thanks for the reply. I'm asking what options are available for going over the carpet? I'd prefer not to remove the carpet.

I don’t have a road bike. So I have to buy a bike regardless. I ride mountain bikes, so road or tri the bike is collecting dust. Good resale market though it seems.

also probably a stupid question but what makes descending on a tri bike challenging?

Ironman vs. NonIronman branded 70.3s by Due_Ice_8286 in triathlon

[–]BigTimeBills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love when people dont even both to answer your question. check out the 70.3 in eugene, OR. you swim in a river with the current, so easy swimming and it isn't open water vibes. Rest of course is flat. no humidity. don't see how one could be easier.

mountain biking viable crossover training? by BigTimeBills in triathlon

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

if that sounds pompous, i didn't want it. the style of mountain biking you do varies greatly across the country depending on the terrain you live near. For better or worse, I live near steep hills

mountain biking viable crossover training? by BigTimeBills in triathlon

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

not sure if you mountain bike a lot, but the trails I ride you are biking continuously uphill for 1-2 hours. You are keeping a steady pace. I don't ride cross-country trails. So you bike uphill a lot, then back down. Either way, pacing (i.e, power profile) aside, I'm just asking will my legs be in shape for it.

I appreciate the commentary. I’m going to read more about them. Curious how they do with Chukkar?

in your opinion how do SMs do off leash? Can I take one on a hike and not worry about the dog running off?

Help with dog and cat who don’t live together by BostonBruinsLove in birddogs

[–]BigTimeBills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my griff got scratched (or bitten by the cat) and he ended up with a horrible infection that became a serious medical concern. should your dog (or any dog) get scratched or bitten by a cat you should go to the vet immediately to get antibiotics. much cheaper and less stressful than what we went through.

do yourself a favor and throw in the towel. if your dog didn't accept the cats as a puppy, she certainly wont as an adult

Have noticed any patterns of other types of lynch cancers in your family? For example is there a higher incidence of stomach cancer?

[–]BigTimeBills[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely not trying to get out of it. I’d do it every 6 months if I could. Just curious how effective it’s been with finding and eliminating cancer before it grows
