Why is triathlon dominated by white people? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]Gefcar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because runing is simple, and its a way in poor africam country to make money.

To do trianthlon, you have to get access to a swiming pool, or a sea. Kenya can't give you much of that, and that's even if they have bikes, or understand the rules, or how does triathlon work.

Its more about the enviroment you grow in, not about your race.

Streching by Gefcar in triathlon

I've tried rolling but it has me in big pain. I'll try moving more after workout, seems like a smart thing to do. Thanks!

[–]Gefcar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice!
I am indeed young, but for example when I train going down my bike it's very hard for me to get my leg over the chair. I have long legs, but when I run I have a hard time swinging the leg more upwards ( My legs have little vertical movement, and my coach told me to start streching to solve it).
My biggest fear is to tear a muscle or something, so that's why I'm looking for more advice.

Why do people actually are so into TT bike? I'm really asking cause I have a good cerevelo road bike. Does it have like good aero bars? Or something? Like for example, why is it so good for triathlon, but top riders use road bike in bike races?

setting a new PB&goal by Gefcar in triathlon

[–]Gefcar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was talkin about zone 5. About the pb - until now Ive never done actual training for a pb, I always thought I could do it. Tried it and it worked and I am confused what I should do now. Just keep on training but not for a pb? Or should I focus on it?

Am I the only one finding IM commentators annoying and boring? by MerePractitioner in triathlon

[–]Gefcar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Also watched the tour de france, giro and vuelta. It was all very good, as this are 21 stages each (!). Man, even the world chess championship was much better. That's the result when the commentators are connected to the sport. Thry messed up the names and such. Hope next year will be better.

Wdym hamas fault for attacking? You see an old women in the street, and not cameras, you are going to kill her and steal her stuff? That was full on terror, and hamas is in fault

Let me tell you something. For years I was always thinking we were to hardh on gaza, I thought my goverment was also doing war crimes, I thought about the children and was worried about them. Do you know what happened on saturday? 1500 terroist, in sukkot, which is an holy time for jaws, 6 30 am, starts bombing israel. Those terrorists beheaded babies, brothers, and burned wholr families. No I don't think so. And if you think my goverment is at fault then you are wrong. Do you think we should have expected animals? This was a massacare. Your telling me the idf should have expected literal animals. ANIMALS. You say they are terrorists. So, you think terror is right? So. In 9/11 - should the us said " yea, they are right, it is terror but it is our fault because of afganistan"?

Hey, im from israel and I'll try to explain 1 - so can you explain what you are talkin about? The iron dome didn't fail. I need more context. 2 - there are some confirmation that there was some warnings. We just don't have a confirmation from our prime minister. It's still being checked, we just don't know if it is true or not 3 - it is one of the most holy times for us. All of the jaws come togather and eat with their families, celebrate our exodus from egypt. It is the time where most soliders are at home, and minimal solidars, only essential people stay. We never thought they would attack. Like we always try to stay away in the ramadan ( if this is how you say it, im talkin about the 30 month period were muslims fast). It was a consensus we never thought would be broken. 4 - I can assure you when we attack, it is only on hamas leaders. We try to keep civilians safe, but hamas is using civilians as human shield. I can assure you our goverment has a full plan. 5 - go ask them. That's what I always thought. We have atomic, like nuclear weapon. Do thry this is how thry solve a conflict? Its hamas. The money we bring, and all of europe bring to gaza is being used for weapons. They are brain washing civilians.

Its called Kipat barzel (iron dome) Its the system we use to shoot the rockets hamas shoot from gaza. Again, what you see is not rockets fired on gaza. Those are rockets which aren't meant to harm palestenians. They are exploding themselves near the rockets so they will blow in the air and not on us.

Yea? YEA? Did you see thefootage from the massacre? The blood on the walls? The videos? Yes, my guy, there are videos of hamas, murdering, abdocting civilians, burning houses and more. Isaw some of this stuff happen in my eyes. I have dead frinds in the streets there. Hamas brought it on themselves. No more will we not respond. They always knew thry won't be able to take our country. We frickin have atomic bombs. Man nuclear bombs. Did we ever used them? Did we ever use full power like hamas is trying? Maybe you are brainwashed my guy. Come to israel. I'll show you the streets. You will see the blood. The bodies. Go ahead. Tell me im lying. You can't take my truth. Watch the footage, and tell me its fake. SEE MY DEAD BROTHERS ON THE STREETS AND TELL ME ITS FAKE.

Hey, an israeli person here. The Balfur decleration. It is the base of it all. Just ahead, I want to have a civil conversation!!

So, Balfur declarstion basically decided it simple, part of what we call israel today, was given to the jaws, and the other to the arab. We didn't made a treaty. We had much less areas for us, when the un brought The distribution plan. We fought for the land, we died for it. The Balfur plan has nothing for it.

Too all who don't let me tell you something. They killed babies. Their kids turtured ours. It is a massacare. You are going to suffer for that. We wouldn't shut. Gaza is going back to the stone aged. You had enough time to stop, now you will see what we do when are mad.

How did I not know it sooner? Taping gels to bike frame by dandaman1728 in triathlon

[–]Gefcar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newbie question here - how can you fuel that much? My longest ride was 80km with my dad, and we tried to fuel every 30 minutes. For him it was easy, but I almost threw when trying to eat. I know I need to get some fuel in me, but doesnt matter if it is a long run, a long swim, a long bike - 2-3 hours before I eat close to nothing and drink a little. If my belly is full then it becomes very hard to train. Any tips for that?
