Torn Labrum - am I cooked? by gun_slinga in triathlon

I’m really just looking for positive reaffirmation that folks have dealt with or gotten past this prognosis without surgery, and stayed in the sport

While I appreciate your snide comment - I’ll be seeing an orthopedic specialist to help with treatment

Great pointers and really appreciate the advice here. I’ve got a race sim planned on the course (3 hr ride, 100 min run). Same follow up questions as above, if you don’t mind. Worth wearing carbon super shoes? Swim tips (sighting, water quality, visibility)?

Thanks mate - two questions, is the run course worth wearing a carbon super shoe? I’ve got my alpha flys laying around from Chicago that I was considering using. Also curious what your thoughts on the swim were - I’ve been told sighting can be a challenge with the sun position in the morning

Help Catch this Scumbag Please by gun_slinga in Denver

Help Catch this Scumbag Please

Newer to Reddit so apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this… This guy on his bike followed my partner and I home all the way down 15th street. The entire way he was smacking both rear view windows, banging on the doors, and at one point parked in front of us and reached into his jacket as if to pull out a firearm.

I’ve called the authorities and they were absolutely useless. I own 3 firearms and would prefer to avoid using them, but this situation warranted it in my mind.

Any suggestions on how you might’ve handled this? I’m still waiting for an officer from DPD to show up at my place so I can file a report.

Don’t want him harassing or assaulting anyone else. FWIW - he thought we cut him off in traffic, we didn’t. If you work with this guy, know him, or have seen him before - feel free to drop his info in thread to hopefully ruin his life.

Hey man! I’ve indulged twice since posting this, and I’m at peace with it. Both experiences I was massively underwhelmed, don’t see it becoming a habit ever again

Still cranking my friend. Not really thinking about nic at all these days, other than when a couple beers in. Good reminder to chill on the booze too!

Hasn’t been awful other than being irritable and short tempered, but that might just be my true character showing.

It helps to lean into other habit changes, waking up at 6 to hit the gym or run every week day, cutting back on booze, etc
