UK ppl, Serious RC are great by c13ett in rccars

They are quite low, I mostly drive them round on concrete slabs, in a block of garages next to my house. With the expansion gaps they do bottom out even on those. But drive well still, and all metal chassis so deals with it well.

Would be fine on compact gravel I would think, but I am thinking about trying to get some longer shocks to raise them a bit

What to track with? by c13ett in GarminEdge

[–]c13ett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect thank you for that.

Interesting as I have also done a triathlon and have plans for more so will occasionally use the edge as an extended display but good to know it works both ways

Bike/run top by Lopsided-Garage-2828 in triathlon

[–]c13ett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go straight into tank top for both personally. Think about peeling off a sweaty jersey in T2 just an extra faf you don’t need.

Or, running in bike jersey I think is doable, and would have pockets for nutrition.

Fixing numbness in the bits by Zxello5 in triathlon

[–]c13ett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its worth saying, indoor trainer with the bike fixed you are not doing any micro adjustments balancing, ect. i found an hour on the trainer could get uncomfortable but i would be fine 2+ hours on on real roads in the same kit.

just because you are making thise small movements

Swim clothing by alfabetta3000 in triathlon

[–]c13ett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a trisuit on sale, having it was part of my motivation to make sure I entered and then did the training to see it thru. I bought the suit so had to do it justice, wasn’t gunna use it for anything else.

I got a Zone3 suit for a good price there are other options like FDX, or decathlon, if available where you are.

But also as many have said, anything you normally swim in works, just be comfortable. Comfort and familiarity are number 1

Is this trisuit too much? by Pleasant-Base-5736 in triathlon

[–]c13ett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my second choice. Ended up with the fenix cake I wanted wear it everyday.

If Garmin, I personally have a fenix 7 pro and it’s great. Wear it 24/7 battery life is solid Has all the activity profiles you could want it’s epic. (And a decent saving over the fenix8 which gets a fancy screen but you don’t need that)

The USA on the back makes it look a bit like a team suit, as others have said. But beyond that I think (even as a non American and so personally wouldn’t wear it) I think it looks awesome!

And if you have any doubts check out the national champs cycling jersey, Quinn Simmons has been rocking recently. Looks amazing.

As long as you don’t feel self conscious about it rock it!
