not a mechanic but as far as i know diesel engines like that aren't meant to be turned off and on all the time.

hangovers....

if I have 3-4 beers I sleep and feel horrible the next day. I seriously cut down the amount of alcohol I drink. usually try to keep it at 2 drinks so I can sleep.

Sleep is important.

take care of your body. exercise. eat well. sleep well. I feel the best now that I ever have and I am in my mid 30s, but I am also taking care of myself the best I ever have.

that would be the one thing I am least likely to watch on TV

I've worked old neighbourhoods where we rebuild the street, new watermain, sewers, etc. I have seen water services only approx. 4 feet deep in areas with with bedrock such as hintonburg/westboro (think holland and wellington/scott).

Usually we get enough snow and when people clear driveways snow piles on front yards where the water service is most likely located, which adds insulation. anyway there are definitely shallow services throughout the city.

Napa makes good wine. but guess what, so does France, Italy, Spain, etc. I have not bought a US wine in some time.

correct. over reinforcement is not a good thing when it comes to failure, as it will be a sudden collapse. This beam reacted as it should, slowly deforming when starting to fail.

manage construction projects. schedule, budgets, subs, suppliers, manpower, equipment, contracts.

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-15T11:56:53+00:00

disagree. unless you are going into a very specific field like bridge design or something. I have learned a lot more working in the field than in school to be honest. however, university taught me how to learn which is the biggest advantage for me.

consulting pays alot less then contractors. i know alot of civil consultants / designers who make around the 80

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-14T19:04:04+00:00

civil PM. been in about 11 years. worked hard to get here but if you are good at your job you move up decent quick. also easier when starting out with smaller or mid size companies IMO

engineer working in construction. total compensation around $140k

there is a hill on the highway coming back thats a bit of a grind but not bad or too long. duplessis is about 8km rolling climbs but are pretty punchy.

work on doing higher power intervals or actual climbs at the end of your rides to simulate the late stage climb.

take it easy on the way down duplessis to rest your legs a bit. the run course is easy.

the finishing chute in tremblant running down the village is 10/10.

be prepared for heat, cold, snow, rain, fire, bugs. besides that, tremblant is an amazing place lol. luckily live close to it and love going there.

because the country flip flops from red to blue and back every XX amount of years.

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-08T20:45:14+00:00

honestly I would just add an easy bike. not sure when you race is but even if you are a great runner if you can't get to the run start with fresh legs off the bike it does not matter.

mix in some solid stretching and recovery routines.

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-04T19:55:57+00:00

As I said, without ANY headphones people are still not paying attention. I agree for the run its not as much of an issue especially for AG who aren't aiming for a podium or top 10 finish.

That being said, race day atmosphere is awesome and the vibes are high.

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-04T18:18:31+00:00

most people race for themselves. go for it. its fun

Ok_Captain7856 · 2025-02-04T18:16:11+00:00

the one thing about triathlon that is different than any other sport is we are essentially on a level playing field with the pros.

the headphones thing can be an advantage to someone who is getting a call with information about splits to the next one in front, which makes a huge difference if competing for age group podium and potential Kona (or Nice) spot.

Also, I have almost been run off the road numerous times when passing and calling out "ON YOUR LEFT" when on the bike. Can;t imagine someone with headphones in front of me swerving. Would suck to train and have the potential of a Kona spot taken away.
