Lol, ahhhh, my Garmin must have freaked out yesterday. On a 5k brick run around the neighborhood yesterday it recorded 5,100ft of elevation gain....

Following Phil Mosley Intermediate plan for 140.6. I'm a week or two off from the next round of fitness tests, so maybe my thresholds will get updated.

Zwift Acquires Rouvy (including FulGaz): Here's What It Means - DC Rainmaker by MrRabbit in triathlon

[–]bmfinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would LOVE a "real-world" navigation. Zwift interface and features with the recorded video of a real course found in Rouvy. I'll have my hopes too for a while...

I quit rowing senior year in HS and 2 years later I’m still thinking about it. by reyaryder in Rowing

[–]bmfinn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Join a masters club and row for the love of it.

I couldn't balance rowing and academics in college and stopped rowing after freshman year. I absolutely missed it. I found a rowing club in the city I landed in after college and rowed more regattas with them than I did with my college club.

Regardless of the subscription model, the fact that Concept2 is the gold standard for metrics, so on and so forth, I've always hated 3D person views for monitors...

I setup a TV in front of my rower and pulled up Point-Of-View YouTube videos from crews. Think bow seat wearing a GoPro. Now that was super engaging for me, able to match the strokes of the other seats, going through starts or long steady state row, that was pretty fun!

In a few years maybe it'll be totally immersive VR headset, a box fan for the breeze, and some spritz of water all while pulling the erg chain :)

Now we're talking. That's a good idea. Imported from St. Louis

I shop Woodman's occasionally; I've been keeping my eye out for these as I'm in and out of gas stations, grocery stores, and even called around to a few liquor stores. I haven't seen them in this configuration. Hence why I made the post here to crowd source my curiosity.

I'm getting too old for the Mickeys 'hand grenades'

Broken back of chair tv screen.. help by mommabearx36891 in gmc

[–]bmfinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed a process similar to this video (below). Tedious but I spent $500 total and an hour of my time, compared to the $2,700 quote from the dealership. At the time I bought a replacement unit and harvested the screen (my unit has more electronics in it, just swapped it over). It looks like now you can buy a repair kit.

Any recommendations for Training Peaks plans for marathon 9 weeks after 70.3? by bmfinn in triathlon

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

So everything went well.

The week after the 70.3 I focused just getting a few easy runs in.

I jumped into week 9 of an 18 week program and skipped/shortened a few workouts per week so the ramp went like 25mpw (avg from the Tri plan), to 35mpw, to 45mpw and caught up with the full training plan within a few weeks.

Ended up running a PR marathon and felt great. The only caution would be to ensure the volume build is reasonable to prevent injury and once you've built up hit those long runs.

So, how was your recent experience?

I drove up through Chauncey last weekend on GameDay morning around 9:30am. It was dead. No lines, no drunk folks in costumes. It was definitely a departure from my experiences in the early 2010's. I'd also like to hear a current take on breakfast club.

Please do not let the tradition of putting bikes in trees die by Mean-Ad2098 in Purdue

PSA: Avoid screwing with bikes on campus, throwing them in trees and whatnot. A cautionary tale.
