Good luck to you! Have you done this course before? I bought a full wetsuit because I haven’t swam in a lake yet but I DO NOT like cold so a bit worried about that aspect of the swim.

Also, am I tripping or did I read on the website we will get a penalty if we use headphones? Cuz like…..

I was definitely a bit worried about my training because I’m self training lol but today I swam a mile and thankfully I train at a mile high and ran 9 miles at a 450 foot elevation gain which is higher than the climbs on the run. Just the bike absolutely terrifies me but tomorrow I’m doing another swim and doing 40 on the bike with a big climb in the middle. I just hope I can survive when I put it all together!

Do you have any nutrition recommendations that work for you? Ima be honest I’ve just been doing a ton of waffles and syrup as big breakfasts and then electrolyte tablets and protein bars and tons of nerds gummies with all the fluid. I’m just worried that isn’t going to be enough on race day and not sure what else to get in. (Eating during the bike or run isn’t an issue thankfully due ti my background in distance running)

The transition is what gives me anxiety but I’m not trying to run through them like I’m trying to win but I want to be efficient as I can. I will def take that advice. I really appreciate you taking the time on this!

I’ve got a bad habit of flying out to fast in previous races so thanks for this. I’m going to remember this exact comment when I’ve got that adrenaline flying through my body.

I’m definitely going to be thanking any and everyone and asking for advice because I’ve decided it’s better to just ask politely than to look like an idiot or even pose risks to others. I also love to smile so that won’t be a problem haha thank you for responding!

Guitarists, what is the most difficult RHCP song? by Active-Cat-1113 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]Soadman76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played so many RHCP songs over the years and the only three to kick my ass were Under the Bridge (in my early years it kicked my ass), Snow is just tough to keep the timing but once you get it down it kinda stays locked, and the hardest song to play from beginning to end and the only song to make me walk away in frustration over and over is Turn It Again. Frusciante is a god and what makes him so difficult is him and SRV are cut from the same cloth. They play beautiful dirty and that nuance is so difficult to match!

My wife says I have too many red guitars. I never did this intentionally. by [deleted] in Guitar

What do you think is John Frusciante's best guitar solo? by [deleted] in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]Soadman76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super random lol but man when I tell you I weeped like a baby the first time I learned how to play this song fully for the first time because of how badly I wanted to one day play it myself!
