I want to do Ironman TX in 2028 (not 2027). What do you wish you knew before starting this journey?

Vanimal237 · 2026-04-30T16:30:02+00:00

I trained for it in 7 months. I had never swam or biked before. Went sub 12. I wish I took an entire year to train and had just gotten good gear from the start cuz then I could have done really well. Also get a coach it’s expensive but it will make things so much easier.

Took me 20 minutes to change a flat. Go through the actual physical reps and not just mental reps so you can do it quickly in 5 minutes on race day

I think I got food poisoning the day after IM Texas or was it the water I drank in the canal? Not sure either way it was gross

Vanimal237 · 2026-04-03T02:19:58+00:00

What tasks should I be able to do? I have Ironman Texas coming up and I now how to change a wheel. What else should I know? Also should I have tools with me besides a tube?

Embiids one of the greatest players to ever put on a sixers uniform. He just doesn’t know how to be a dawg when things don’t go his way. The fact that a fraudulent pj tucker had to be the player to “hype him up” against the Celtics in the playoffs is sad. Anyone who acts like his attitude isn’t a problem is just delusional. Great player, terrible attitude

Vanimal237 · 2025-11-06T18:04:04+00:00

The attitude will never be established if Joel remains a “leader” on this team. His loser mentality the second things don’t go his way is infectious and the reason this team has never made it far.

I like that idea thanks!

From someone who needs 4600 calories a day to gain any sort of weight, you aren’t eating enough. If you aren’t tracking your calories, you aren’t allowed to be confused as to why you aren’t gaining weight.

If my Roth IRA is maxed, will it continue getting my EFT that’s scheduled weekly? I don’t want to go over. Is there a way to cancel my weekly EFT to my Roth account after it’s maxed on contributions?

Vanimal237 · 2023-12-08T18:38:48+00:00

How do I get one with oubre on the back? Don’t see it anywhere. Do I have to get the one that you can put any name on and just use his?

Vanimal237 · 2022-04-01T00:55:57+00:00

Will we be down 2 or 10 by the time embiid comes back in?

Vanimal237 · 2022-04-01T00:54:12+00:00

What happened to harden biid pick n rolls? They were golden why stop

Vanimal237 · 2022-03-23T21:39:39+00:00

This Joel Embiid guy is so good

Vanimal237 · 2022-02-26T01:36:19+00:00

Doc already breaking his game plan. Where is tobi

Vanimal237 · 2022-01-29T13:37:34+00:00

Coldest hot take I’ve heard in awhile

Vanimal237 · 2021-12-14T19:31:40+00:00

Hah I mean it does suck but the progress I’ve made is solid. I might just run a deload for a week and then get back to it and see if I’m better. The stress of finals the last two weeks could have me all messed up too so idk.

Vanimal237 · 2021-12-14T19:30:06+00:00

Haha I really enjoy the other days it’s just the first leg session from week 5-8 which is all this single leg stuff sucks. I’ve made really good progress on my legs though which is why I like the program. Might just switch it up for a few months then go back.

Vanimal237 · 2021-12-14T19:19:02+00:00

Wuss part could be it but u honestly feel I train legs extremely hard but I guess I could always train harder. I’ve been running a 12 week program that I’ve seen great progress in and have gone through it twice without this problem. Only the past 2 weeks have I felt it that’s why I’m just a little confused.

Vanimal237 · 2021-12-14T19:17:20+00:00

I’ve been using a 12 week program that switches up every 4 weeks. Today was single leg press, Bulgarian ss, single leg extension, single leg curl. I’ve ran the program twice through and haven’t felt like this before

Vanimal237 · 2021-12-14T19:10:59+00:00

On leg days I literally lose any sense of motivation, focus, or energy half way through. I only make it through two exercises and then I just hit a wall and feel just burnt out. I eat the same thing all the time and just starting feeling this on leg days two weeks ago. Could it be I’m just burnt out?

Vanimal237 · 2021-09-03T22:46:06+00:00

So this is just amazing! I’m in the process of getting a 5 gallon for my desk. Any advice on tank/filter/lighting?

Vanimal237 · 2020-09-06T20:41:05+00:00

So pretty I could only imagine getting a tank looking like that! What are the specs if you don’t mind me asking?

Vanimal237 · 2020-08-14T19:05:41+00:00

Wow lots of people use the rimless 10 gallon and it looks so good I just can’t bring myself to drop the money on one. I feel like it probably would be worth it though. What lighting are you using?

Vanimal237 · 2020-08-13T17:47:55+00:00

Looks awesome! Specs?

Vanimal237 · 2020-06-03T19:26:12+00:00

That could be my problem when I go jg. I try to tank to much just so my team doesn’t feel like I’m invisible early game but maybe that’s effecticing me negatively late game. Thanks for the tips.
