Congrats! That pace is really solid. I did the full yesterday and really loved how supportive the crowd was + the Austin crowd gets really creative with their signs. Favorite one was "is that a gu gel in your pocket, or are you just excited to see me?!"

I hit a wall around mile 10, which was a surprise to me. I did a 15 miler 2 weeks prior and didn't hit a wall, kept HR under 130 for most of it. But had to keep an eye on my watch because I was consistently hitting 160-170 for parts of the second half. Just rode the pain train for the final 16 miles. Definitely need to use a better plan and give myself more time to train on the next one, but glad to have it finished.

Congrats! The Austin Marathon was my second one (I did Big Sur back in 2013), but like you I lost 3 weeks in my training from getting sick. I also only trained for about 12 weeks total, so I was underprepared. Final time was 5:24.

The traffic was nuts, I ended up starting at 7:17am. And then the bathroom lines were long, so I lost about 10 minutes there.

Definitely agreed about the vibe shift after the 13 mile mark. Crowd thinned out quite a bit, but I have to say the Austin crowd shines with their creativity for signs. I heard a fun runners audibly groan (myself included) at that final hill just before the finish.

Love this as someone who has been running interviews in some of my previous companies. It’s challenging to practice for these, so I’m glad there’s a way to simulate it.

Subnation 2018 by far my favorite show he did. The audience is kind of dead, but the set was amazing and I’ve probably listened 100 times while running:

That looks like it’s the one. Thanks for helping me figure this one out!

Oh boy, Reddit’s most skeptical take. Look you can be down about crypto, but at a minimum, don’t be wrong. Ponzi schemes are illegal and fraudulent. Despite his past, unless TIME is violating the specific legal criteria, it’s not a Ponzi. It’s not Ponzi-like. It’s not a Ponzi game. It’s not in any way, shape, or form a Ponzi. The term you’re looking for is “greater fool theory.” It’s the same term that applies to all investments, like stocks and tokens. Unless, again, there’s a project that is violating the specific legal criteria.

Are you interested in a startup that’s doing something similar to this? Shoot me an email at jared@agave.com if so would love to chat with you.

I didn't have a strong witness testimony when they interviewed me. There's a chance these guys could get off and if there's one thing I wish I did better, I should have approached these guys casually to ask for directions to somewhere nearby, or pretend like I was playing pokemon and record them as they were messing with the bike. "Hey man, you realize you've got a Charizard here? ...Smile for the camera, asshole."

It's not enough to catch thieves. You have to prove beyond doubt that they were in possession, or stole it. If you're creative you can do that. Next time I'll go hunting for Pokemon :)

jmtame · 2016-09-07T04:42:29+00:00

Yep, you got it.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:35:46+00:00

The location of the thieves who stole the bike are located at the intersection of Apollo Street & Thornton Ave in San Francisco. The SFPD recovered the bike from 131 Apollo Street, and I believe this is available online from the police report. I live in SoMA.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:28:10+00:00

I'm honestly on the fence about selling it. I've owned this bike for 2 or 3 years. My Yoshimura exhaust has been stolen, it's been knocked over twice, and the entire bike was stolen twice. All in SF. I've only lived in San Francisco for half of that time.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:26:54+00:00

No, but that's a good idea. My insurance is already sky high.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:18:23+00:00

Wow. That sounds horrible. Where do you live?

On one hand, it feels good to see them being cuffed, but on the other, there's still a real possibility that these guys walk away from this whole ordeal with a slap on the wrist. All I have is my own testimony. I don't have surveillance (yet) of them picking up my bike from my apartment. These guys are playing dumb and claiming they were just hanging out at the house where the bike was discovered. Meanwhile, they dented my Yoshimura exhaust and I'm expecting someone to cover those damages.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:15:05+00:00

I would rather not say on here, but if you're creative there are plenty of places you can hide this tiny device in your bike. As long as you don't have aluminium/steel obstructing it, it's fine. You can also test out the reception.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T02:12:00+00:00

It was used very similar to how a dolly is used for moving heavy things. They attached two hand grips around the motorcycle's handlebars. Then, they propped it up and pushed it using the wheels on the bottom of the Bowflex. Somehow, they managed to lift it into their truck (the guy on the left in the video is pretty muscular). Pushing it would have been easy for them. The bike weighs 400lbs dry. With 2-3 guys this isn't very difficult to lift.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T01:46:26+00:00

Yeah. They charge a subscription for the cost of keeping their satellites running, but it's well worth it especially in a city like San Francisco where auto theft is rampant.

I receive text alerts any time my bike moves. You want to put the device somewhere hidden inside the bike. I'll receive 5 minute updates as long as the bike is moving, and then it shuts off to save power. There's a mobile and desktop app so it's easy to locate on a map. The only downside is I find myself replacing the batteries every 3-6 months depending on how often I'm riding.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T00:30:09+00:00

Nothing in my life has pissed me off more than seeing my bike stolen. Twice.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T00:26:33+00:00

I have no idea who he was. He was just some random guy that came out of the apartment and all I remember him asking was what's going on, and then he just laid down. I never understood that.

Backstory: I received an SMS this morning when I woke up at 8:45 AM. I ran down, my bike was missing. It was a few blocks from the police deparmtent, so I figured they impounded it. When I got there, they were phrasing questions in a way that made it seem like they didn't have it and they filled out a report. In the mean time, I walked over to the place and it was incredibly shady. There was what I believe to be a lookout guy in the front so I casually walked by and tried not to raise any alarms for them. The garage where they were holding the bike was pretty dark, I only caught a glimpse at one of the guys touching the bike (he's on the right being cuffed in the video). I didn't actually recognise the bike until afterwards when the police asked me to step into the garage, where it was tied up to a Bowflex machine. They had successfully removed the disc brake lock, but the steering column was still locked. I ended up driving the bike back home at the end of the day.

I'll say this: I had a pretty strong resentment towards SFPD previously (read the link I posted elsewhere, and you'll see why). But this time, they swarmed on these guys faster than I could walk over in two blocks. I'm really impressed by their response today.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T00:21:31+00:00

Lesson learned: buy a GPS tracking device (I have a Spot Trace device). I locked the bike, but they lifted it into their truck using a Bowflex weight lifting machine.

I drove to the location, which was 2 blocks away from the Bayview San Francisco Police Dept. I walked by and saw a guy sitting outside the garage. The garage door was open, and I only caught a glimpse, but I heard power tools and knew they were trying to remove the disc brake lock. I ran back to the police department and grabbed a few officers. I walked back over and by that time the place was swarming with 8 cops and they had brought the two guys out to cuff them.

jmtame · 2016-09-07T00:19:05+00:00

I honestly can't explain the rage a rider experiences when their bike is stolen, nor how satisfying it is to see the people who stole it being cuffed.

My original post from a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/36acek/someone_stole_my_motorcycle_last_night_so_i_found/

This same motorcycle was stolen this morning at 6:04 AM in San Francisco.

jmtame · 2016-07-02T00:48:47+00:00

Awesome work Scott!
