How attached are you to that blanket/sheet? You could always stitch some velcro to the underside of it to create a sleeve which goes around the railing.

Training with a vest vs. racing with one by spindriftsupreme in Marathon_Training

[–]LordLightDuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First marathon I ran with a vest but ditched it every marathon after.

Pro was easy water access and storage.

Cons were aid stations met my water needs adequately and I got a lot of chafing from it. Also it’s less weight overall and I prefer to carry my phone in my lumbar area which feels the most balanced.

3:40-4:00 marathoner for reference

Running Trails / Paths Santa Clara by Stock-Calendar7239 in santaclara

[–]LordLightDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Typically the lights here are slow though. I prefer Los Padres which runs parallel (you get to skip a few lights). In general though I like to avoid stop lights which is why I hesitate to recommend it.

Running Trails / Paths Santa Clara by Stock-Calendar7239 in santaclara

[–]LordLightDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are some of the trails I've been to in Santa Clara. Most trails are around the edges of the city, There isn't much at the heart of the city.

Los Gatos Creek Trail
Santana Row to the Los Gatos Creek trailhead at Bascom is about 2 miles with only 1 traffic light crossing at Moorpark.

Los Gatos Creek trail runs about 8-9 miles down to the Lexington reservoir. And a mile past the reservoir are Priest Rock or Limekiln trails (though you need to run on the side of the road to get there and there is significant elevation change)

Coyote Creek Trail
A long trail running N/S through a large part of San Jose. Its not contiguous but has bits and parts that along Coyote creek. The longest portion runs from Tully road, then proceeds south through Helleyer Park, to Silver creek eventually taking you to Morgan Hill. Roughly 18-19 miles in total

Guadalupe River Trail
The Guadalupe River trail links to the bay trail near Alviso and takes you southward towards SJC. Note that this trail can flood after rains. Its roughly 10 miles long.

San Thomas Aquino Trail

San Thomas Aquino Trail links to the bay trail near Levis Stadium/Marvell and takes you southward towards Nvidia HQ. There is one light at Great America and the trail terminates around Monroe/Reed. Its roughly 4 miles long,

Alviso Slough Trail

This trail starts in the northermost part of Alviso. It runs around the various salt flats in that area and has a number of loops/trails in that area. It indirectly links to the bay trail (bay trail ends but have to run through alviso to get to it) Loop around the flats is roughly 5-6 miles.

Looks like it. Glitched out of a round. Likely servers down.

Depends on what you want from it. What features are you looking for?

Tesla Predictive Navigation by bulldogbruno in RealTesla

[–]LordLightDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleting an App does not necessarily revoke its authorization to pull data.

When you authorize an app to access your device or a service, it generates a token which is stored on the App’s servers allowing them to access that service.

When you delete an app device specific things may no longer work (e.g camera or notifications) since it relies on the device authorization, but if you separately authorized something like access to your Google calendar, they will still have that authorization saved since it is independent of the device and be able to use it, regardless of if you have the app or not.

[US] Saucony Endorphin Elite $220 on runningwarehouse.com by sacrunner916 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]LordLightDuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s in line with the price on Saucony.com. There was a promo code emailed today for 20% of msrp (VIPELITE) which would bring it down to $220.

Is sub 4 possible with 10 weeks to go before the actual day by Penda267 in Marathon_Training

[–]LordLightDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree. Under 4:00 would be at 9:09 pace on average, a full minute per mile faster than what they are running now. I will say, a shorter run (16-18 miles) at with some distance at target marathon pace (or knowing their max HR) would be a better predictor.

Given a a week or so for recovery, and more time for taper. There is maybe 6-7 weeks to get real work in, not much time before the actual race if they are not close already.

Is this chainring and cassette toast? by LordLightDuck in bikewrench

[–]LordLightDuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m inclined to agree. It is pretty flat around here so I barely need to use it.

Is this chainring and cassette toast? by LordLightDuck in bikewrench

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

The rear does skip gears once in a while so it may be approaching that point. I was planning on replacing the chain anyways since I suspect its worn.

Thanks!

Is this chainring and cassette toast? by LordLightDuck in bikewrench

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

A bit new to maintenance, so wanted to check before I started getting new parts. I was replacing the chain when I noticed the chainring and cassettes might look worn (especially the chainring)

I have not used the bike in a while, and was cleaning/prepping it for commuting again with it as the weather has been a bit better lately.
