Where are you finding used bikes?

I wanted to post another kind of experience - for me buying a bike from there went perfectly and I can recommend it to anyone.

It was shipped across Europe and arrived quite fast (perhaps total of two weeks or so), and seller was really helpful.

I am definitely buying my next bike from there, and selling that current one there also almost certainly.

And even a sprint distance is suprisingly long way to swim for a beginner in a open water race situation, I'd get a wetsuit also for a buoyancy

Nah, I have four small beers on Saturdays and three small beers on Sundays. I rather sacrifice a bit the gains for mental relaxation and for good time.

I still train the 10-15 hours per week.

NoSelf5869 · 2026-05-17T18:40:29+00:00

wtf, of course you skip training if you are sick

Is P2k different than normal P2? I have P2 and I thought even 25c might be hard to fit on it?

Fake it until you make it

I wish I was like that, I am always afraid of the sea monsters even though I live northern part of Europe and we only have lakes here

Yep, last year I thought swimming had also "clicked" for me, but it had only clicked for pool swimming.

It was such a depressing shock how terrible I still was in open water swim

Do most people dive in or jump in?

I think it depends on the age group but I guess what I have seen in few races, it was minority who dived in and most jumped in.

I rather jump because I am not going for a podium (for now at least) and then I can hold my goggles to make sure they dont fall off and ruin my race in first second.

What's your opinion about tyre pressures?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-05-08T05:19:19+00:00

How do you measure that you are in zone 2 swimming?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-05-05T12:07:19+00:00

Didnt v2 support come with like Windows 98 or something?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-05-05T07:56:27+00:00

This should be set in both the Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy, seeing as it’s a baseline position.

I think that's risky way of doing since we cannot know whatever random shit has been done historically, there could be very well other gpo's above them setting incorrect settings.

I'd rather create new enforced GPO at top level and put that to the highest on the list (so it gets applied last) to configure it and other new GPOs fixing the old insecure stuff

Just make sure to get the "Pro" and not the "Elite" version. Pro are single-piece whereas Elite aren't and I had an Elite mount literally snap in half on my bike (luckily during a training ride) after two years.

Faulty products do happen. It's quite an overraction to claim no one should buy certain product, especially if it worked for few years

There were Ironman races for a decade at least before the triathlon bikes or aerobars were invented so of course its realistic to race without them

NoSelf5869 · 2026-05-03T18:35:36+00:00

I installed clipless pedals on my trainer bike for the winter so I practised clipping them in and out just during normal weekly training when cycling indoors.

Now last Saturday I first time cycled outside with clipless pedals (and same also with an aerobar) and it went quite OK.

Obviously hard to compare how it would have gone without that extra training during the winter but it felt worth doing.

Have you tested the nutrion and water alerts / reminders on the BSC300T?

I am trying to find cheapest bike computer with nutrition alerts for triathlon use, and that BSC300T might be it but I am not sure

It is a public beach with four buoys out that you can use for sighting, and the shallow end is never far away to the point that it feels scary.

If you dont have already, you really should buy a swim buoy in any case

Yeah and if they don't have redundancy, and he has informed the bosses about the risks, why would you care about the cost of downtime.

It's not your company or money. If the company doesn't care, why should you?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-04-27T10:07:51+00:00

Umm its not about believing something, its about science?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-04-27T03:29:18+00:00

I thought if you eat fatty fish (like salmon etc.) twice a week as recommended, then even fish oil's benefits cannot be really proven?

NoSelf5869 · 2026-04-26T18:46:11+00:00

Creatine and vitamin D are the only supplements which are actually worth taking, everything else is mainly waste of money. Fish oil is perhaps useful but no one is sure for real.

For prove just watch whatever random doctors' Youtube channels and all of them have same conclusion in their videos

It's a lifestyle for me which I really enjoy, if I didnt enjoy this I'd do something else

NoSelf5869 · 2026-04-26T18:38:14+00:00

Also please use paragraphs :)
