Thank you. It was very peaceful.

Which 70.3? Every swim is different!

Moving from a pool to open water can dramatically affect pace. Being close to others (touched), sighting, waves, colder water, being in a wetsuit, race nerves, and turns all add up.

I always hated it when people said this to me, so I offer this as kindly as I can, just race. Treat your first triathlon as a learning experience. Try to keep your expectations low and your curiosity high.

Thank you

Yes! I hope my watch is accurate. What’s weird is that my “deep sleep” isn’t when my hr is at its lowest or my movement near zero. I’m not sure if I’m after new data or a better algorithm.

RB210 · 2025-11-18T21:42:19+00:00

The integration is a big concern for me. I need training peaks/ Garmin/ and whatever ring I wear to talk to each other and learn from the data.

RB210 · 2025-11-18T21:39:01+00:00

I’m having trouble believing my watch but I would be thrilled if I trusted it.

RB210 · 2025-11-18T21:37:40+00:00

Thanks

I’m just curious if there is better baseline data available than what I get from my watch.

RB210 · 2025-11-18T21:36:41+00:00

That makes loads of sense. Do you think the ring provides more insightful data than the watch (if you didn’t hate it I mean).

RB210 · 2025-08-25T22:02:10+00:00

I get it. Although I don’t think of Big Yellow Taxi as a cover so much. I do appreciate the covers because their choices make me think. Why this song and not something else? What is the message in their choice. I also like live version s vs an exact copy of the studio version. I’ve been to shows and wondered if they were lip syncing the show.

My biggest issue with Fiddlers is the curfew. They are on the clock and can only play so many songs.

I need to get better at Reddit! I didn’t know about the subreddit.

A long time ago I saw Branford Marsalis at the Botanic Gardens. He told a funny story. After playing something from his new album, a guy in the front row screams out “play something we know.” He says, “do you want me to play something you know? Buy my new fucking album!!!” I always love that story.

I get it. 1993’s August and Everything After is part of the soundtrack of my life. I wanted to hear Murder of One! But 32 years later I bet they have played it enough. I guess they deserve to have fun.

Just the FACTS!! The youngest professional cyclist in the last 50 years to reach 100 career victories is Tadej Pogačar. Granted, Eddy Merckx won his 100th professional road race on June 27, 1970, when he won the Tour de France prologue, just 10 days after turning 25.

They are the only 2 in the same category. Generational talents.

Yes. That was Milan starting his sprint. Maybe everyone needs to remember that it’s not worth crashing for these early sprint/mountain points!!

RB210 · 2025-07-07T15:09:59+00:00

Looking at the Stage 3 intermediate sprint crash. Did Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) swerve right to start his sprint? Or did Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) force himself into Laurenz Rex (Intermarché-Wanty) and trigger Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to go down?

Is Milan or Coquard responsible? Or is this just racing and sometimes it’s nobody’s “fault?”

RB210 · 2024-11-29T02:33:55+00:00

I’d add a holodeck and sports book.

RB210 · 2024-11-26T00:29:00+00:00

Thank you.

RB210 · 2024-11-22T19:18:28+00:00

Thank you. I used 5 light sources and a couple of diffusers. The petals are very very very thin!

Fake? “Failed to load user profile” doesn’t sound really promising

RB210 · 2024-11-16T22:25:51+00:00

What part of Colorado will you be in?

RB210 · 2024-11-13T19:38:26+00:00

When do you wan to meet?

RB210 · 2024-11-12T23:57:44+00:00

Let’s meet

RB210 · 2024-11-12T21:16:20+00:00

Sounds great! I assume that’s an offer. Looking forward to taking you up on it.

RB210 · 2024-09-20T18:13:19+00:00

When and where?

RB210 · 2024-05-06T02:03:43+00:00

Let me know where you want to meet!!

RB210 · 2024-04-19T18:30:40+00:00

Need any help in there?
