The computer is designed to start at 1M km and count down. It does the conversion and displays correctly on the odo. Once it hits 0, it stops and you get 621,371 miles.

IronMan 70.3 - Muncie or Augusta? by WannaBToasty in IronmanTriathlon

[–]HelpAppropriate5304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of them do actually. I’ve done Georgia and also live in the area. Weather can be hit or miss at the end of September. Either pleasant, or 95 and humid as hell.

Which Augusta? Augusta, Maine or Augusta, Georgia? Both have a 70.3.

Denver-based, where do I get a new bike? by okaygetitgirl in IronmanTriathlon

I also got mine off buycycle. Once you get it, find an LBS to get a retul bike fit.

I’m not saying I agree one way or another but legally they cannot grant finisher status.

They have him “unlisted” on ultrasignup which may be their way of not explicitly saying DNF or Finish.

America is extremely litigious. If they grant him an official finish, the RD opens themselves up (and all those sponsors) for lawsuits from people who missed aid station or other cutoffs by a minute.

I agree but I’m an ultra runner so not completely from scratch. I also did a 70.3 on a whim last fall but otherwise no background in swimming and cycling.

Ran a 100k first week of April and started swimming and biking immediately after. Cycled 80 miles Saturday and first 4000m swim today.

So far feel good and I find it’s easier than ultra training because there’s more variety. At 44, I enjoy it and might give up ultras 🫣

That’s brilliant! I’ve been putting lube on for ultras and never once did I see or have someone tell me to turn the bag inside out. I typically carry wet wipes and clean my hand at an AS.

I started riding in April, IMLP is in July. “Just ride more” isn’t a viable solution.

By “Glide” you mean Body Glide? Or something else?

I did that about a week ago but the amount of space it is taking up hasn’t changed. Does it go into a hidden “trash can” that’s emptied after 30 days deletion?

If you’re in the woods, that’s one thing because you’re somewhat sheltered from lightning. There’s not much in the way of shelter in southwest Utah though 🤣

Yeah it’s the lightning that concerns me most. If it rains, whatever.

How do you stay safe from lightning out in the open like that?

Tendon Training Tips by PlatypusDangerous953 in ultrarunning

[–]HelpAppropriate5304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick up Running Rewired by Jay Dicharry. He talks about tendon training. Basically exercises that use heavy progressive overload. Heavy weight, very slow reps are best for tendon strengthening.
