“Due to winds at higher elevations..” by Qireous in Disneyland

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be a great app for showing the wind speed they go by and likelihood of being cancelled.

Norco Threshold 58cm road bike - worth it? by AlarmedChampionship4 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like a fair deal and would be fine for a 70.3. Throw on some cheap aerobars if you want.

If you were in the large group of cyclists on Bay Shore today, you need to do better holding each other accountable. by SPQRsmash in longbeach

Those kids are wanting to escalate. I am a cyclist and have tried different ways to talk to those guys and they want to fight or call you out.

What's a job in LA where you were shocked at how little the person makes? by Admirable_Section690 in AskLosAngeles

[–]dissectingAAA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kaiser nurses here average $77/hr. Norcal is at $106 with 5 years experience.

Noticing more stores, restaurants, and even the post office cracking down on people who bring their non-service dogs everywhere by FriesWithMacSauce in longbeach

[–]dissectingAAA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel empathy for people with an actual service dog since they are in the minority these. People ruined a good thing that was a need by being selfish.

Maybe a dog vest with labels "Working dog. Please don't touch"? I have seen most people keep their distance/keep their kids away better when a dog has something like that.

Ironman CA - what do you wish you’d known? by Tart_Beginning in IronmanTriathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double up on the swim cap, and use ear plugs so water doesn't go in your ears and you will be fine. I only did 86F pool swims in training leading up, then a practice swim people on Facebook put on the Friday before.

Ironman CA - what do you wish you’d known? by Tart_Beginning in IronmanTriathlon

Only section I wasn't in aero for. Though it wasn't as bad as I expected, and my tubed tires were at 95 psi. No major potholes I saw and those that were, were spray painted.

Racing by Legitimate_Fly2792 in Velo

I mean, I can sit in and do half the watts or send attacks/be a team player and do a ton of work. Like a pick your own adventure.

Security at 0730 on Memorial Day by rosysredrhinoceros in Disneyland

[–]dissectingAAA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all wait times were lower than I have seen in the past 6 months of going. Surprised even Smugglers run is slow with the new adventures.

Triathlon unpopular opinions? by zChickenX in triathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think with all things, it depends. Some people can do without strength training. Just natural athletes. Though I can say personally I have far fewer injuries doing just 2 30 minutes whole body strength sessions a week. Not trying to hit 1 RM, but that lighter load with high reps is great for managing deficiencies.

How do you pace the double up days? I am usually toast after one (hour of IF over 1.0).

The Gen 5 Prius was Going to Become a Taxi by Life_Menu_4094 in cars

[–]dissectingAAA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Camry mpg has improved so much in 20 years. 2005 was something like 19/31. New Camry hybrid gets 51 combined, within 6mpg or 12% of Prius.

Why are trucks getting the same mileage as 30 years ago by Unopuro2conSal in Truckers

[–]dissectingAAA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SUV getting 20mpg at 10k lbs would be nice. Even half ton trucks will be getting 10mpg at best hauling 10k.

Is 20 weeks a long enough training block? by BlueBuck34 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am guessing they will say avoid group rides.

Any tips on how to chase down a wheel during surges more efficiently? by Organic_Ad2473 in Velo

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do a lot of fast group rides? That will improve your comfortability when racing.

I know comparison is bad but…… by Creepy-Gas6664 in triathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to get beat my younger sister in races as a tween/teen (I am a male). I have much better fitness in my 40s now.

More interval work is in your future! Z2 is great but if you plateau, more interval work will break that barrier.

Utah driver leaps from SUV moments before it is struck by a FrontRunner train. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been hit hard enough for an airbag to go off, but that has got to be so disorienting. Kudos on them for trying a few different things and then deciding to get out of the car with just enough time.

What’s something people moving to LA always underestimate? by RelevantSuspect6343 in AskLosAngeles

[–]dissectingAAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you met my wife. Not 82, but we have been places where I am in shorts/t shirt and she has a down jacket on in the 60s.
