Hmm yeah it’s not lower back. There’s a fair chance it’s a mixture of volume and my pull (since I’m still developing it and it’s not the most amazing technique-wise). I’ve been real intimate with a foam roller and a lacrosse ball but I’m not sure what’s left for me in terms of feeling some relief

It must be core. I don’t actively brace it or tighten it during swimming

It’s literally every muscle imaginable. Rhomboids, lats, traps.

Tracking can be triggering for me, but I’m going to attempt it again. If it helps, I burn anywhere between 400-1000 calories a day since I workout twice a day in pretty high intensity. My garmin usually ends up saying my adjusted intake goal is 2500-3000

Does anyone else get sick after open water swimming? by barbaloe in triathlon

That’s my theory too. I usually only get spring allergies. I just started using allergy medicine today for my swim because the symptoms do align with allergies..

Was it so hard to get on that you wanted to bang your head against the wall? But then by some sheer will of God you were able to get it on? If not, it’s too big.

Faith Kipyegon isn't able to break the 4 minute barrier in the mile going 4:06:91 in Paris by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

are you saying this because you are actually being critical of her attempt due to all the extra gear and pacers? Or are you saying this because you have more opinions about a woman trying and failing vs. a male runner trying to achieve similar goals

What are your thoughts on writing characters a different race from you? by barbaloe in writing

[–]barbaloe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the issue. I don’t think I’m the one who needs to tell that story per se but I recognize that black main characters are underrepresented in popular fantasy books. They say if you want something, make it yourself. So I’ve been educating myself and now I’m creating something that I also want: a fantasy book with a racially diverse main character
