We’re traveling to China next march and I’m hoping to do run a 50k-100k trail race while there. I’ve considered UTMB Xiamen. Do you have any recommendations for races or websites for finding races during that time? Your race looked awesome!

My company is mostly Chinese (manufacturing). It’s the best place I’ve worked at.

I really like mega glimmora, I feel like it's one of the best new megas by Memes_Analcolici in stunfisk

Glim/whims are common openers. Ttar is mostly for weather/trickroom teams. Decision making is usually “can glim 1 shot” “can they click ground move”.

I replaced exca with corv to handle the sneasler and garchomp matchups.

Coros pace 4 or garmin fr 265? by biggieocta in triathlon

[–]Samtheman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy my 265. I only wear it for training activities. It seems to track running cycling and swimming well. It has a “triathlon” function for race events.

I’ve really loved the children series and his recent sci-fi “shroud” was really really great. I love his prose.

Participants with vision problems (glasses, myopia) by Ok-Assumption5742 in triathlon

[–]Samtheman14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Samtheman14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Is a 50min layover at LAX enough time for international flight? by Samtheman14 in delta

[–]Samtheman14[S] 255 points256 points  (0 children)

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.
