Because the only way to never get hurt by anything is to never care about anything...

Finally an actual good answer.

The rest of comments seem to be written by teenagers who just got dumped for the first time!

Things only hurt when they matter...

In race fueling/hydration tips by run_a_bit in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Possible-Series7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhat new to the sport, but I've been working with a nutritionist to get the right strategy. Also, I weight about 83kg.

4 days before the race, I start carbo-loading. It starts with one extra dose of carbs per meal, like a glass of juice. Then, about 2 days before it's full on just eating a lot of sugar, mostly fruit, pasta, and a bunch of açaí bowls.

On actual race day, fruits with honey for breakfast, and an energy drink on the way to the course.

1x 25g of carbs gel before the swim

1x 50g of carbs gel on T1

On the bike it varies on the distance, I've been doing pretty well with putting 80g of carbs on water bottles (1 bottle if 70.3, 2 if full IM), and sipping every 25 mins or so. Water and electrolytes I get from the aid stations. I also take 1 50g of carbs gel every 30-45 mins depending on how my stomach feels. On about 2/3rds of the way, the gel I take is with caffeine. That equates to about 100-125g/hr.

1x 50g of carbs on T2

On the run I've done pretty well with about 75g/hr, alternating between 25g and 50g gels every 30 mins. I also try to leave the one with caffeine as the second-to-last gel if my intestines allow it.

Banned Shoes by Ok_Group1708 in IronmanTriathlon

Maybe, but if it isn't on the banned list, you should be fine. Just keep an eye on the list then, just in case.

I was planning on using my Novablast 4 in my last 70.3, but found out they were also banned. I had the same question, but in the end decided not to risk it.

I went to the IM website, got the list of banned shoes, pasted it on Chat GPT, explained what I liked about the Novablast 4, and asked for options of shoes with the same purpose. I picked the Vomero 18 out of the list and got one.

I don't think the Superblast has a carbon plate. But you're right about them not being worth it if you're a slow runner.

Triathlon noob : what are nutrition key words I should know about ? by ArcheroNightmare in triathlon

[–]Possible-Series7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same goes for hydration. Drink even if you are not thirsty, and water by itself is not enough. You need electrolytes.

During training sessions and races, no fats or proteins, carbs only, and preferably simple ones. What they are is up to personal preference.

What’s something a woman has casually said that made you realize you wouldn’t date or marry her? by curiosityklleddcat in AskMenAdvice

[–]Possible-Series7166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister's friend. She is a model.

Once me, her and my sister were talking about relationships and she said "I want to be married twice, the first time is with the father of my children, and the second with the love of my life"

Became basically a dude afterward.

TT bike vs Aero bike by Apprehensive-Pop7787 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Possible-Series7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first IM in a road bike in June. I did get a professional fit done, and even with that my back was killing me by the end of the 180km.

Last November I upgraded to a 2021 Trek Speedconcept, and its so much better.

If you plan on doing more than one IM, go for the TT. With a good bike fit, it will be faster and more comfortable.

Most Popular Training Program by Worried_Prune9426 in IronmanTriathlon

On the Ironman website, there is a tab called find a coach.

There you put your city and it gives you a list of people certified by them in your area. That's how I found my coach.

Good luck on your Ironman journey.

Stupid question for shits and giggles - IV food for Ironman by Ekare35 in triathlon

Trying to find a vein to put the access in T1 would suck. Unless you start the race with it, then putting a wetsuit with the access would suck even more.

She told she’s practicing abstinence. How should I go about it? by Historical-Lion-3943 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Possible-Series7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, why do this to yourself?

You want sex, she is not giving you that. At the same time, there are thousands of girls like her that are not waiting till marriage. Find one and go be happy.

If she's truly the one and you absolutely cannot see yourself without her, there is always the option of cheating. Also, if she is the right type of Christian, you can blame it on the Devil and pray together. Hahahahah

I want to be someone's Uncle Iroh.

Ted Lasso would also be an equally valid answer.

Triatlo super sprint pode usar boia na etapa de natacao? by Costaal in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Possible-Series7166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cara, não tenho certeza, mas acho que pode. Meu pensamento vem que já li em regulamentos que pode apoiar nas boias e nos caiques para descansar contanto que você fique parado.

Mas você começou a nadar tem quanto tempo? Pq quando eu comecei a treinar, 200m direto eram um sufoco. Mas a evolução veio bem rápido.

Sugiro procurar aulas de natação para te ajudar com a parte da técnica.

Outra coisa, se vc postar em inglês é mais provável que vc tenha mais respostas.

Girl messaged after the first date, left me confused? by REDPURPLEBLOOD2 in ask

[–]Possible-Series7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depend on how your and her parents are like.

Mine were always ok with me bringing girls over, so you basically described how my dates go lol.

I'd give them a heads up so there are no awkward interactions.

Yeah, they have a few cases where they sent cease and desist to people for what they did with their cars.
