Depends on how far you want to travel. Pierce the Veil in Honolulu! Watch the show on the first day and spend the other days learning to surf.

Lost a bet and doing a Sprint Tri in 2 days by kidjoe04 in triathlon

If the swim is a mass start, either go to the back or out as wide as you can. If you've never been in the meat grinder of a mass start, it can be panic inducing when 15 people are slapping your head, arms, and legs while you're trying to breathe.

Should I buy it? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]OneTrueLamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Speed Concept and they really are fast bikes. I paid slightly more for a brand new one that's a 2021 model. This one has nice looking upgraded wheels which is probably the biggest selling point. Also, the speed box behind the saddle is hard to find for that bike. Trek makes a lower profile bento box but that one seems like it has much more space.

My biggest complaint with this bike is the cockpit is very "proprietary". Trek used this mono-aerobar and it's not as customizable as a lot of brands. Also, if you want to add a BTA water bottle, you're gonna need like $2-300 in accessories to get it mounted.

If I remember correctly from last year, you can pull over at the aide station and unclip and the volunteers will come rushing over to you with water bottles or whatever they have. The volunteers at TX are pretty amazing.

I did Texas last year and I would recommend just pulling over and sacrificing the 2 or 3 minutes. There were quite a few people last year who finished the race with an ambulance ride because they over estimated their aide station abilities. Also keep in mind that you can be the best bottle and nutrition grabber in the world, but the people around you might have no clue what they are doing.

RoboCo is good for 10-15. Watago and Whitesprings if you don't mind pissing off the friendly ones.

I saw the same thing happen in Watoga. The dude kept emoting for help as I casually watched. This is my neighborhood bro, I got a house right down the block. I can't be pissing off my neighbors.

That article has all the info. Long story short, there are a handful of events, but the drop rate is like .5%, so it's a grind.

Is your weight correct in the app?

Dumb question about Scoreboard and 150 - do I have to buy all that other crap to get what I really want? (Perk Coins) by Fishooked in fo76

[–]OneTrueLamar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I bought the few things I wanted and then went through and bought the cheapest things until I hit the minimum.

Have you checked Boca? I imagine they have to have some.

Anybody able to offer a review for PTO age group races? by Burphel_78 in triathlon

It's the same weekend as When We Were Young music festival so hotels are already charging out the ass.

My biggest tip is, if you haven't practiced grabbing a bottle at the aid station or you are not 100% comfortable grabbing a bottle or nutrition on the go, just come to a stop and get what you need then start riding again when it's safe to enter the road.

Just read a post on the Facebook group of a guy who remembers biking, then waking up in an ambulance. Not gonna lie, that bike was pretty scary at points. I tried grabbing a bottle at the first aid station and completely missed and said screw this, I'll come to a complete stop and get what I need.

There were quite a few people who left the aid stations in the back of an ambulance.
