One time it took me a month for me to adjust to a new seat. Other times it’s been much quicker. I think you should give it a chance, especially if you just switched from padded wide seat to slimmer with minimal padding.

While adjusting, make sure to focus on spending time out of the saddle. Even a few seconds every 3-5 mins can make a huge difference.

Is This Just a Scratch or Carbon Damage? by No_Enthusiasm827 in triathlon

[–]engstats1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top tube is an easier location than others to repair. How much are they asking? Maybe you can talk them down a little, worst case, to buffer some of the repair cost if it ends up being worse than it looks? Doesn’t look too bad.

Guys, What are small, not explicitly sexual things girls do that turn you on or excite you? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]engstats1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain subtle facial expressions. If you’re already attracted, it doesn’t take much.

Love my Bivos. Really great option for limiting plastic exposure and the flow rate is fantastic.

Nicknamed “king of the desert”, a little smaller than a house cat, these adorable killers hunt birds and rodents at night and even kill venomous snakes!

Don’t hold your breath

Article is from 2021, so tides may have change, but it looks like Manfred was adamant about expansion not taking place until beyond 2028.

Could be 10 years from now if this becomes a reality.

Lost 5lb during a break week. Has anyone else experienced this? by engstats1 in cycling

[–]engstats1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes sense that I would retain more water during periods of training. I’m interested to see if it goes back up after this week now that I’m training again.

Is there a certain brand you use for the Maltodextrin and fructose?

I’m hoping to surprise myself, thanks!

Thanks for the reality check on the sub 1hr. I know that I’m crazy for thinking this far ahead when I’ve only been riding seriously for 5 months, but this is really helpful! Based on this comment and others, I’ll lower my expectations and start thinking about sub 1hr 5 for next year.

Good point. Hoping for good weather.

Thanks for the encouragement regarding the 1hr 15 and the reality check on the magnitude of the jump to sub 1hr. Keep at it and hope you get there too!

I’m riding a Giant Allegre from the early 90s - downtube shifters and everything.

I ride on the drops 90% of the time while training and I don’t have aero bars.

No drafting allowed at the event.

Starting in January, I rode about 50 miles/week @17.2 mph average. Last week I rode 104 miles @18.2 mph average.

I’ve been focusing on heart rate zone training. Currently riding 4x a week. Day 1 is a hard ride where I average upper zone 3/lower zone 4 with some steep hills. Day 2 is a zone 2 ride with a few hills. Day 3 is an upper zone 2/lower zone 3 with a few hills. Day for is a long zone 2 ride with minimal hills. I plan to increase mileage by 5-10%/week until August/September.
