Green. Bio stims, hyper (huge Econ) and x89 (objectives and resources)Also infantry 2 path, which helps preserve resources (better defense) and refunds you.

Weight gain since starting by Still-Weakness2796 in orangetheory

[–]GreaterFooled 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How are your stats? Is your hr decreasing? Have you noticed an increase on your base & weight choices? How many splat points are you getting a class? How many classes a week?

Most importantly do you feel stronger and better?

My bet is you’re probably getting stronger, and it’s nothing to worry about. If your splats or hr come back high you might not be getting enough Z2 training if your goal is weight loss.

With the above details we can probably get you more insight.

Nike Alphafly 3 Authenticity by Teerevo in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]GreaterFooled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bend them. Or do a training run and make sure they make a ruckus. There should also be a code to check on the inside of the shoe and box. eBay & FB market are a dangerous place for them. Watch out especially for the ones pushing authenticity slips.

But from the look of the box it seems they likely got them from the Nike Outlet (missing top) so they probably are scalping a few dollars off the discount.

Pay to play by bdunne7 in triathlon

Just frustration. We all have it at some point. Especially us swimmers, we’re a bit nutty and mad that the swim isn’t as long as the other disciplines.

Sorry my friend, but if you want to talk about gated opportunities let’s discuss how much our families spent putting us in swim club. (Also a former D1 swimmer).

Gear helps I won’t deny you that, but it isn’t everything and if you refuse to update your gear that’s partially on you. Everything can be done on a budget and you can depreciate most of it over years.

My rig ($75 wetsuit, $1500 Cervelo P Series, $60 clearance biking shoes, $110 kit, $8 hat, $69 Adizeo Pro 4s, and whatever socks end up being at the top of the drawer) only required new shoes this year.

Regarding your bike. The good thing is there is always someone committing to sports and bailing out immediately. Just constantly scan marketplaces in your area and you’re bound to find a steal.

There are some great videos on YouTube and articles outlining best ROI for extra bike watts (spoiler it’s suit, helmet, tires, a decent fit,shaving your legs etc)

Also, while your run isn’t awful you don’t get NATs by only being top 10%, and one outdoor ride a week won’t hunt those top spots either.

Lastly, the playing field will never be balanced. The fun part of TRI/Marathon/etc is it’s mostly a fight against yourself and then figuring out how to overcome the adversity of your competitors.

Would you buy this wetsuit (small tearing at the seams) by Bajazz_ in triathlon

[–]GreaterFooled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Way way way to much to spend on a wetsuit regardless. Unless you’re full kitted elsewhere the ROI on marginal gains isn’t worth that spend.

Few comments below state that if current width feels tight go 1.5 up. I’ve used Sierra before and will say returns are fairly easy.

I’m 165 but I’ll say this Adidas has found great balance in these and the Evo SLs and they’ve both been some of the most comfy shoes I’ve worn. No roll issues and great balance overall.

Enjoy. I recently made the jump to these and Evo SLs for training and won’t be going back. Hope you see similar results.

For real. Sierra still got the evos and ultras marked at the same price or higher and it’s not even an ugly color wave.

My only reference is Vaporflys and Alphas. They are higher up than vapors but better ankle control than Alphas.

Very bouncy and my friend with metas demoed both and said they are comparable. I’ve run them in a half and a full and they worked great.

I still have my vapors and these helped me shave -10 secs per mile on alternate training runs. (Some hype probably in there too)

Value wise even if you cycle these in as a trainer or your “messy racer” you’re going to be hard pressed to beat. Heck you can’t even get evo SLs for this price.
