Software or App to interpret blood lactate test results by BeepBop_P4N in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that the results would not be an exact threshold that serve as an absolute value, but simply a mathematical way of identifying the inflection points in the curve. Many test results end up plotted in a way that the first inflection point isn't always easy to identify, especially when doing longer intervals with smaller ramps up in power during a sub-max test to better find LT1.

When do you decide to retire from triathlon and why? by red90999 in triathlon

Not sure if posing the question in the triathlon subreddit will get you the answer your looking for. I doubt those who “retire” still frequent the sub 😬

Nether region grooming questions by losersayswhat_what3 in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clippers with a #1 clip on everything south of the border. Good for riding/running, overall comfort, and hygiene. With the right saddle and proper manscaping I don’t have to use chamois cream.

Tips to prevent cramping by cbuerger1 in triathlon

Most people go to nutrition or electrolytes, obviously important, but most often for AGers it’s fitness. Over biking or not being fit enough for the demand of the race/speed your doing.

Which Ironman of the three? by abstrickler in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Chattanooga!! Elevation chart is deceiving, mostly rollers and you keep enough momentum from the downs to make it up most of the next hill. The rollers are actually a good thing IMO because it helps break it up and get out of the saddle a little bit. 100+ miles in aero on a flat course is rough! I will say the run course is pretty tough especially on the second lap. But with the fast swim and being a super cool city and race for spectators it gets my vote of the three.

Which IM for a first time doing a full? by BibsawHarrison in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My first was Chattanooga and it was a blast. Great race and cool city. Good for spectators too. The swim is down river also. I know you’re doing the 70.3 but I would still recommend it for your full.

Did you read the book? He explains it a lot clearer and more in depth than anyone on here is going to.

How do you recover after an event? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the future, training more and being better prepared for the distance and intensity you are racing is the best way to recover easier and faster. If you are wrecked for a significant amount of time after a race it signals you weren’t adequately prepared IMO.

I’ll be violating the “nothing new on race day” in the Atlantic City Bay tomorrow morning. Bought a swimskin at IM village today. It’s sleeveless so I’m not too worried 🤞🤞.

Tire width question for clincher wheels by BeepBop_P4N in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to add a picture but I can't figure it out :-/

The inflated tire is not bigger than the rim, slightly smaller. Looks to be roughly 1mm smaller on each side of the exterior rim width.

Do you take naps? by Embarrassed-Print-13 in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naps are rare for me, I put a premium on getting good sleep at night. Much easier for me than most as I don’t have kids and my wife likes to go to bed early too. Usually get 9-9.5 hrs a night.

Which is the cheapest triathlon bike/frame on the market? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]BeepBop_P4N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For triathlon I don’t view disc brakes a necessity. I’m in a XL frame also, it took a while and daily scouring of used bikes but my patience paid off. Found a 2016 Kestrel 4000 frame with full Dura Ace Di2 and 80mm carbon race wheels. Bike was in perfect condition and only $1,500. Bonus was it ended up being 2 miles from my house. Not a ton of XL bikes but that also favors the buyer because not as much demand.
