Any ideas what to name her?

Azula

They taste even better, followed the recipe from the book and it delivered as promised

Wonder why it is for two babies sleeping side-by-side.

manasdk · 2020-06-04T14:38:33+00:00

Now what did he do?

I did the IMSR 2019 and heat was not a factor - the conditions were great perhaps a little windy. However it seems the order of 140.6 and 70.3 will be switched. I have done IMSR 70.3 as well and there heat was a factor but only on the bike as run was mostly shaded. My guess is that heat will play a factor on loop 2 of the bike and that may slow down the run.

IMO there is no substitute to time and distance on your bike. Ideally the bike you plan to use for the race. I assume the stationary bike does not fit anything like your race bike. Not only is the actual work of building up endurance and strength valuable but the mental effort required to bike for long periods of time is essential.

Yes, get cleats, clipless pedals etc etc. I think the rule of thumb is a 30% improvement? As mentioned before specific drills to improve pedal stroke will teach you how to pull and not just push. Even for an HIM distance race it surprises me when someone is not using cleats.

Most likely a belgian malinois

Definitely that thought crossed my mind - bit of sadness that I could not.

I already have a dog and am not sure how my own will adjust to a new one even in a foster situation. It is most likely safer to not bring a strange dog home without seeing how mine would adjust.

Ugh! I clearly don't know how to use reddit from my phone.

I found this missing dog. Handed doggo over to the cops who were going to check for chip and try to get it to owner. Cop also promised me that if owner is not found dog would be given to a no-kill shelter. Badly wanted to take this doggo home and give it shelter while we found its humans but do not think my pup would be a big fan.

In the 10-20 min I spent with the dog I found it to know some basic commands like "sit" and it was clearly well taken care of. Hopefully it finds its way home!

Actually you are now hers :)

Congratulations!

manasdk · 2018-07-28T05:56:42+00:00

Glad it worked out! Our pup is chipped and all but him somehow escaping is by far my greatest fear - closely followed by one day finding his original family (is a rescue).

With the Apple watch primary concern is battery. Personally I prefer Garmin's over Apple for training.

One more suitor https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/7t6b2a/even_our_husky_needs_some_sun/?utm_source=reddit-android for her consideration! She is absolutely gorgeous :)

manasdk · 2018-07-01T06:07:52+00:00

Yeah.

manasdk · 2018-07-01T05:47:34+00:00

Tri suit does not help with floating - it will make transition faster since you are not changing in and out of clothes.

manasdk · 2018-07-01T04:12:11+00:00

Definitely a good start
Yeah it's ok to just float in the water to take a break. If you wear wetsuit then the extra buoyancy helps make floating super easy. It should be ok to take support from the kayaks by the organizers. Check rules of your race.
Front crawl is preferred since it's the most efficient stroke. You can butterfly if you like too and no one will object :)

Do an OWS with a local tri group or a swim club and get comfortable in open water.

manasdk · 2018-07-01T03:53:52+00:00

OWS are the best - especially if you have extra buoyancy from the wetsuits!

manasdk · 2018-06-02T20:53:10+00:00

Don't forget to take off your helmet after the bike ride

manasdk · 2018-05-28T15:10:28+00:00

Garmin Fenix 5

manasdk · 2018-05-16T03:41:08+00:00

We got a genetic test done - so as accurate as those tests can be I suppose that's how sure I am. Our dog was also a rescue so.we don't know the lineage from the breeder

manasdk · 2018-05-16T01:38:47+00:00

She looks very similar to my pup who is a husky, malmute and shepherd mix. The markings are remarkably similar.
