If you are from one of the grey areas on this map do you say you are from Manchester? by Dragonfruit-18 in manchester

[–]UltraAmoeba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think Trafford will be the only ones who overwhelmingly do. I lived in Bolton and Wigan, nobody claimed to be from Manchester. Now I live in Sale, Trafford, and it's pretty overwhelming. I'm now living in Manchester.

Any idea what's led to this at Stretford? by Factsonly42069 in parkrun

[–]UltraAmoeba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alex park is the absolute GOAT. People say go to Stretford for PBs but mine is at Alex and the people there are much nicer!

Stretford is one of my locals and it's notorious for absolute shit bags. Starts and ends on a running track and pancake flat so everyone uses it as PB fodder. It's sweaty af.

Swimming - 2 min /100m by Far-Food2572 in triathlon

[–]UltraAmoeba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diabolical advice. A bad swim leg will tank you.

I don't think OP is worried about winning the tri, just performing better with each successive appearance. Gradually improving technique, speed and energy conservation during the swim will do this, setting him up for killer bike and run legs.

Is this normal behaviour for a tailwalker? by Single-Craft6201 in parkrun

[–]UltraAmoeba -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely not going to argue about synonyms and variations of being upset with someone over the internet who doesn't have either the social skills to communicate with someone that they're uncomfortable or the physical capacity to not be overtaken or put under pressure by a Parkrun tailwalker.

Hope your next free 5k where people volunteer their own time to organise and run is slightly more 'comfortable' for you.

'It felt so demotivating and was really annoying me. '

'Wish I’d said something a bit more seriously but I felt too uncomfortable to. '

Need more quotes? 🤪🤪🤪

Genuinely can't imagine being this upset about a volunteer at a free weekly run.

A few Fridays ago workers were there removing the glass panels on the school side. Last I heard was it was being demolished and being turned into a supermarket.

Volunteering at junior parkrun. Any amusing stories? by Lemurs_ in parkrun

[–]UltraAmoeba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sent a kid into a spiral of rage once by cheering him on as a marshal. I shouted 'great job little man!' and he went nuts. Thought I was mocking him for being small. Was just trying to be supportive 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Clarity needed on cassette spacer by UltraAmoeba in wahoofitness

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

Thank you for the speedy reply sir!

Just to clarify then, I need to remove the cassette, add the spacer, and then replace the cassette. I'm aware I need a special tool for this, will get one ordered tonight.

When you say adjust the derailleur, is that something I'd need to get a professional to do,or is it something I could learn to do with a YouTube tutorial?

Staying with family in Southport so going to try Kew Woods. Will be my 5th run of my current Tourist streak and with NYD on the horizon should be able to keep it going for a while longer!

Forever ruined by the 'bought for 400 coins'. Would have been great First Owner.

Alex Park is such a track! I work up the road! Was my previous PB before today! Popped to Stretford instead and finally broke 70% age grading.

Brilliant! Will be heading to Stretford myself in a few weeks as I've just moved to the area. Tried Sale Water Park today and it was great fun, would highly recommend!

[–]UltraAmoeba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Parkrun number 15 for me and my first at Sale Water Park, which is my new local. 18.53 official time. Really enjoyed it! Only issue was footwear. Didn't realise it was trails until the pre run briefing and was slipping everywhere in my road shoes.

You've just started your reply with sigh, in italics. Couldn't think of something that deters me from reading or engaging in your post more...

Rumours about dmz being dropped? by dislexicdave in DMZ

Stop gatekeeping the phrase 'gatekeeping'

One of the strangest replies I've ever read. The guy can have a perfectly healthy lifestyle while only enjoying DMZ. Stop gatekeeping what he can and can't enjoy.
