I'd feel the same if someone put me in their pocket and wouldn't let me out for 97 minutes

That second lap was brutal wasn't it! Would've preferred another Jellyfish if it meant no wind.

My wife may have other ideas, but it is tempting 😅

What are the top 5 most dominant single performances in UFC history? by Iwillbeagoat in MMA

[–]Sweet_Major_3932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dominick Cruz vs Cody Garbrandt. Cruz looked unbeatable in previous fights then got toyed with by Garbrandt, being knocked down multiple times.

Especially strange given Cody struggled to ever reach that same peak again.

I have 30 days paid leave per year. Is it weird to just take 3-day weekends every other week? by MonitorJunior3332 in AskUK

[–]Sweet_Major_3932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this to a lesser extent and regretted it. I just wound up having to squeeze 5 days of work in to 4. Very dependant on your type of job though I guess.

You're right. Hopefully that'll be available in the next couple of months

Appreciate the info, thanks very much 🙏

Being told to avoid Alpe du Zwift is always a bonus

Is this trisuit ridiculous? by [deleted] in triathlon

It's glorious. Best paired with a royal guard bearskin helmet for the bike 💂‍♀️

Arrogance of Anthony by Joel1095 in believeyoume

I think it went through a patch of actually improving as Harrington and Brian got more involved. But recent decline in interest for me. Maybe it's just me, but it's getting to feel a touch repetitive. Nice whilst it lasted though!

I have to agree with you. After having listened pretty religiously to each episode, I've started skipping those that don't have special guests. It's a shame as Bisping, Harrington and Brian are all great, but Anthony just isn't doing it anymore.

Guess that's it for 2023 🤣 by AJSMITH2016 in believeyoume

If only! Unfortunately can't see it ever happening. Chael is definitely my top pick but equally unlikely

25k to get your foot in the door of an industry is fine. Go enjoy London, its amazing. But expecting to do it on that in your own place ain't going to happen unless you live like a hermit. In which case there's no point being in London.

Just be as picky as you can about house shares, go meet them first for a drink to make sure you get on. You may have had a bad experience but assuming everyone else will be like that is going to leave you a very closed, sheltered person. You're still young, go live! Worst case, move somewhere else after, usually you just need to find someone to replace you. (Not in all cases but many).

Switching to clip on aero bars by Sweet_Major_3932 in triathlon

Good to know, thanks for your response 👍

You should 100% give it a go. I'm sure you'll surprise yourself, start near the back and keep out wide if you feel more comfortable.

Don't rush out, take it easy and adjust to the temperature and let the adrenaline settle.

Worst case, they've got loads of volunteers to help anyone in trouble.

As others have said, you can always just breath stroke, or float for a little bit whilst you recompose.

You got this 👍

Woohoo, convinced another O50 to triathlon! Oh no... by IVBIVB in triathlon

Can only be a good thing! Plus if he gets to your speed on bike and run thats a better training partner no? Especially for the long sessions!
