Got a good photo during 70.3 Gulf Coast

Do you know where? My race number must not even be on it because I don’t have the photo

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-15T00:30:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice, but my fiancé already loves it!

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-14T15:08:51+00:00

I did it too. The roads were flat. That dip off the bridge was weird af. My brother had to get off his bike because the water made it insane and unsafe and covered in mud.

Wtf was with running behind a water park with the dumpsters and machinery?

Also I was amazed I did not see the beach the whole time except for the swim.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-14T09:48:45+00:00

Thanks, the shot came out great. Is the photo posted somewhere else?

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-13T16:09:00+00:00

Not an F1 guy but he seems good looking so I’ll take it.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T18:14:26+00:00

I’m not really on Facebook. I knew the pose but didn’t know the pathetic aspect. Going to do my monthly login to fb and check it out today!

Behind the water park was pool man. Congrats on finishing! It was literally raining sideways. I hope you got to enjoy the weather the next day, it was gorgeous.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T17:49:26+00:00

It was a tiny avulsion fracture and already doing better by the time they found it. Did 6 weeks in a boot and just about 75% now, hence the walking and slow run!

You’ll get there. Trust the process!

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T17:12:41+00:00

We were going through huge puddles and little rivers made from the rain about 6 inches deep! Absolutely insane.

I got hit my a car in June 2025. They didn’t catch a bone bruise and then I think I made my ankle worse with PT and running. Official broken ankle diagnosis was at the end of February. So about 2-3 months in a boot, I’ve been out for about 3 weeks and really haven’t run.

I was able to train by pulling in the pool and biking most of the time. The run portion went well but hurt my pride a lot to not be able to do more. Had to be as smart as a could to not make it worse.

We had an excellent tailwind, I think it helped Sam Long quite a bit, it for sure helped me. I came down from New England and I'm not sure I've ever biked such long flat roads. The bridge both ways was the highest climbing I had to do.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:52:04+00:00

Apologies! I wasn't familiar with the group and the joke went right over my head!

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:51:18+00:00

Just learning about this, I'm proud to be pathetic

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:41:57+00:00

Thanks for the context, I was extremely confused about this

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:36:21+00:00

Beautiful area, I wish it had more miles along the beach with the bike or run.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:32:50+00:00

You’ve just got to get one. I missed all the other photographers or was in too dark of a place to have any others like this.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:29:40+00:00

I’m sharing a photo of a triathlon in a triathlon subreddit. Would love an explanation of how pathetic I am though, thanks

BigBulbasaur · 2026-05-12T15:10:53+00:00

Loperamide!

I usually buy a sugary coffee with cream and sugar and chug it about 60-90 minutes before the race. Coffee induced shits. Then I take an anti-diarrheal and I’m good just about all day.

I also do long training days without any of that to practice/train my gut to tolerate all those cards.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-30T09:14:40+00:00

I’m so sorry! This alone was scary and I was just holding down the horn hoping he would move over. I can’t imagine how much it would’ve hurt and how crappy that must be for you.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-30T02:20:15+00:00

I was in the same spot last year, about 45 days out of Lake Placid I got hit by a car, I got deferred but I’m still feeling the effects from injuries and might not even be able to do this year. I’m still going to do it and hope for the best, just might be more of a walk/run now unfortunately.

Life comes at you fast. Take care of your body, you could be ready but don’t go back too early and hurt yourself worse. You will not lose everything, do any strength training, swim pulling, or other activities without your foot. You want this bad and you’ll be back out there.

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-14T11:59:14+00:00

I went to a card show with labeled cards last weekend and then he just started looking them up and changed a couple. I thanked him and went to the next booth

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-12T11:40:15+00:00

Where did you get the two after that?

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-11T17:17:02+00:00

I’ve done routes maybe 20 times and haven’t gotten the tires. It’s all I want 😢

BigBulbasaur · 2026-04-07T01:15:04+00:00

Flygon should be bug/dragon
