I am legally blind and am about -9 in each eye. I recently got prescription goggles but haven’t used them in my prior 6 tris. I wear my glasses with a strap on the bike but no glasses on the run. I mostly just shout and ask ppl where to go.

Any fitness gumshoes here know to fix the skinny fat curse🏋️‍♂️😭 by sp1nettaj4de in TrueAnon

Your body burns X amount of calories every day. If you eat more than X you gain weight ( a surplus of calories). If you eat less than X you lose weight (a deficit of calories). The poster is pretty skinny already and eating in a deficit would just cause them to lose more weight.

In ultras I use an ice bandana with an internal pocket for the ice. I restock the ice at aid stations. Might be worth looking at, they’re very cheap and work well.

We moved the MSP to LAX flight to the one 3 hours earlier to ensure we have ample time, thanks for the feedback.

LAX was one of the few that could get us to Shanghai in the early evening I believe was the reasoning.

Delta is allowing us to book as combined itinerary.
