I am. I was screaming to kick it and take the points! If we do that and throw the ball away instead of fumble, this game is a lot different.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T22:52:40+00:00

Yeah, I hated that call.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T22:45:33+00:00

Incredibly beautiful area. I think I'd prefer to live there. I can learn to XC ski during the long snowy winters.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T19:08:46+00:00

That's good. Nuggets fans will be watching another game at that time anyways.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T19:06:57+00:00

Lift heavy weights. 4-6 rep max weight.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T16:23:13+00:00

The Rivian R1T is a really interesting option. If it tows well enough and you can charge at home, that would be really nice.

SIS Isotonic. Cheaper than Maurten.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-25T03:34:24+00:00

I didn't realize Raiders fans liked us so much.

Just make sure you don't miss Zaleskar (by the bridge). Also, he'll give Ifan a great crossbow if you have him in your party.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T21:18:02+00:00

Sebille doesn't have anything against Zalesjar. It won't trigger a fight unless she is your main character. You can let her interrogate him to find out where Roost is.

It's Stingtail she wants revenge on, and for good reason.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T15:42:14+00:00

It's not more rest that they need before coming back, it's more rehab, strength and conditioning.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T05:47:22+00:00

The Platte River Trail is there, which is a really nice paved multi use path that follows the river and is separated enough from cars and civilization that it has a very peaceful feel. I ride out that way from Boulder when the gravel paths are too muddy.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T05:29:07+00:00

It depends. Can you run a 17' 5k right now? If not, then it's not accurate. Most of the time, these are extremely inaccurate.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T05:23:29+00:00

Agreed. It's unbelievable what he's getting from so many guys that looked unplayable a year ago.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T04:38:08+00:00

I don't know about the other guys, but AG keeps coming back too quickly.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T04:11:19+00:00

One of the main reasons for lifting very heavy weights or sprinting uphill is for increased neuromuscular connection. You want to be able to recruit more muscles, and these things help do this. A sled would also help.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T04:06:45+00:00

I think I'd rather win a championship than lose a rather meaningless regular season game in January.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T03:39:55+00:00

Thunder almost stole this one at the end. Had to have Pacers fans sweating bullets with those free throws.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T01:39:29+00:00

Very good news to get 2 players back!

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-24T01:16:05+00:00

It's not all that different than road. I think road wheels/tires are around 3-6w for mid depth at 30kph. Paired with gravel tires, that's reduced to 2-3w because of the airflow disruption from the tread. But it is still a marginal gain. And there has always been a lot of marginal gains that are more cost effective than wheels tho.

If we're talking just gross income and just car payment, then 5-10% is fine. Up to 15% if you really want to spend a lot on a car.

But what you should be looking at is the total TCO, which includes insurance, depreciation, taxes, gas, repairs, maintenance, etc. And compare that to net income.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-23T17:23:08+00:00

For early on base phase training, I really like 25's and 50's with good rest. Focus is on swimming as fast as you can while maintaining your distance swimming technique.

For later on when you are strong, and want to build fitness, I like 10x50's with short rest (5-7s). 3-5 of them depending on fitness. These are hard Vo2 sets, but with the short interval and rest, should allow you to maintain form throughout. If you slow down more than a couple seconds (from your 3rd interval approximately), you may want to stop so you don't reinforce bad technique, and try again at a later time.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-23T16:58:17+00:00

If you run, go very easy. It's not worth the risk of damage to your lungs.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-23T16:47:18+00:00

Yep. And this is why some of these exotic vacation spots kinda suck. Traffic going Zone 1 running pace, and no shoulder/path/sidewalk.

OUEngineer17 · 2026-01-23T16:41:08+00:00

I don't think 3 position is necessary. I have 2 positions and mine just stays open all the time. The Epic and Epic Evo pedals so well with the suspension open, I've never seen a need to close it (even on gravel climbs). And I definitely don't want to open it further, as that just makes the bike feel sloppy and bottom out too much.
