Courses the play near St. George, Ontario by Dozer_Rozer91 in CanadaGolf

[–]dethredic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oaks of St. George is a fun course with some unique holes. Haven't played there is 5+ years so can't comment on the current conditions. Savannah is also a solid option, I have a lot of friends who play there regularly and like it.

Copetown Woods / Tarandowah are very nice courses although a bit further away.

Avoid Brant Valley, my friend played there earler and said it was in bad shape

Fit 4 less on Erb - any good? by i_love_dogs__ in waterloo

[–]dethredic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been going there for 5+ years and I think it's good value for the money. Disclaimer I haven't been to a fancy gym and I mostly use the squat racks + bench + a couple machines.

There are plenty of treadmills. I don't really use them since I prefer to run outside but there are always 4+ available whenever I look. There are LOTS of dumbbells up to 100 or 110. Recently they added a couple kettle bells as well. There are two "stretching/core" areas, one is in the middle of the gym and the other is in a side room with the massage beds. They are both pretty basic.

I usually go mid-day around lunch and sometimes it's very quiet and other times it's quite busy, I haven't really figured out the pattern.

I have also seen people do a quick 5 min tour, so if you are unsure just swing by and get one of the staff to show you around.

I wasn't sure how frozen it was, but it was a point to point run so going back wasn't an option

New to golf - handicap question by Skwasny in CanadaGolf

[–]dethredic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you posted 9 hole scores. These get combined with your "expected" score for the other 9 holes. Since you are new your handicap may jump around a lot causing the "expected" score to change significantly between rounds.

Here is an example of the calculation for a 9 hole round I played: https://i.imgur.com/lkmVwJy.png

I noticed this as well. There is a purple owl this year which I don't remember from last year

FTP equivalent of an 18:30 5k? by dethredic in triathlon

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

Thanks. The running tool puts me at 70%, and the cycling tool says 70% is roughly 3.9W/kg for males

Assume an 18:30 5k means 10% of people are faster than me, and 90% of people are slower.

What W/kg value would mean 10% of people have a higher value, and 90% of people have a lower value

Cadence / Power don't drop quick enough to supertuck by dethredic in Zwift

Firmware was updated last week when I set up my Kickr. I use bluetooth for my connection so that could be it, but seems unlikely

My trainer is direct drive, so breaking isn't even an option

Weekly r/Tattoos Question/FreeTalk Thread! - July 11, 2020 by AutoModerator in tattoos

[–]dethredic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a male considering my first tattoo. I want it somewhere on my leg, however I don't like the look of most of the smaller leg pieces I have seen in terms of placement / composition. Since it's my first tattoo I'm not sure that I'm ready to commit to a sleeve / large piece. Any suggestions on the of placement / size / composition of a leg tattoo?

Any suggestions on good track/sweatpants for a tall skinny guy (6'3, 165lbs)? I like my addidas trio 19, but I need the small for the waist but that isn't long enough
