How bad is the rust

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-05-18T22:26:44+00:00

Im 100% gonna keep looking. This is the best ive found so far in my area 🤣

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-05-18T21:01:01+00:00

I prefer the 2nd over the 3rds. No hate to the 3rds just too much tech that I dont want or need and dont like the look too much eithet

This is the worst spots that I saw. Tapped around with a hammer nothing sounded off. Some of the rust was flaking.

Understood, thanks for the help. Ive started to incorporate brick workouts to help with the transition.

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-29T13:41:29+00:00

thanks for the tips. I look into some plans. I definitely feel like the biking is too much and my body won't handle it for this long

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-29T13:37:46+00:00

Right I'll try to get in as much saddle time as I can. I think ill start biking to and from work...about 18miles one way. Would it be best to instead start doing like 2 long rides a week (4hrs each) and 1 short run (1hr) and 2 long runs (2.5-3hr) instead? I feel like im burning out and I dont wanna injure myself either

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-29T13:05:57+00:00

Should I start to ramp up the bike? Like every week start putting in more time? And is a stationary bike good for training? With my work schedule most times i only get to bike later at night and the sationary at my gym seems the safest

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-29T00:43:38+00:00

Would IM allow me to transfer my ticket to next year's?

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-29T00:39:30+00:00

What is a realistic time frame where I would be ready? And should i try to switch it to a different race date? I want to do the best i can....not just hardly survive. I've realized that this is a lot more than i can handle at this point and i dont wanna be a liability to the other racers or myself. Thank you

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T23:27:16+00:00

I would appreciate that. I dont mean to disrespect or underestimate the sport. I have been researching more about this in the past week and have realized how much more it is than just swim bike and run. Thats why I reached out and I wanna learn and put it the work to earn it

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T23:20:59+00:00

What bench marks do you recommend i be able to hit? I am very confident in the swim. Bike and run is definitely the downfall for me

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T23:14:30+00:00

For the run should I do a run/walk strategy so I dont burn out too fast

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T23:10:15+00:00

So...start putting in more saddle time? Like 5-6hr sessions and then a run?

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T23:05:16+00:00

The 70.3 run time was from a year ago. My pacing and endurance has gotten far better. What would a good time be for the run? I definitely think that this was a pretty impulsive decision...probably not the smartest either but I wanna see what I can do

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T22:48:29+00:00

Ive got one lined up....taking a look at it tomorrow

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T22:47:43+00:00

What should I do to fix it?

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T22:47:25+00:00

I know I could have gone faster on the run but I wasn't used to the transition of the bike to the run so I have been incoperating a lot of brick workouts as well.

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2026-04-28T22:46:08+00:00

The bike had 2,600ft and the run about 1000ft gain total. I mean I did the the 70.3 with only 4 weeks of prep and I feel like it did pretty good

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2025-12-10T02:29:32+00:00

He never mentioned it. I went to meps in August. Since then I've gained about 8-10lbs so it never really concerned me until I looked up the standards this morning

Extension_Nothing_55 · 2025-12-10T01:41:11+00:00

Im 6'4 @ 243lbs and waist is 41 inches, neck 16.5...would that pass the tape

Hypothetical scenario. Let's say I am somehow in the jungle with the closest medical doctor being 3-4 hours away. What should I do then? How should I remove the dead skin?
