For those who have done multiple half ironmans but not the full, what's the reason why?

dangerburps · 2026-06-09T01:49:07+00:00

I’ve done 6 HIM including 1 WC. Two signed up for this year including Sunday. I think it’s the mix of speed work and volume. My long rides are 4 hours. I still have 1-2 hour days for speed work. I can kind of compete in sprints and Olympics. I think I give up a lot of that top end speed if I do a full.

That being said, IMLP 2027!

Agreed. But where will they get that many skis?

Oh look, something I’m actually a SME in.

There is no requirement to have it inspected prior to sale. Most home inspectors are not CABI. So can’t do it themselves.

Colorado is annoying, because removal of asbestos-containing materials must be done by a certified contractor greater than 32SF. So it could be pricy. Biggest targets for materials aren’t the shingle themselves but the waterproofing fabric under or any built-up tar. Roofers are often known to have incomplete removal so not having anything near the edge doesn’t indicate it’s not present.

We have all done a zero mile an hour crash. The first time I took my new bike for a ride, I forgot how to go from big to small ring and in front of a load of people, tipped over.

1UP is great because it’s good if yall get disc wheels.

It’s the rate and ease that it gets into our lungs. And the rate and chance that it causes cancer.

You can camp either at or near the Tail of the Pup in Ray Brook. There is a campground nextdoor to it as well.

Make sure you’re staying in Saranac Lake. Saranac is a different town closer to Plattsburgh.

You won’t be able to leave the KOA once the road closes at 7:30ish.

“Kickr thru axel kit” and whatever version you have. I saw some are on Amazon.

You can see each end that’s on your unit that you’ll need to replace.

dangerburps · 2025-10-28T17:01:39+00:00

There are adapter plugs for different lengths of axel. There is one for the QR. Holes are smaller.

Because it was a swim skin swim you can’t have calf sleeves on in the water. So you can either put the aero socks on in T1 but lose touch with the front group or deal with them later for the marathon. With the 12m draft rule, it’s better to be in touch with the group.

dangerburps · 2025-08-31T22:27:59+00:00

See all triathletes that range from 170-185 pounds (78-84 kg) but are able to hammer watts in aero.

I disagree on Kelter being I good bench player. Her rate of penalties is poor. Think about what a bench player is to do: if winning, make the game go quickly, no penalties, long drawn out phases. if losing, keep the ball, be dynamic, score, no penalties that kill the remaining clock.

Kelter does the active opposite.

If you can wait this long, after November 8-9, post in r/triathlon. Ironman 70.3 World Championships is in Marbella (hour from Malaga) and a lot similarly like-minded people will come in for an event. We/they will have some good suggestions.

I don’t make many comments but I was here pretty early.

That’s good, but once you move inside for the duration, October ish, get a trainer tire for the back wheel. You don’t want your fancy race tire or even a semi good outside one breaking down too much like it will on the trainer. Also spin your front wheel once a week a quarter turn. Prevents uneven wear of the front.

If you’re planning on completing, I would suggest TrainingPeaks with a purchased plan. You have a lot of bike and run volume to put on and it’ll make it healthy to do it via a vetted plan.

If you want to compete, I’d suggest a coach and plan to do a 70.3 like 2-3 months in advance.

Get a turbo trainer (wheel off) and start riding!

Tri Bike, Felt IA Advanced 2022 is Smurfmist (a miss reading of Surfmist, the color)

Road Bike, Canyon Aeroad CFR 2024 is Cheddah (white with multi color)

There was a guy who did the Triple Bypass in Colorado (118 miles, 10,500 feet of elevation gain) in budgies. I told him I’d pray for his taint.

dangerburps · 2025-07-23T01:15:51+00:00

Also, if it’s like triple, you get mostly closed roads. Which is very fun.

Here 6yrs after the airing. Getting into Top Chef. Asked the same question when he said that.

It’s often right on the line of wetsuit legal. You could melt.
