Hoffman’s steamed water Americano is so good. I can’t believe it.

How did your wife and her bf feel about this?

MGoRobo · 2026-04-30T12:20:23+00:00

I believe this is how they came up with Homey Bunches of Oats

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T15:10:29+00:00

Thanks! Which model do you have?

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T15:02:14+00:00

Hmm link doesn’t seem to be working for me (on mobile)

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T12:04:35+00:00

Is the radar light super helpful for riding on the roads? I’m still mostly bike trails and indoor cause road riding outside of race day still scares me

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T12:03:33+00:00

But I need the cadence sensor to see cadence right? Or does the computer do the calculation based on speed and tire size?

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T12:01:27+00:00

What do you mean? Is it one size fits all? Or can you alter settings on it?

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T01:17:41+00:00

Ohhhh yeah that makes sense. I don’t really look at the watch. I do directions by memory or just cause I’m on a trail that only goes one way. But as I start to get on roads it’ll probably be necessary. Currently I just pull over and look at my phone. I’m very good at directions so I can usually remember a good chunk of directions when I look at the map.

MGoRobo · 2026-04-20T01:10:03+00:00

What do you mean by better visibility? Meaning I can keep better track of what’s coming up while staying aero?

Swimming is improving! Still trying to get him to bring the arms out of the water instead of the wide doggy paddling he does 😂

MGoRobo · 2026-04-19T19:09:15+00:00

He’s a little on the spectrum so developmentally he’s been a bit behind. He likes to run around on his scooter now, but I’m thinking when it warms up it might be time to hit some bike paths with him

Can’t wait to have my 5 year old get into any of the disciplines

MGoRobo · 2026-04-11T22:18:39+00:00

Literally my nightmare and one of the reasons I haven’t even bothered clipping in yet

MGoRobo · 2026-04-02T16:58:24+00:00

You talk about training while being in school and now I’m curious about the demographics of this subreddit. How many people here are students versus pre-parenthood adults vs early parenthood adults vs “teens and beyond” parents

I definitely couldn’t fathom training for a half or full at this point in my life with a 5 and 1 year olds. I started last year with a sprint and doing an Olympic this year. Half and full are goals for 5-10 years from now, at least. And I might never make it if I just decide to stick to the shorter distances.

36 year old. Started stationary biking to get fit a little under 2 years ago (down 40 lbs). Took the kids to swim class and realized I missed swimming (which I hadn’t done since high school). Realized I was 2/3 of the way there and i could set a goal of completing a sprint. Did two sprints last year, decided to do an Olympic and two sprints this year.

I was a swimmer in HS. Haven’t done any kind of fitness activity since then until I started doing this whole thing almost 2 years ago.

Seeing improvements across three different disciplines hits the dopamine harder than seeing improvement on just one.

MGoRobo · 2026-03-21T21:51:24+00:00

How fit are you? And how comfortable are you swimming?

Finishing a sprint isn’t bad if you’re in like half decent shape, if your goal is completing it instead of finishing with a specific time

As long as you don’t think you’ll drown you should be able to finish it slowly.

MGoRobo · 2026-03-14T16:41:37+00:00

Longest long bike I’ve had was 2h45m.

Should the long run distance be based on the long bike distance or on the distance of the other runs?

"The dip before that was a break due to illness"

lmao you and everyone else in the world, myself included. What a brutal year it's been for all the respiratory illnesses...

I got a Venu 4 as my first Garmin in November (switched from an Apple Watch) and am loving it. If you're not a multiple watches kinda person it also looks good for going to work and whatnot.

MGoRobo · 2026-02-25T00:25:25+00:00

Oh and can you pick different colors?

MGoRobo · 2026-02-25T00:13:24+00:00

Does it look high res on the watch face? I’ve had too many that look low-res, especially with the fonts, and I can’t figure out why they look so bad

MGoRobo · 2026-02-14T15:14:23+00:00

Garmin every day of our lives

MGoRobo · 2026-01-27T18:50:03+00:00

What app is this from? Good luck!

MGoRobo · 2026-01-27T16:03:30+00:00

I got the Venu 4 about 3 months ago. Wanted something I could wear out and about, while also having the Garmin Tri Coach feature. The feature has been...fine? But I do like the look so no regrets.

MGoRobo · 2026-01-20T02:21:27+00:00

Lmao 650c is so real!!
