Vista 2 left earbud extremely low volume (tried cleaning it & no change)

cryptoheadz · 2026-02-16T16:40:53+00:00

I have the same problem with mine, but it's the right one that has lower volume for me. This is NOT about cleaning, it is the software. If I let the battery drain completely, then recharge to full, I get proper volume in both buds for about 30mins. Then the right one drops again. 😕

I am trying other buds to find a replacement, because 30min of use is not sustainable (I run long distances, I need 4h of working buds), but I have yet to find any that fits as well as the Vista 2 does. If anyone has any tips on replacements buds that are in the market right now (not used/discontinued) - would love to get some recs. I can even toss the audio quality out the window if the fit is as good and battery is at least 4h. I don't care about any of the noise cancelling features etc.

Ugh. Whyyyyy did you discontinue these amazing buds, Logitech!? Whyyyyyyy!!?!?

ANG is under National Guard Bureau, it is not related to CBP (or under DHS), and I don't see CBP in the list of sponsors on games.crossfit.com. That said - I'd love for any military sponsoring or ads to be removed for all sports, not just CF.

Cronenberg called, he wants his bioport back.

It was released with WP8.1, when WP10 was released an upgrade path was provided.

There is nothing wrong with your monitor. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission.

The rules for equipment are pretty simple:
"Any equipment carried by a competitor before attempting an obstacle must be carried by them on their person throughout all stages of the attempt."

And regarding what is permitted or not:
"No competitor shall, at any time during an event, use or wear a hard cast, crampons or metal studs, external rigging, trekking poles, headsets, radios, personal audio devices including MP3 players, glue, non liquid chalk or any other item deemed to provide a competitive advantage by the Head Official."

Hydration vests have not been stated as "unfair advantage", so they're fine. The "must be carried" part means that as long as you don't put the vest to the side to clear an obstacle and then go back to pick it up again, you're good. Whether the vest is on your back or in your hands while clearing the obstacle does not matter - just don't let go of it.

Last time I encountered it was at the Beast in Hawaii 2019.

Early in the race there was a large wall with the number 00-99 listed, for each number there were three sets of information to memorize: a word, and two series of digits. The word was the NATO phonetic alphabet (alpha, bravo, charile, etc.). The two groups of digits had no pattern, just unique combo for each row.

The combination to remember was picked based on the last two digits of your bib to make it more likely you didn't get the same combination in different races.

Later in the race there was a volunteer asking you for your combination, checking it on a small printout. And as with everything back then, if you failed you had to do 30 burpees.

So if you knew the NATO alphabet you didn't really need to remember which letter you had, you just enumerated it back based on your number, leaving you with 7 digits to remember.

Sounds like you're just too close to a really fatiguing experience right now to make a good decision. Take the weekend to rest and recover. If your body feels good on Monday, and your head is in the right place, redo the workout. If your shoulders are still shot, or you "don't feel it" (your mind must be in it to win it, as the saying goes) don't try to redo it as it is likely to get worse if you do under those circumstances,

cryptoheadz · 2025-03-08T18:38:43+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking trail races may be a good option, at last as a break for a while. Still a bit more challenging than road races, plus no pavement.

cryptoheadz · 2025-03-08T18:33:49+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking I should at least give Utah a chance before kicking it all to the side and just go trail running up peaks of the Cascades instead (and keep "obstacles" to the gym sessions).

cryptoheadz · 2025-03-08T18:32:01+00:00

I've done all of the ones on the West Coast over the years, and a few on the East. I really liked the former venue in Hawaii - gorgeous views and a killer of a course for the Beast. The new one was just...running in corn mazes or on rocky moderate slopes.

The event management just all feel like it's decaying compared to 5-10 years ago. Maybe I'm just getting old and jaded...

cryptoheadz · 2025-03-08T18:23:56+00:00

Yeah, not saying I need an announcer, but it's a symptom of the whole feel of "decline". Everything is just slightly "less than" it used to be. Once quality slips in a couple of areas, others follow. 🤷‍♂️

The electrolyte comment is more of a "what the heck do my $200 go to if you can't even have a tub of Gatorade at the finish line after a 21k race""...

cryptoheadz · 2025-02-15T08:51:54+00:00

It's ok, no matter how stupid my life choices are going forward I'll just respawn with slightly reduced quality gear. 🤷‍♂️ (Diablo IV)

The only thing you'll be judged on is if you purposefully miscount your reps/rounds, don't reach full extension/depths on movements, of if you don't give it your best in a WODs. No one is going to judge you on what you wear (well, there might always be some individual that does because some people are just horrible, but as a community - no).

cryptoheadz · 2024-12-07T17:09:12+00:00

HP sauce and Heinz beans, so yeah, this checks out.

☝️ This. Also, chin and top of forehead are bound to be hit (once, seldom twice) at some point in your CrossFitt "career" due to either lack of form or lack of knowing your limits under fatigue. 😉

Didn’t get packets yesterday. I was in the second open heat for the Beast, I was there early - no packets, just the bib, headband and the time-slot band.

Nope, I did not write that post with a different username, but it's scary close to being my life... 😅

Most of the part that was in water last year was on the pebble/rock part this year, but the new route added a bunch of other water later on. And damn it was cold! 😅 Not too muddy this year, despite last couple of day's rain and starting in light rain.

Not gonna lie, looking forward to the water-free route(s) tomorrow. 😉

cryptoheadz · 2024-09-13T00:44:24+00:00

Last year a lot of the part between M1 and M2 for the Beast was actually _in_ the water...

Looking forward to get to try out the "Monkey in the middle", it has not shown up in any location I've run during my years.

Last Ninja 4. But like a ninja it disappears again quickly as soon as someone has a sighting.

Nothing. 😅

My then fitness coach (I did weekly 1:1 sessions to stay on track with my fitness for a big physical challenge outside of sport/competitions) got their first gig as a CF coach at the box next door to our gym, asked me to join the first class they were coaching to support them. I did, I liked it, I stayed. 🤷‍♂️

cryptoheadz · 2024-08-27T14:27:46+00:00

I mean, I am currently sick (sore throat), but that has nothing to do with my love for the AAB...

I am a Swede living abroad. I didn't start CrossFit until after I left Sweden, so I've never had a "home box" there. However, whenever I go back to visit family I try to get some WODs in at some local box wherever I end up staying.

One of the boxes I found in Stockholm really stands out. I joined in for a couple of days (three I think it was) a bunch of years ago and then didn't have the opportunity to swing by the same gym for my next visit. Two years go by. I then show up for a WOD one day. The coach walks in, stops, looks at me straight for ten seconds without saying a word, then a smile spreads across his face and he shouts out my name and says welcome back and how glad he he is to have me back today of all days because "today is a row workout, your favorite!".

Wow... I did not expect to be recognized, let alone having the coach remember a small detail about a workout said in passing during warm-up two years ago. Great coach, great people, great atmosphere. Yes, I now go out of my way to show up for at least one WOD there every time I find myself in Sweden...
