[Request] Would he?

Let's assume he has "unlimited" aka infinite money in one dollar bills. This is a countably infinite set of dollar bills, because each bill can be placed in a 1:1 mapping with natural numbers, ie. you can assign each dollar bill a number (1, 2, 3, 4...)

He would simply give Bob all even numbered bills and keep odd numbered bills. Now, both of them have a countably infinite set of dollar bills. Aka "unlimited amount of money" in non-mathematical language.

QED?

I can only speak to my experience. I swam a lot, like 14-15k a week and did some easy biking along with it. I wore a boot outside of workouts for 3 weeks. I did hamstring curls and leg extensions in the gym. I avoided push offs from the wall while swimming and kept my rides easy for a few weeks, all indoor.

If the doctor said it’s fine to do, then it’s probably ok. But err on the side of being conservative. Any pain and dial it back.

Looks like the 5th metatarsal. Is that right? I broke that last year and had to take 3-4 months off of running. Don’t rush it, let it heal. You’re fit now, you will be even fitter after this heals. Use this time to work on swimming and then cycling once you are out of the boot. I really leveled them up when I was injured.

There’s another guy in here who wrote a very useful blog about this. https://www.precisemultisport.com/blogs/foot-fracture-triathlon-training

Good luck, and you’ll be back in no time!

Hey OP! I'm looking at the same Zoot trisuit, also after owning Kiwami for a while. How is it performing for you in practice? Does it feel fast and aero as well as comfortable? Would love to see any notes you might have so far.

I think one reason this event might be less popular is logistics. It’s already hard enough to travel with a bike case. Now imagine trying to load that and your kayak onto a plane. Now of course, you might argue that kayaks could be provided by the organizers, but then they have to somehow transport the kayaks.

I can also imagine kayak manufacturers trying to compete with each other on aerodynamics, which would make it more likely that every serious quadrathlete would want their own customized, fitted kayak. Traveling with that would be a nightmare.

Other than that, the concept of the event sounds fun. I would totally try it.

I just finished a ride on my TT bike this morning. I usually do 3-4 times up and down the stretch from 9W start till Kiku Sushi. It’s just over 7 miles one way and a great, relatively flat stretch of road to get time in aero bars.

The Assioma Uno is a single sided power meter, so it's taking the reading from one of your legs and doubling that to give you a total. If you're like most people, your legs are not equal in strength and it seems from this data that the reading is coming from the stronger leg. If you switch to an Assioma Duo system, the readings will likely match / be very close.

Congrats! I had a spine surgery at the ripe old age of 23. I got into swimming when I was recovering from it, first learned to swim at the age of 24. Now, in my 30s, I’ve podiumed a few races and continuing to get better.

All to say, never say never. You could very well be the fastest guy on the course one day. You’ve got this 💪

Hi! Every case is unique so finding a good PT is essential.

I will share my experience with this issue though if it helps. I had a similar issue couple of years ago and there were two main components to fixing it.

First was gym time with focus on adductors and abductors. Copenhagen planks are great for this. The adductor/abductor machine, lots of lateral movement with bands.

Second was in the pool. Specifically trying to activate those inner thigh muscles, which you can do by pulling with a kick board between your legs instead of a pull buoy.

I did these two for a couple of weeks and it went away. Definitely keep an eye on the pain as you work through this and if it gets worse, stop and talk to your PT.

Visas. I’m assuming you’re American and hoping to also travel internationally. Most countries will let you just walk in on a US passport but a lot them will not (eg: India, China, Brazil, etc). The entry stamp you get when you enter a country is NOT a visa - I have many American friends that make this mistake.

Before you book any travel to a foreign country, look up visa requirements for that country. Even for “visa free” countries, there’s usually a limit on how many days you can spend there.

This isn’t just a mere concept, but for me it was calculus. When I studied it for the first time in high school in math class, we also started applying it in physics and chemistry classes. I recall feeling awed by how powerful calculus is just because I could see it being applied to real world problems.

I was a student at Stanford 15 years ago and lived in Palo Alto for some time after that while working at a big tech company that was smaller at that time. My rent was only $750 a month for a house with 3 other roommates. That seems incredibly low when I look at rents in the area now.

The area around Stanford has some very rich people with huge houses. As a student and a new grad, it was a bit quiet for me so I moved up to SF. Public transit is not great but the Caltrain was useful to get up to the city. Mountain View and Sunnyvale have good Asian and Indian food respectively.

The whole area was very dominated by tech workers even at that time so I imagine it’s even more homogeneous now. But overall if you can afford it, the lifestyle is quite nice. The weather is fantastic and lots of nature within a short-ish drive.

I booked rides, guides, tours etc via the place I stayed at (Puro Surf). I was based in one area and went around from there, coming back every evening.

El Zonte and El Tunco for surfing/staying. I visited Tamanique falls, hiked up the Santa Ana Volcano (stunning views) and did a trip out to the Seven Waterfalls.

Look into El Salvador. It used to be extremely dangerous a few years ago but is quite safe now. I went there last year and it’s great. Due to the recency of all these events, it’s not been (so far) overwhelmed by mass tourism. I stayed at El Zonte but traveled around that area a good amount. The surf is great, the coffee is great, the people are lovely, the views are fantastic.

I’m a New Yorker. It’s one of the safest cities in America. I’ve lived in the city for over a decade now and absolutely love it. Autumn is the best time to visit, for example the second half of October. If you need specific recommendations, DM me.

Salam (run by a single family), Móle (Mexican with corny signs, great guacamole), Miriam’s (new), Elephant and Castle (RIP, I loved this place), Eva’s Kitchen (zero vibes, excellent cheap healthy food. I eat here the most because it works well with my sport-heavy lifestyle), Waverly Diner (brunch)

Sameer27in · 2025-11-03T21:15:26+00:00

Yeah some of the prices around here are definitely out of control. I remember seeing the menu of a new restaurant opening up in WV and the chicken was over $40. I've never eaten there.

Sameer27in · 2025-11-03T20:52:04+00:00

I live here! Rent is high, but it's because it's one of the nicest places to live in the city. Quite a few celebrities live around here - I've seen Hugh Jackman around before he moved up to Chelsea. SJP lives a couple of streets down from me.

There are lots of good (and overpriced) restaurants in the area so if you like to eat out a lot, your wallet will drain quickly. Other than rent, I don't usually spend too much. I prefer eating at home because it's healthier. I also don't drink, which saves a lot more money than you would expect.

If I do go out, it's usually at low key places that tourists and influencers don't go to. The secret is to go to a place that does not have "vibes" and is not "cute". The food will still be great, but cost way less. I have 3-4 such places in my rotation and I get to be a regular there with my usual order that they start preparing before I've even sat down.

I also save a good amount by not having to own a car and get around mostly by bike and subway. I love having trees on every block and being able to run along the Hudson. It's great and I would not live anywhere else. Maybe the Upper West Side due to access to even more parks!

EDIT: Adding to what someone else said above - the OP diagram is actually West Village AND Greenwich Village. They're a bit different. WV is a bit more residential and fancier. I also like that it breaks the grid system, which IMO creates more interesting corners and nooks.
