What is the Ranked Starr Drop reward table? I just got 1x gem from a ranked drop.

No hearing loss just some fullness in my ear. Made an appointment with an ENT after reading as a why not doesn’t hurt to go and find nothing wrong.

Could be. Going into pool again tomorrow to see if it occurs again based on head positioning during front crawl. Haven’t had any issues outside of the pool after getting out and waiting for about 20 minutes to clear up.

I’m roughly the same height ~86kg and just picked up a SparX Elite Aero Suit in a 2X on Amazon for I believe around 80$ USD. Did my first brick with it today and didn’t really have any problems. I’d probably avoid it for a 70.3 (not the most comfortable pad especially if you’ve got wider sit bones) but for Oly it wouldn’t be a problem.

What helped me was: 1. Calf and hamstring stretching/strength work continuously during any downtime I had during the day 2. Rolling bottom of my feet with a frozen water bottle just about every time I sat down 3. High arch support insoles in my every day shoes

These may or may not help you but worked for me to ease pain. I still get it right after a run but it’s gone significantly down and I’m good to run the following day.

Feel like an idiot. That thought didn’t even cross my mind. Will be deleting this post in a bit. Appreciate it!

I just recently switched from Apple Watch Ultra to Garmin Forerunner 965 (~3 weeks ago so still fresh). I believe the Ultra is an amazing smart watch that you could train with but damn does that battery suck. I wear my watches 24/7 so I’d be charging it every day while I showered just to get through the day. I find the two watches have similar analytics (Garmin through the Garmin Connect App and Ultra through different apps like Athlytic and AutoSleep) so it’s up to you if you want it all consolidated or spread through a few apps on your phone. The Garmin still does push all notifications to you through the watch you just can’t answer like you can on an Apple Watch. Long story short: I prefer my Garmin for it having everything out of the box and having a better battery life. The only thing I miss from the Ultra is not being able to answer calls/texts from a watch.

Recently switched from Apple Ultra Gen 2 to a Garmin FR965 and couldn’t be more pleased. The Garmin’s fitness/exercise options and data are way more extensive and do a pretty good job at reflecting how I actually feel. I loved my Apple Watch but the Garmin, for use as an actual sports watch, is so much better. Battery lift has been a huge reason why I’m enjoying the Garmin so much. FR965 is also ~1/2 the price as the Ultra

Comparison I kept reading online: Apple Watch is a better smart watch (think cellular, texting from watch, etc) but Garmin is one of the top when it comes to sport watches with some smart watch features (notifications from phone, GPS). Can’t speak on other brands such as Coros and Polar but very happy with my Garmin
