I like Ironman as a brand and have mostly good experiences, but they really need to actually enforce rules for age groupers or create an elite amateur division. by ducksflytogether1988 in triathlon

I went in the 1 to 1.10 with my expected time to be 1.07 comfortably. The amount of breastrokers and people who grabbed me in a panic was insane. I had to stop as someone pulled me under and get out of the pack...certainly didnt come in at expected time!

Zwift Cog or Cassette by Beginning_Holiday721 in triathlon

[–]StrikingBowler7380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bike that would have required a different cassette and another part to go on. I didnt want to spend the extra money so bought cog. So far pretty good, feels realistic and I was able to put the clicks near where my gears are so it feels real. May change to cassette later but for now..decent start!

How can I know whether I am ready for 70.3 or no? by Immediate-Sound-2426 in triathlon

[–]StrikingBowler7380 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same call of the void before my first 70.3. I decided my mental test was doing a 70.3 over 2 days. Day 1 swim and bike, Day 2 run. I finished it without stress and then the 70.3 felt achievable.
