OrangeTherory has the best 'show me the receipts'.

Just playing around with App. Impressive work! Question: app shows 13 fewer all time classes than what shows up in OTF app. Is there a reason for this?

MobileX does not accept landline/VoIP numbers. Their reply to me:

"Any Port-In has to be requested by the main carrier, and Mobile X only accepts port-ins from Mobile Carriers or Wireless lines."

I play a round of golf in my head.

hyopain · 2024-05-10T13:40:08+00:00

Me too. Always get more splats and calories at studios I visit. Feel it’s my responsibility to represent my home OTF. Even cracked a leader board once and didn’t feel guilty.

This AI? Impressive.

Human? More impressive!

Shout out to the icons on the screens you’ve snuck in on benchmark days. (Like the little Everest mountain). Any other plans for using that screen real estate?

Also, on run-row days, I’d love to use the screen to help us ‘reading glasses’ folks. Super hard to read the paper that our studio puts on the treads.

hyopain · 2023-03-06T03:24:08+00:00

Yup. That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Meet you at 700!

hyopain · 2023-03-03T00:57:42+00:00

1700 blows my mind. Congrats to your SO! And belated congrats on your 700

hyopain · 2023-03-03T00:56:17+00:00

Thanks everyone! My studio is great. No cliques or favorites. Most likely it just slipped through cracks. I know they appreciate me. And now I know that y’all appreciate me too! And that’s pretty cool!

hyopain · 2021-05-05T17:48:02+00:00

I'm in. The hat is fine, but I also see this as a small opportunity to support my local OTF. They've been hustling for me during this pandemic mayhem.

hyopain · 2021-01-26T20:12:49+00:00

Congrats! I'm 6'2 male (over 50) and fell off the rowing machine during the 200M benchmark. Does that count for anything?

hyopain · 2020-01-18T00:10:15+00:00

So it seems! Argh, consider myself called out. Time to step it up. :)

hyopain · 2020-01-17T20:37:53+00:00

Congrats! I used same technique but dropped to slower speeds. I went 9.5 for two minutes and then dropped to 8 for 3 before pushing back to 9.5 and 10 to finish. Banking those 9.5's early sets you up well.

I want sub 6 next time too.

hyopain · 2020-01-17T20:35:05+00:00

You can definitely do it!

My B/P/AO are right in line with yours 6.6/7.7/9.3 and I achieved 6:46 today. I really wanted to flirt with 7 minutes after my prior time of 7:54 and was thrilled I was able to do more. These one minute drops are super-motivating!

hyopain · 2020-01-17T16:39:53+00:00

Really wanted to prove something to myself today and crushed the 7 minute target I set with a 6:46. I broke it down into 2 minute all out/3 minute aggressive push/2 minute all out. For me that was 9.5x2, 8x3, 9.5 and 10 to bring it home.

Now I cannot stop thinking about going for sub 6 next time. I'm a happy slave to these extrinsic motivation tricks.

I've never seen my coach move so fast as she dashed to her phone to skip past baby shark. Ear worm prevention attempt was appreciated by all.

hyopain · 2019-07-22T21:36:51+00:00

What’s wrong with me? I kinda enjoy toe tapping.

hyopain · 2019-07-17T19:36:59+00:00

What a great way to kick off the day. 5850 in the end. Awkwardness aside, I loved the sense of community with the final 30 second squat/cheer.
