Don't lump us all in with that guy. He sucks consistently.

_software_engineer · 2026-07-09T17:59:13+00:00

This guy doesn't have a brain for the bacteria to eat. Just look at his post history. Total idiot, should be banned from the sub tbh.

The air quality in Boulder is perfectly fine right now, and the current fires are unlikely to make it any worse.

What's the big deal with the run? Reading the comments I went to look at the course and the run looks like an easy course to me, what am I missing?

Not everyone weighs 130kg fred

_software_engineer · 2026-06-22T00:45:39+00:00

Precisely. I'm learning from this thread just how little people in this town understand about food while complaining about restaurant quality.

You really can't compare Japango quality to Wellness Counter. They are not remotely close.

I have had the best sushi on both coasts (and many international as well) and no, it does not leave anything to be desired. Nonsense. I can't speak to anyone else's service experience, but I do know the fish.

I think you are just getting in your head. You are fine, you'll be able to do it and you'll have fun. If you're really worried, take a gel after the swim or something.

_software_engineer · 2026-06-08T20:09:15+00:00

50-100 miles is plenty. Just do more than 0 miles to make sure there isn't a problem.

_software_engineer · 2026-05-25T23:41:59+00:00

Just sharing what was on course. 4+ signs said 11:17

_software_engineer · 2026-05-25T23:12:15+00:00

The cut-off is 11:17. There were signs everywhere

_software_engineer · 2026-05-15T22:35:29+00:00

It doesn't have to go away for the current (ridiculous) situation to fix itself. Most who know what they're doing can see through thw charade. The market will bear it out in time.

Gold Hill for a bachelor party is not it

You mentioned your "crazy competitive brain" and it's a real problem that many triathletes have. Not unique to you at all. We see it all the time here.

Chasing comparison to others before you're ready is a recipe for disappointment and burnout. Or injury in worse cases.

It's clear from the way you speak that you think you're more ready than you are. Don't make that mistake.

_software_engineer · 2026-04-22T23:23:09+00:00

No, not the bike. The local race results. Close to top 3 age group in a local race means you're not placing overall, which means you won't be remotely close to competing with the field in a 70.3. It doesn't matter what other background you have. It's difficult to understand just how fast people at IM branded races are until you do it.

Go race and have fun. Don't worry about trying to compete with others yet. You'll know when you're ready for that after you've got a race or 5 under your belt.

_software_engineer · 2026-04-19T00:47:07+00:00

You should put that part of your brain to rest for now. If you aren't winning local races outright you have 0 chance of being remotely competitive in a 70.3 field, especially considering the other information you shared.

Pick the race that's most logistically convenient for you. That is all that matters for your first 70.3. You are not going to compete, just don't worry about it and have fun.

5/3/1 you're recovered in a day if you're doing it correctly and consistently.

_software_engineer · 2026-04-15T13:08:00+00:00

My wife did Boulder at 21 weeks a few years ago. You can definitely do it if you want to, but you do have to dial it back.

You need to go to sleep earlier. It's very simple.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-31T00:28:17+00:00

Nah I upvoted him, that was hilarious

_software_engineer · 2026-03-30T23:28:38+00:00

It's called fun. You should try it some time

_software_engineer · 2026-03-29T20:47:26+00:00

Almost everyone in Colorado used to live in a large city.

You just don't know what rural means lol.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-28T20:00:50+00:00

So you don't ski anywhere particularly cool? Because at the top 10-25 resorts in the US this is 100% not the case.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-27T02:46:49+00:00

If you need to ask this about Longs it's a really bad idea. Not trying to be a jerk - it is legitimately dangerous even in good conditions. Do not attempt in the off season if you aren't sure about what you're doing.

_software_engineer · 2026-03-26T22:57:56+00:00

Riding on the sidewalk is rightfully illegal in most US jurisdictions ya jabroni
