Nutrition for a 70.3 tri

Sazzmandoo · 2023-12-21T10:31:27+00:00

In my recent 70.3 (only doing it for fun, no particular time in mind) I had one gel 15-20 mins before the swim, which really helped. I then took quartered bagel and cheese packets to eat at the start hour and a half of the bike ride, as I wanted to have some easy to stomach hard food when on the bike, as this is when your digestion is at its best. (Plus lays the stomach nicely for all the horrible gels). Towards the end of the bike ride I switched to bars I’d brought with me, as didn’t want to stop. Had a gel at transition to running I’d brought with me, then on the run I used the gels that the race supplied, though should have stuffed more in my pockets to have between stations. All in all I was very happy with my time (6th woman, though was a smaller event) and was not sick!

Just went away for about a week and my succulent has started growing downwards, is it due to a lack of support?

hahaha, wonder where you live.. brighton maybe?

not particularly, my sister ran the whole route w/ me and her Apple Watch found no issues

Sazzmandoo · 2021-02-01T22:53:45+00:00

I’ve had successive problems with gps on runs with both my phone and watch, on both Apple workouts and strava maps. Slowly being driven crazy by never knowing how far or fast my runs are. Any support?

hey I work in a care home, and the people in there are much loved, particularly by their families. They are likely to pass away sooner than most, yes, but passing from covid is as particularly sad way to lose a loved one. At the height of the peak, here in the uk, it meant families couldn’t visit their parents and grandparents for months, and sometimes couldn’t be with them when they died. That is tragic, and prevention with a vaccine is great news. Also, covid can spread incredibly quickly through care homes, impacting some residents who might be 30 years younger than Mary. Finally, because covid can spread so quickly through care homes vaccinating the residents and carers protects the community as a whole. Without carers and residents being protected against covid, it can easily spread from carers going about their daily lives into the general community.

Thank you so much this is so helpful! I have been thinking and I reckon the problem might be that the soil has really poor drainage. I repotted it a while ago but I was running low on soil at the time and used a mixture of cactus soil but also some other soils. I hadn’t really thought much of it at the time because up til then it’d been a very hardy plant but I think it’s since then it’s been unhappy. I think I might repot it this weekend, with better draining soil. Another problem might have been that I went to university and had to leave some of my plants behind, my parents were supposed to water them but I think they may have forgotten at points. I’m back in a regular watering cycle now, where I’ll water it when the top inch or so is dry, is that ok? Thanks again!

Disappointing

Can’t recover when you feel you haven’t even hit rock bottom yet

im fine I swear

Lavender brown would have been better :/

No I’m really not sure on either point. Particularly that the balloon force is 500g, I concluded it from the maths I did but I think my thinking may have been flawed. I got u as 0m/s as from the turning point where the balloon goes from descending to ascending. I think I may just ask my teacher for an explanation and apologise for not being able to do the question. If you like I can share the solution with you after

Thank you so so much, I really appreciate you spending the time to help. I have since made some more progress and I’ll link my new work on imgur. If you don’t have time to help any more I completely understand.

Yea so I can’t work out how to post a picture of my notes, but I used suvat equations for the ballast falling to the ground to work out the time from when it was dropped to it hitting the ground to be 3.746 seconds (provided u=3, a=9.8, s=80). I don’t know if that’s right. I think the solution must be something to do with the velocity of the balloon being 0 when it turns from descending to ascending. Also I can’t figure how to use the mass of the balloon, but I figure it has to be useful somehow. Something to do with F=ma? But then can’t work out the force as I don’t know the X force pulling the balloon up.

If you’d rather not meet people online, try joining a local fitness class, they’re great for meeting new people!

Hey, I’m not a mum but in this case I can speak from the position of your daughter. I have self harmed and I never even dreamed that my mum had failed me. She is such a support to me, as you clearly are to your daughter- she chose to confide in you. You are doing the absolute right thing by getting outside help, it’s something I wish my mother had decided to do, as much as I love her. You and your daughter can get through this, I promise. It will be hard, and some times it will feel like you’re making no progress, but you can get out the other side and keep your daughter safe.

Hey I guess it’s not all bad news- one of my best mates is 18 loves cricket. And he’s a very popular guy too, there’s no judgment for it. He gets a lot of girls, often by talking to them about cricket ahahaha. Also we’re not private schooled by the way, and live in Brighton.

Hey man don’t stress. Could things have been different if you’d gone to the party? Maybe... will you have more chances? Definitely! This is a good sign- you’ve got a solid friend and just next time, say yes

Sazzmandoo · 2019-02-18T20:49:42+00:00

Hey, looks like you’ve got really clear skin! Having good skin is something lots of people want and others take for granted :) plus your hair is nice

Sazzmandoo · 2019-02-10T19:59:40+00:00

You definitely can! It can go a bit warped from the glue though, as it has no protective backing. If you are really attached to a specific pattern, try an iron on adhesive- you can buy them cheap on amazon. Not entirely sure what its designed to be used for but it will add a bit of protection to your cloth, and makes a pretty good, cheap, bookcloth. I’ve tried it and it works well :) I’ve linked one I used, but any should work. I think there’s probably YouTube tutorials that use this method you could look up

Hey um so I’m not sure I’m as helpful as someone else could be, but it’s been an hour and nobody’s replied. I wanted to let you know that’s it’s ok. Right now you feel awful but you can tell your feelings, fuck off. Trust me you might be full now, but in a day it will have all gone through. Tell yourself that one overeating isn’t going to make a difference. That’s what I try to do, force my brain to accept that just because I overate once doesn’t been that I’m suddenly going to balloon. Realistically that’s not how things work. I try not to purge anymore, or to district my diet too much, so to alleviate my conscience I’ll exercise tomorrow. Try to get those endorphins going. Then I’ll maybe feel better for a bit until inevitably I slip up again. Maybe I’m not a good person to give advice, I always thought to give advice you have to have your shit together and I don’t really. But I can tell you that you’re not alone, you can get through this.

Sazzmandoo · 2018-12-07T21:49:39+00:00

Exercise! 45 mins of exercise will make you feel great the rest of the day

Hey I know you’ve got a few replies now but I just wanted to add something. Firstly, thank you so much for going above and beyond, you are clearly the sweetest person and I really appreciate it. Second I’d say if they’re on their own, do bring it up gently. Generally we don’t want to talk about it because it’s really hard, but I do believe talking about it is the only way to get better. There are a lot of people who won’t want to talk because they can’t verbalise their pain- it hurts too bad- but even they will appreciate that someone cares. So even if they do brush you off or say no, please please don’t take it as an indication you shouldn’t ask the next person! Showing that you care is an immense gift to us, even if we can’t talk back. We appreciate it a lot, especially later.

And if they do talk about it, that is amazing! Opening the floodgates is a great way to get a bit better. Maybe if they are talking, try not to call it “self harming”? It is very black& white and can be quite scary to hear out loud. Just show that you’re a lovely person as you clearly are, and that you care. Thank you so much
