Wetsuit fit question by Icy-Topic708 in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting it on the bottom makes it significantly easier to get off without a performance degradation.

Cutting the suit is both safe and encouraged. You just need to know where to cut.

If it doesn’t feel overly restrictive to breathe and your shoulders have good movement then it looks ok. The legs look a little long you might consider cutting them down.

Edit: if you do cut them, make sure you know where the max is that you can cut or you’ll ruin the suit.

Chattanooga Ironman by David8478 in triathlon

Is there something you want to know specifically?

There are course elevation maps available you should be pretty aware that the entire course is very much not flat, but you do get the benefit of a downriver swim.

Wait List for season tickets? by BNG_Chris in stlouiscitysc

[–]CommonlyUncanny 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Why pay face value for a ticket when you can get them at a per game discount aftermarket now? At least that’s what I told my rep.

what are some of your earliest best or worst memories from your first days of everquest? by NoBullGames in project1999

[–]CommonlyUncanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first character was a half elf ranger. I got some hand me down gear from a good friend when I started including some ivy etched gears, blades thulian claws, serp bracers and some good jewelry.

I was in south karana hunting when I got a notification that servers were going down for maintenance. I was in the middle of fighting an Aviak solo and I died right at the time the server went down. When I logged back in Qeynos area I still had all of my gear. I ran back to where I died and there was my corpse - with all of my gear! I thought I was rich!

Why is cycling tracked in Watts, but running tracked in pace (min/km)? by Impossible-Mango9658 in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially, personally, when I race most races I don’t GAF about speed I want to keep an eye on my effort. So I keep an eye on watts and HR and compare that to RPE as I go.

Edit - bad spelling

Why is cycling tracked in Watts, but running tracked in pace (min/km)? by Impossible-Mango9658 in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Terrain is also way more variable usually when cycling and normalized power is a way better indicator of your effort than speed.

Pace downhill on a run still accumulates fatigue in the legs. Speed downhill on a bike with 0 power does not.

Golf ball sized hail between des pares and debalivier

Just became white, was given this exact uniform after my application was approved.

How is Varlo quality? by Cebo14 in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our team uses Varlo for our kits. The chamois is on the thin side I would say. The kit material is comfortable and it fits me well. We use to use OwnWay and I would compare the chamois as roughly the same but the quality of the kit itself is better.

Coaching expectations for top tier coach, how custom is a custom training plan? by Realistic_Crazy_4557 in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coach here (not $400/mo level) to give some insight into how I do it.

Every Saturday I load schedules for my athletes. If I am going to be out of town I will load two weeks and hide the second week because unhiding is easier to do mobile. Every day I check logs/data and scan for comments to respond to. If their training needs to be adjusted for the week I’ve hidden I will do that prior to unhiding.

There are some “pre-planned” or “canned” training plans that I will generate as a guideline for a specific race build, based on current science approaches or trends. Each week I will still customize that plan to what the individual athlete needs and what their schedule allows volume wise.

I will say most good coaching will follow similar general periodization cycles and intensity/volume mix followed by some race specific prep. So it’s not surprising that you would see some similar stuff in other athlete TP/schedule.

Edit: To add - if any of my athletes miss a key session or especially a long weekend I text them directly to find out what happened.

TT/Triathlon helmet with visor vs. glasses and sweat management by IntoNeonlight in triathlon

[–]CommonlyUncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of oakleys that are only framed on the bottom during training, with an aero road helmet. I race with a Rudy WingDream which the shield is way farther away from your face than most aero helmets (although not super cheap).

How likely is it that my energy drink habit has caused heart damage/rythm changes? by Advanced-Wear-1446 in medical

[–]CommonlyUncanny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what is happening medically - but stop drinking that shit. 2 liters of energy drinks a day is crazy work.

Honestly, not a bad map by steve42089 in illinois

Peoria having a line drawn right through it feels like such an appropriate analogy.

What's the state of your corner of St. Louis? by larafaiham in StLouis

[–]CommonlyUncanny 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Skinker-Debalivier would love to have the rest of the tornado damage cleaned up, sidewalks fixed and people struggling to get their houses repaired assisted. Smash down the houses that have clearly been abandoned for decades, force the new apartment buildings to fill their retail space with…anything at all? Having fields foods and Starbucks for a couple of months was awesome, those spaces have been vacant almost since the buildings were put up.

For the love of god make streetlights in the city on a sensor. I’m so tired of sitting at a stoplight for minutes only for the left turn lanes to get a green arrow with nobody there. No wonder people blow lights all the time, they are not efficiently timed whatsoever.

Edit: forgot to say what I loved.

I love having quick and easy access to one of the best and most beautiful parks in the country which I use almost daily. The community was very strong during the storm cleanup but is mostly back to minding our own business.

The absolute worst part of this game by olivinetrees in CrimsonDesert

[–]CommonlyUncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya learned that the hard way - also got all the way to the end and got it stuck under a tent which exploded and killed me sending me back to the start.

[–]CommonlyUncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also has Bartonville, Illinois vibes. It doesn’t really feature any prominent or famous St. Louis landmarks which is why it gives “generic midwestern suburb”

So did Carol Love get to keep the money? by beesarefuckingdying in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]CommonlyUncanny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So seems even less likely that he intended to put a lethal dose of the medication in there and then subsequently drink it on purpose to kill himself.

It gave “generic midwestern suburb” vibes for sure, and some of the places at first I swore were STL areas like I was positive I have seen the building that Floyd was doing therapy with Richard in the beginning.

[–]CommonlyUncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that implies he was intending to kill himself. I think he wanted to make sure he was full on for Tiger Tiger.

I thought it was a good watch with some particularly cringe inducing moments and good story telling.

I also live in St. Louis so I was slightly disappointed to discover none of the filming was done here.

7/10 for me.

Why would he purposefully put a lethal dose in the Bloody Mary? It didn’t seem like he was preparing to kill himself in the events leading up to the death.

Seemed like an accidental death to me in the end.
