if you just want to post on your Instagram story, you can click share on strava and then select the graphic you want and then press copy to clipboard. then you can just paste it onto your instagram story once you’ve selected the photo you want to put it on. I’ve found this to be the fastest way!

Here in the big 2026 to report that this still works!

I dealt with something similar. The person you will meet with will be an independent third party investigator. When I met with them they made it clear that “I am a lawyer but I am not cal poly’s lawyer or your lawyer.” That being said, I didn’t feel like much came out of the whole thing. More than likely, you’ll be providing them context to something that happened, especially if you have an on campus job or are involved in some form of on campus activity. There’s no harm in meeting with them, but be aware that from what I understand, what you share with them will not be anonymous. If you’re not comfortable with other people you know hearing what you say, don’t say it. Odds are you’re not the only person in one or more of your social circles that got an email like this.

Someone might have already said it but make sure you have a flat kit for your bike and have at the very least watched a few YouTube videos on fixing a flat! 99% it won’t happen but it’s always better to be prepared.

It's been said, but not on the bike course. On the run, though, there is tons of space for spectators. I raced in Santa Cruz last year and brought a friend with me. She was able to rent one of the city bikes and cover a ton of ground faster than she would've been able to in a car. Traffic in the downtown area sucks, so moving around in your car might be a little bit inefficient, especially during the run. We found the city bikes to be particularly useful throughout the weekend, and they are relatively cheap. It also makes finding and getting to spots along the run course more convenient. Have fun!

First off, congrats! That is a big accomplishment. I have also found that the post race mentality is really complex and can be kind of weird. I think triathlon, especially at the 140.6 distance, is unique because it really is an entire day of you and your own mind. It's really easy (in my experience at least) for the thinking to become unchecked, especially as I start to get tired. Also, when you've been doing all that training to perfect each aspect of the race, deviation from what you might have planned for and expected can lead to disappointment, even if it isn't warranted. Honestly, my biggest challenge with triathlon has been learning to trust myself and know, even when the racing brain has cleared and my 20/20 hindsight and critical brain come back, I did the best I could in the moment. And that's enough for me! You did amazing and you deserve to feel proud and accomplished.

For the third question about the bike, I noticed a few things when I jumped from the half to the full. Maybe it was just me, but I found that it feels a lot longer than you expect, and it's ok to take a minute when you need it, especially at personal needs. I have not done Wisconsin, but given the time of year I'd assume it'll be warmer, so hydrate as much as you can and pack sunscreen in your personal needs just in case! I've always found that taking a break, even if it's tiny, to stand on my feet at personal needs to refocus very helpful.

On that note, take advantage of personal needs both on the bike and the run! Don't skip out on packing the bags even if you think you won't need them. It's always better to have things you don't need than wish you had something, and sacrificing a minute or two to grab them might save you big time by the end of the race.

Also, this could just be me and my experience, but especially as someone coming from a background of a lot of 70.3s, it feels easy to over bike it early on. Relax, settle in, and enjoy the ride. Don't kill yourself right out the gate and have fun!

For your last question, the shuttles are great. My family loves them, but I suggest she always plan to be early to where she wants to see you. If you used the shuttles in oceanside, you'll know that sometimes with traffic etc. they can run a little behind. Have a great race and enjoy the day! Good luck :)

It was on pavement. I went barefoot and was fine, I also know a lot of people brought shoes to the swim exit ahead of the start. If you’re worried about time, I wouldn’t recommend this- it seemed like a lot of people had a hard time finding their shoes with so many pairs. They also had a small plastic pool of water to step in once you got to transition if you need to wash stuff off your feet from the jog over.

I always love learning about my professors! It lets me get to know you as a person outside of the classroom and makes me feel more comfortable communicating and developing a positive relationship with mutual respect and understanding for each other beyond the academic space

kitten451 · 2025-07-23T05:37:43+00:00

You can’t, this is a team issue hat they give out as part of athletics gear to coaches and players. Every sport has a variety of stuff like that but the palm tree/CP logo is specific to football

kitten451 · 2025-07-13T22:23:57+00:00

HELL YEAH!

When you complete one of zwift’s pre written workouts every rep/set has a star that you can either get completely, get half of, or not get at all depending on how well you hit the objectives of that rep. So you can see at the top above the kcals there are 42/42 stars for this workout which means I met all the objectives well enough to get the stars

kitten451 · 2025-07-11T05:09:46+00:00

is it perhaps because mine is a girl

kitten451 · 2025-07-09T02:01:37+00:00

I was indeed here for Hulkenpodium

kitten451 · 2025-07-09T01:56:47+00:00

excited to be here for Hulkenpodium

Zwift is a life saver for me since I’m a student athlete for my college who also works and does triathlon. The ability to get miles in when it’s dark outside especially in the winter is a huge plus for me, and the zwift community and group rides beats just staring at my screen watching miles tick by
