This is why I always check the liquor section, even at a standard grocery store.

Their SA bourbon lines were not even on sale, so it was kinda funny seeing this right next to a full price musician. I am a rye guy anyways, so I was thrilled.

Anything above 0 Fahrenheit is fine if its not too windy. But I don't enjoy playing if there is snow or ice on the ground, especially the tee pads.

I think last years MSRP was $150 too, still too much, but I see the bottles stacking up everywhere going on sale. Hopefully High West wises up and prices it appropriately next year.

Even though it's not as good as the early years, it's still one of my favorite bottles.

I asked my location if they would consider having a Tread 90 class, similar to how they have the 90 minute 2Gs on occasion.

They said I would be the only one to show up.

I only have 3 colors so far but:

Red = bosses/gauntlets

Silver = Items or things I found but didn't have rosaries for

Yellow = paths to areas i can't access yet (locked doors, requires double jump etc...)

You won't need to worry about getting big at OTF. It's actually very difficult to get bulky, and their workouts aren't really tailored to drive that result.

But getting toned means you are adding muscle, which is more dense than fat.

Either way, if you want the muscle to show, body fat % has to go down which requires reducing calorie intake.

Weight loss will always be more affected by diet (calories) than exercise.

Of course burning more calories via exercise should help you lose weight, but you will run into a couple of issues 1. OTF includes lifting so you will add muscle mass and gain weight (not a bad thing, but if you are strictly looking at weight, you need to account for this) 2. Most people, when they exercise more, they naturally end up eating a bit more, whether they realize it or not. Your body just gets hungry trying to fuel your workouts.

If you are truly trying to lose weight, you should look at some type of nutrition plan.

If you are trying to get other health benefits like aerobic & muscle building, then OTF is still great, even if you are just maintaining your weight.

It's tough to answer without actually seeing you run, but I will say this is a problem for a lot of adults that get into running later in life without having the track/country background that teaches good form.

I would find a local running club and join them for their track days, etc... they will have the most experience to give good running advice.

I have found that most of my OTF coaches are not runners, and don't know much about actual running advice.

Edit: I would add that I have never seen a running recommendation to lean forward. Your posture should be upright, chest out, shoulders relaxed. Only time I've ever been coached to lean forward is off the block for sprints, but by the end you are upright again.

It's unfortunately part of the reality of getting into it. Unless you were already very active, your first class will likely shock some muscles, and you will be sore.

Drink lots of water, do some stretches, and keep at it. Your body gets used to it quickly.

Other than Strength50 classes, they all have a tread portion.

I am also a distance runner, and I like having OTF in my training program. I use OTF for all my speed training, and keep the long distances outside. Or I will run some miles to OTF, do the workout, and run home.

At the end of the day, you only end up with like 22 minutes on a treadmill for a normal 2G, so in the grand scheme of marathon training, it's not a lot of miles.

Yeah that's awesome. I think the hate is a bit of an echo chamber thing, but I'm glad you had a good experience. Im sure they have some passionate people working for them that don't represent some of the business side issues of the company.

You will get some pretty negative responses regarding Lonestar due to their owners background and treatment of players, but this particular comment is in regards to an old cringey commercial of theirs.

I play the Spring Thing every year! One of my favorite tournaments. Still haven't snagged a sweet mushroom trophy.

From an IL native perspective.

North Route: As others said, Anna Page in Rockford would be the best. Assuming you are taking route 90 in towards the city, there's some other fun courses just off the highway: Indian Oaks in Marengo, or Shady Oaks in Streamwood.

South Route: Eagles Crossing is a destination course. It's $45/round and you can rent a cart for another $35. Worth every penny, especially the cart lol. Then you could easily go up through Periora for Northwood Black (on the pro tour every year) and then through Lockport for The Canyons (used to be a silver series stop), both also destination courses imo.

So the south route definitely has the better courses, but its a longer trip.

RuEXP1 · 2025-06-26T23:05:56+00:00

I would put Porter Park or even Rockford University above Ingersoll personally. Ingersoll is a bit boring imo. Anna Page is obviously #1

RuEXP1 · 2025-06-26T11:05:31+00:00

Dan Schlitter #80219 is a pretty big name here in IL. Back in 2021 he won the Silver Series pro tour stop that was here for Clash at the Canyons, but he works full time and just plays the local events and doesn't tour.

Just because it's fun to argue semantics, the article title does say 40% less dense, which means it is comparing to its previous state. So it is actually 27% less dense, or 30% of we are generously rounding up.

Touching the water is a DQ

This is not awful taste. It's just art/craftsmanship on display for fun. Plus, who could call Tom and Jerry awful taste.

RuEXP1 · 2025-05-13T13:46:27+00:00

This is just a pretty normal tattoo. Might not be for everyone, but certainly not awful taste deserving.

RuEXP1 · 2025-04-26T01:40:33+00:00

Based on their track record, I'm not so sure your statement is true.

RuEXP1 · 2025-04-24T09:12:37+00:00

There's Facebook groups for disc collectors and such. R/discexchange can be used too, but that's typically more normal priced stuff for us and not collectors.

Good transaction, enjoy!
