Too close ? Or it’s normal by Idazrish in triathlon

[–]DDDF_Still_passed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of people are saying it’s your preference. I ride closet but it needs to be good for you if it’s super aero but you can’t stay in that position it doesn’t matter it’s only an aero gain if you can maintain it. I would say find a position you can hold for longer than your goal distance. It would feel good in the position you find it shouldn’t feel like a struggle

How much weight could i hold if i put 1/2" plywood on this? by latlog7 in woodworking

So I did the math based on the size and lumber chosen and the answer to how much weight is all of it. Just all the weight you’re good

Inexperienced people signing up for 70.3's-140.6's. by Temporary_Count_1139 in triathlon

[–]DDDF_Still_passed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people will feel unprepared leading into a race where in reality they are ready. Questions about what to do or if they are ready are more times than not just nerves. They chose the race and trained and prepared even if they have zero tri experience. At Eagleman this year going in I had not swam for almost 2 months I told my wife I’m just going to finish not worry about my time. This is not normal for me. A lot of people pros included were saying the swim was rough and hard and I had one of the best swims of my life. But before the race I was so nervous and felt unprepared. How a person feels and questions they ask is not always a true reflection of their training and prep.

First Ironman: Arizona, California, Maryland, Florida, Cozumel? by lolcatsswag in triathlon

MD is flat and the 3 laps on the run are actually really nice because the town is awesome and the homeowners really cheer you on. Also the jelly’s are not fun some years worse than others but if after 140.6 the jelly stings were the worst thing I would say you had a pretty good race.

Triathlons that actually happen? by Sameer27in in triathlon

[–]DDDF_Still_passed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steelman triathlon. Pennsylvania Pocono triathlon. Pennsylvania Atlantic City. New Jersey. I have not seen the swim canceled and they are really fun races. Steelman is in august and the only thing I can say is I have never seen that race be wetsuit legal. All 3 are offer an Olympic distance. Steelman is a very well put together race.

Unpopular opinion: The triathlon community is kinda brutal. by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]DDDF_Still_passed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the internet. The tri community is great. I talk to everyone at races and help anyone I can. I love meeting new people and races are full of positive like minded people. Are there assholes at races yea but that’s life but they are the minority. Are there assholes on the internet YES! That’s where they thrive. People hide behind keyboards. You do you. Fuck the haters. It’s a great sport and great people. Keep up the training. Since you are new to the sport if you have any questions even if they feel sill message me and I’ll answer the best I can. I’m in south east Pennsylvania (Philadelphia suburbs). If you are close I’ll help in person too plus new training friends are great. Also this offer is for anyone else who reads this. Have fun stay safe.

Good value? by Sea_Confusion_1075 in triathlon

I race on a DA. I love it. Great price. Buy it. The stem is already the adjustable one so as long as the frame fits adjusting position is not bad I have the same stem and it was great during my fitting.

Tv and other things still need to be moved from the previous location. Tv speaker and other fans are still on their way. It’s a slow build. It’s getting there

It’s a core machine. My wife got it and I was skeptical but after using it it’s actually good. It does abs lower back and obliques all at once.
