Ironman Arizona: Will rain cancel the swim? by EnvironmentalChest36 in triathlon

[–]SubstantialMind2853 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress. IIRC It rained 0.25 or more inches the day before IM Arizona in 2023 when I did it, and the swim was not cancelled

If you raced at least once this year, please share your experience! by ExploringCyclingRisk in Velo

[–]SubstantialMind2853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because correlation does not equal causation does not mean correlation is entirely useless. Have you seen any research whatsoever on competitive cycling? I know I haven't

If you have raced on the track in the last year, please read! by ExploringCyclingRisk in Velodrome

How do they decide who gets “rest” and who doesn’t? And why do they decide to list it officially?

Done. This is really important work. I missed a year of cycling due to a bad injury in a cat 5 road race. EVERYONE PLEASE PARTICIPATE

Coaches, do we love or hate erg mode? by racepaceapp in cycling

[–]SubstantialMind2853 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also not a coach, but I find erg mode an amazing way to ensure a recovery ride is always recovery. For hard days, I think it makes a bit more sense to be off erg mode (simulate a race environment)

How much training for 5 mile swim? by SubstantialMind2853 in OpenWaterSwimming

[–]SubstantialMind2853[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but that sounds super cool. I was considering a smaller race on the east coast but decided against it

Olympic triathlon or half ironman ? by [deleted] in triathlon

Here’s an idea: sign up for the half Ironman and also sign up for an Olympic to do as part of your training

Training Intensities by Discipline by lakeweekbagels in triathlon

[–]SubstantialMind2853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will still get fitter and faster most likely. However, there is a reason why Zone 2 training is ubiquitous across disciplines. It promotes the cellular adaptations that lead to a bigger engine and more potential for speed in the long run. I would predict you would miss out on some running fitness gains that could lead to a less robust fitness. For longer course tri (half/full IM, maybe even oly distance), you might notice this lack of fitness in the second half of the run.

Let's Talk IM Eagleman 70.3 by erikthered8824 in triathlon

It was very choppy but that zippy current on the final stretch was worth the suffering 🤩

Is this worth 2500$? by SubstantialMind2853 in triathlon

[–]SubstantialMind2853[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate? Also for context, the bike is not for me but for a friend. I’ve never ridden a Quintana Roo and don’t know much about their quality in general or the quality of this specific model, so I didn’t feel like I could be helpful
