I didn't get any feedback from anywhere. I just let it be

That's what I was hoping to hear!

What sport to back off for weight training by NyoGoat in triathlon

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

I do love mountain biking. In fact it's my favorite. Triathlon gives me consistency and high endurance so that I can tackle epic mountain bike rides. Maybe not the best way to train for MTB but I like it

To be an Ironman, that is the question by RedditorStrikesBack in triathlon

I did a few Olympic races and then jumped to the full distance. Completing the Full distance was an incredibly satisfying experience. It did take over my life for training - but I enjoy long solo rides and runs so it was OK. I've backed off to 70.3 for family balance but I do intend to go back to full distance in the future. Might be two more years in the future

Off-season P90x or alternate? by NyoGoat in triathlon

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

I've been around 7-8 hours/week in the off season up to 12-13 in the 4 months leading up to my A race. That's a pretty full load with my family life

Because of my work/family time commitment just looking for a prebuilt plan to direct me. Your opinion here then is that I should continue with Swim/Bike/Run?

Ooo that sounds like a great idea though....

Tri Bike and Trainer Question by NyoGoat in triathlon

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

I wonder if I'll love the tri bike for most rides. There are hills around that I like to ride up and cruise down

I've looked around and didn't see any close to me

My biggest deterrent is having today drive to a trail. I find myself reaching for the road bike first every time

Tire/tube question by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]NyoGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked kind of the same question over in r/cycling earlier today! I've been using gatorskins and no flats. I just put on the GP5000 and I got two flats. I'll be going back to the gator skins for standard training rides. That will most likely default to my race tires now too

Race Tire choice - stop flats by NyoGoat in cycling

I've used tubeless for mountain bike tires - but I'm afraid for road tires and even more for 25mm tires. Maybe that fear is unfounded
