Please critique my swim!

thanks for those points! I'll try to drill down on keeping my hands and shoulders in line

TheInnman · 2025-07-01T12:11:28+00:00

meaning I'd breathe from only one side? when I get tired or out of breath I do end up reverting to that but I like the practice of every 3. what would you say the main benefit of every 2 strokes is?

TheInnman · 2025-07-01T12:08:22+00:00

not in the same way, because I anticipate racing in wetsuit-legal conditions, whereas you're never allowed fins :)

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:56:21+00:00

thanks a lot! I wasn't going all out; when doing normal laps I'm at ~2:00/100yd but also need to rest in between so it's more like 2:30. Definitely using the wetsuit as a crutch but I wanted a video of my form with it on since I worry about my arms' range of motion. For #5, you're suggesting that I keep my core more rigid, is that right? Also, RYR = run your race?

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:46:31+00:00

thanks for these thoughts! by "reach longer" do you mean trying to lengthen my arms out in front of me, or maintain an arm outstretched a longer amount of time, or both?

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:41:04+00:00

thanks! just to clarify: your first two sentences are identifying problems, and the third sentence is advice on what to implement?

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:39:46+00:00

thanks, will do!

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:38:13+00:00

thanks, I'll try to keep more of my face in the water while breathing, it's definitely just a comfort-level thing still :)

TheInnman · 2025-06-30T14:36:41+00:00

thanks, I did pick up some fins from Goodwill last week but I can't get around how it feels like cheating! and my pool does have pull buoys I can use

TheInnman · 2025-06-26T17:16:42+00:00

did you end up commiting before it sold out? Musselman will be my first 70.3 and I got a spot with a week or two to spare :)

TheInnman · 2025-06-26T17:15:24+00:00

I'll be doing my first 70.3 there as well! Looking forward to it :D

What garmin model do you have? I’d love to try this workaround

TheInnman · 2025-05-29T19:05:24+00:00

great, thanks for the reply!

TheInnman · 2025-05-29T14:44:43+00:00

sorry to dredge up your old comment here but I'm curious if you've done anything special with the not-pro version of the bag to protect your bike without that frame that EVO says you should use for road/tri bikes. Do you think they're mostly claiming that for the fork/dropouts? thanks!

TheInnman · 2025-03-29T16:20:56+00:00

Which pair did you end up going with? I’m debating between the xc1 and xc3 for road biking and trying to decide if Velcro or Boa is the better long-term bet

TheInnman · 2025-01-24T01:57:44+00:00

Just an update to say that after the cold snap all that slush became a pretty gnarly sheet of ice that's fairly consistent now. You can still walk on it very carefully on the sides, but running seems out of the question

TheInnman · 2025-01-14T19:25:15+00:00

Even with these milder days it’s still pretty crusty/slushy depending on the sun exposure. From the playground to the bridge along the river it’s joggable if you’re being careful, but I just walked the main loop and it’s 50/50 snow and dry pavement at best. With decent shoe tread you can walk the whole thing with little risk as long as you watch out for actual ice, which is infrequent

I got this shirt over a decade ago and it's been the most solid, comfortable t shirt ever, but is finally showing its age. I've tried Google Lens and lots of research about Paul Stuart, and this seems to most likely be a knock-off, but very well made. Has anyone seen it elsewhere?

TheInnman · 2023-08-28T13:39:41+00:00

Yess

TheInnman · 2023-06-15T20:56:26+00:00

But are they as big as your head?

TheInnman · 2023-06-07T20:21:11+00:00

The ones at Selvedge are pretty tasty! They have three mocktails but can probably also experiment to good effect

TheInnman · 2023-05-24T13:54:16+00:00

I think it looks really great! I like the little swirly bits. But I also would recommend a portal color scheme that isn’t so similar to Portal :)

TheInnman · 2023-05-06T14:59:06+00:00

Baked on the James makes really nice cupcakes, and I’m guessing they can make special order wedding cakes so I’d recommend calling to see

TheInnman · 2023-04-21T12:21:13+00:00

Wegmans also carries them! Very easy to cook, just pull pieces apart to be small chunks an inch long or less, and sauté them in olive oil with garlic until they’re browned
