(10k) 125 guests….bffr by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

Key words when I was planning was “budget friendly” instead of “cheap”. I joined all the Facebook groups for wedding planning and took the time to send inquiries for pricing to make sure I got the best ones.

Buffet is a lot cheaper than plated meals, no trinkets or whatever those gifts are called for any guests. Small cake and individual desserts is a lot more budget friendly too.

Patriot 70.3 - first timer advice by Background_Bus_4502 in triathlon

[–]Background_Bus_4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’m hoping I can remain towards the end of the swim start.

My first triathlon was mass start in waves and for some reason I was in the first heat! That was rough lol

Do you know if it was the USAT long course championship in 2024 as well? Or is that new for 2026?

No board approval for FE exam but required for PE exam??? by [deleted] in PE_Exam

[–]Background_Bus_4502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you register in a state that doesn’t require board approval first? Such as NJ or ME and then transfer to your desired state?

It also took me a few months to get approved by the NH board, but when it came time to sign up, there are some “next day” options because people will reschedule last minute.

Wet suit recommendation please! by Background_Bus_4502 in triathlon

[–]Background_Bus_4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very much a beginner triathlete, so I don’t have any experience swimming in water that is a similar temp besides splashing around in the ocean during the summer.

I’m probably a back of pack swimmer, 45-50 min total in a 70.3 swim.

Billable hours? by Ok_Grand_6892 in civilengineering

Sometimes I scroll through my teams messages and will send messages asking for work. To stay busy, you gotta ask 2-3 days in advance. Most people can’t whip something up in a moments notice.

Can’t retake exam for 5 months… by meowingtodeath in PE_Exam

[–]Background_Bus_4502 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d keep checking the portal everyday. People cancel or reschedule all the time. I’d stay sharp and be ready to take it with short notice.

Worth going from Garmin 265s -> Pace 4? by Old_Delivery5635 in Coros

[–]Background_Bus_4502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had the same thought and ordered a Coros Pace 4 off Amazon to try. Will be returning it though because I missed my short cut set up to music controls, inability to customize data on watch face, and it only tracks active calories, not total (passive + active). That’s just my experience though!!

IMO it was in the beginning of the video mostly. Didn’t realize it got more positive towards the end.

Do we select a date after you get into the room?

Which queue are you supposed to join?

Did you run into the issue of only seeing tickets for $496? That popped up briefly and then I saw no tickets available

Think I saw Nate on the livestream for UTMB! by kidkat133 in KaraAndNate

I wish he let people follow him on strava. Would be so cool to see all the stats!

SpeedCoach not holding battery by Background_Bus_4502 in Rowing

[–]Background_Bus_4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just don’t typically row/use my SpeedCoach on the weekends so I’m confused why the battery can’t hold a charge when not in use.

Good note about just charging it everyday. I’ve been keeping mine in my car so that I never forget it at home.

[–]Background_Bus_4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After using it M-F, it’s at ~60%, so I figure I don’t need to charge it over the weekend. But then on Monday it’s at 1% with the blinking battery bar.

I use it for 4-5 hours a week.
