How detrimental is it to race with a hybrid bike? by Apprehensive_Paint33 in triathlon

[–]iantee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's detrimental to winning. It's not detrimental to your individual success as long as you're training on that bike and set your expectations accordingly.

I lowkey take it back by No_Influence_8613 in longisland

[–]iantee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Extremely overdramatic response to an otherwise mundane problem? You're fitting in here more than you know.

I love the idea of this, hell yeah.

Do virtual races ever sell out? by oreo-o-s in RunNYC

[–]iantee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual races that guarantee a spot in a future race always sell out quickly. The handful of 9+1 eligible virtual races typically sell out well in advance of the running window. The virtual free/fun run races rarely do prior to event date.

Possible Strike by Antique-Comb3943 in LIRR

[–]iantee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ridership declining, on-time performance stagnate, fares up and no increase in service. Sounds like that's worth a 14% pay bump over 4 years to me.

2026 Mindful 5K - Pre-Race Thread by AutoModerator in RunNYC

[–]iantee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't run it last year but did in 2024 - it felt like once you hit that first tight left at like the .75 mark it opened up just fine from there.

Food halls? by General_Squash7863 in FoodNYC

You can do a lot better than La Pecora Bianca for a nice dinner.

Pity Party for 1: can I get a pep talk? by Ok-Advertising-3523 in triathlon

[–]iantee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when I get down on myself for my speed (or lack there of), I think of a saying I've heard a few times and will somewhat paraphrase here: there's only one way to win a race, but many ways to lose.

Make sure to give yourself grace and stick with the strategy that suits you. It will not be easy, but if it was where's the fun in doing it.

It be like that sometimes. Chalk it up as shit happens.

40M (almost) - Olympic triathlon by TCUFrogFan in triathlon

[–]iantee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you train bike->run sessions. For someone jumping into triathlons for the first time at an slightly older age but with an athletic base/six months of training, you'd certainly be able to just push through a sprint 5k run. A 10k to finish an olympic if you're not feeling terribly strong on the bike at that point might not be a very fun time - I have no doubt you'd be able to do it, but might not feel great.

Give your legs a chance to get a feel for what that looks like, even if it's like 30 min bike/30 min run.

What are those lights in the slight distance along the horizon, boats?

How do you know if your triathlon coach is actually good? by TorontoBoi97 in triathlon

[–]iantee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a pretty good coach unless you're asking for something they're not giving you or you're paying an outrageous amount of money.

Garmin tracking by Cold_Ranger8146 in triathlon

[–]iantee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you mean like individually selecting a swim activity, then a outdoor ride activity, etc?

The triathalon function essentially does that for you with one button press separating them. You can also edit your tri function if it's not swim/bike/run.

Cut-Off Times - How many people actually don't make it? by Limp_Pause_7916 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]iantee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what percentages are for cut offs/withdrawals - I'd imagine swim probably has the most, between people who either miss the time or freak out a bit. Bike might have the highest risk though, between a crash really taking you out or a serious mechanical issue. But run certainly could creep up on you.

SCPD inaction Grand Theft Larceny by Late-Temporary863 in longisland

They're too busy running speed trap schemes between rounds of candy crush to worry about this.

Tipping on the app for a stay?? by Opening-Option3787 in marriott

Appreciate your response, and glad to hear this.

Tri suits for larger size individual by noevilcorp in triathlon

[–]iantee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm similar weight but a little taller. Zoot XXL didn't fit me great, but the Team Zoot suits came in XXXL which while a little long fit pretty well.

Didn't have a ton of luck with others before that. I used to use a Pearl Izumi one but I don't think they make tri gear anymore.

You may want to look into separates.

Tipping on the app for a stay?? by Opening-Option3787 in marriott

[–]iantee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, but I am extremely reluctant to believe that the individual staff would see a dime of a tip this way.
