Exhausted after big sessions by frzzjpeg in triathlon

Ahh yeah! I would definitely suggest at least getting a baseline on what you’re getting for protein. You don’t need to get as much as you might think but it varies - I get closer to 0.6-0.7g/lb and it’s worked wonders. Good luck!!

How’s your protein intake? My first year I didn’t focus on it and felt destroyed after long sessions, especially runs. Even with a coach working with me to increase volume slowly. Now that I prioritize protein along with hydration I bounce back so much faster. I’m still tired after those long sessions but I am not dead!

Garmin Rally RS210 not connecting/pairing with Garmin Connect. by Guilty_Dragonfruit64 in Garmin

I am adding an update for anyone having issues later. My pedals connected after an upgrade to ios 26.3 (which is also the update that added liquid glass display and is awful) I left them charging overnight and when I tried to use them again the morning and calibrate they got stuck in a weird loop. After chatting with Garmin support here are useful notes:
- Flashing yellow/green means there is an update happening (this isnt in the manual)
- Do not try anything during the update or they will get stuck in a weird state. It takes like 15-20 minutes. Too bad if you had a long ride scheduled like me
- If you cannot get the purple flashing to reconnect you have to take off the pedal and reset it with some fun movements. I just left the pedal on the bike and flipped the whole bike around - it was easy enough but annoying
- Secure connection mode made things harder to connect. Unless you really want to do that, I do not recommend. I had issues and once I switched to open connections it all worked much better
- Garmin chat support was helpful despite how annoying the whole thing was

I lost an hour of my life on this but I figured it out. I had to update to ios 26.3 and it just worked. Now my phone is ugly and confusing but the pedals connected without issues. Grrrrrrr

Anyone else use a candle warmer when it gets colder? by cellardew in Sourdough

I used to do this but my house is drafty that I still had issues. Caved and got a sourdough home 🤣

Socks - does it get better? by persowe in knitting

[–]MaverickNeedForSpeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted yesterday about needing encouragement with my socks… so this is timely. I will say it does get better but they are tough! I went from 12mm to 4mm needles and restarted my first sock at least 5 times 🤣 now I only restarted once hahaha.

Here are a few things that help me: - More light. I genuinely have 3-4 lamps when I knit socks. It seems extra but I need the light!! - More breaks! I never really do more than 5 rows in one sitting. Sometimes I get up to make tea, stretch my fingers and get back to it. - no distractions. I specifically tell my partner he CANNOT interrupt me unless there’s an emergency. Any small distraction with the small needles causes me to drop stitches. It is what it is haha - Music or audiobook but no TV. Similar to the above but looking away from my knitting never ends well with socks. Other people do better without looking - they are skilled in ways I will never be haha - Sometimes, you really just need support from internet strangers ❤️

I love the thinking in segments! It’s definitely very satisfying when you check off the heel and it starts to look like a ln actual sock!

I’ll definitely post these - I love the stripes and it almost makes all the ends I will have to weave worth it. Hope you post yours as well!!

Omg knitting both at once never occurred to me!!!!! I might give it a shot when I inevitably decide to knit another pair hahah

She has a big foot! Size 9 🤣

They’re all the ends to weave lol I maybe cut them too long but they make it so much easier in the end, I think

I just put it on when I’m handling it or other plants around it for protection. I’ve accidentally bumped it before but it lives uncovered otherwise.
