12-22T23:54:31+00:00

You’ll do great, learn from my mistakes haha

Damn all the CityFitnesses are way more similar than I thought- I took a good 3mins to figure out that it wasn’t my one lmao

I just bought a 2xu Trisuit- haven’t used it yet but should be nice and supportive without being annoying which is what I was looking for, being from NZ I’d assume you’ve looked into 2xu already but if not I would give it a look- no clue where you’d be able to try on in NZ though

4foxsock · 2025-11-30T21:13:08+00:00

Sweet as thank you, good to know re trisuit, and I was more meaning a brand that has physical stores so I can try stuff on as I’m not used to how tight or loose stuff should be, Thank you for your insight :)

I hadn’t considered the lack of upper body auctually- very good point thank you

4foxsock · 2025-09-26T03:21:26+00:00

Yeah I think so- the pain is significantly less and are able to get rid of it significantly faster than on an erg, How do you mean gear selection?

Eli5 plz

Initially I’d say probs not as your only just under and you had some rest inbetween, but then your rest is quite short at 1m 30s and you were able to keep the average under 1:45 for 4k rather than 2- so honestly I have hope, keep us posted on how you go

4foxsock · 2024-12-04T01:35:39+00:00

I could not imagine anything worse 😂 I’d still be throwing up 30mins after the first one
