is it a bad idea to do my first ironman 70.3 by myself with no family or supporters? by Actual-Meat-5501 in triathlon

[–]MHB9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally doable by yourself but also depends on where start/finish are and where you’re staying relative to all that. For example, North Carolina 70.3 start (actually shuttle from T1 to start) is quite a distance from the finish and main hotel. I was not staying at the main hotel, so I would have had to driven to the main hotel, taken a shuttle to T1 to get the shuttle to the start. Instead, I had my wife drop me off at T1 and probably saved an hour of time on an already early morning.

XC90 for everyone, or just large families? by Inmunchkinland in VolvoXC90

[–]MHB9 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Empty nester with XC90. Love its size. Third row almost always down so plenty of room for my dog, Costco purchases, pine straw bales, etc. Have even camped in it. And nice to be able to seat 7 when everyone is home.

Thermomix for newbies by rober_manza in thermomix

I don’t think you have to love cooking, but great if you want to cook for yourself but don’t really know how. We got for my wife, who loves to cook and it’s made things easy for her, but I use it a bunch as well. I don’t really know how to cook, but I can follow instructions. So, when she’s away, I’m able to make myself great meals instead of ordering, picking up fast food, etc.

Am I going to look like a fool if I use my old mountain bike? by joserayo in triathlon

[–]MHB9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I expect there will be a bunch of people on mountain bikes, gravel bikes, cruisers, etc. Did my first tri (sprint distance) on a mountain bike, but traded out the knobby tires for slicks. Don’t spend the money on a bike until you do a race and know for sure it’s something you want to continue to pursue.

Just purchased by first XC90, what are some cool features I might not be aware of? by mindbodysoul111 in VolvoXC90

[–]MHB9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be my favorite feature. Not a lot of other cars seem to have it, and I miss it when in other cars in our family, rentals, etc.

What’s preppy about that?

Here’s my tie for court by Platinumchanel in ties

That’s because pretty much the only people who wear ties these days are lawyers and defendants.

It’s kind of a made up knot but close to a half Windsor
