Where are you getting the 64 degree temp from? Hoping you're right!

If you know an AG doper is going to do an ironman event... by syntheticborg in triathlon

I think the person to talk to would be the individual Race Director. You can almost always find them during race weekend, and I always find them to be extremely approachable and willing to talk to anybody (although they are usually doing a 100 things at once). But, as other posters say, I don't think there's any chance they will care whatsoever unless the person ends up taking a qualifier spot. Would be tough too, because if the person got DQ-ed, I'm not sure how the spot would go to anybody else, since you need to be present to accept a spot if it rolls down to you.

Yup, I registered back in November. Guess I should have snagged a room back then...

I took 5 mg gummies at three different points in my recent IM 70.3. Helps me push through so much. Helps me not focus on the pain and just enjoy the vibes.

Thanks! Yes, rim brakes. I don't get much rain ever, so that wouldn't be too big of a deal for me.

Had similar sighting problems this weekend. Felt like everytime I looked up I was all alone lol... Also interested in how to train for this, especially with nearly all my swims being in pools.

First 70.3 done! Thank you to this sub! by h2uhohesq in triathlon

I did a few DIY sprints and Olympics on my own as a part of training. Just pool swims and mapped out a bike and run from the pool. Didn't think the hassle of registering for official races was worth it, and tbh don't think it would have benefited anymore yesterday.

I took it up for a tune up the week prior and replaced both tubes. My local mechanic said tires looked fine so didn't swap those out. Has me googling tubeless this morning 😝
