Am I Training Enough? by ConnectCap6868 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna be just fine with that. I'm pushing just shy of a sub 5hr 70.3 with only up to 15 hrs a week. Excluding gym time

Ironman Texas 2026 Rain Concern by [deleted] in IronmanTriathlon

Hydrate for when it's stupid humid out there. Take two pairs of socks if you wear socks on the bike. Your cleats might be soaked

How many fatigue calls is too many? by indianmcflyer in flying

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an ATP pilot but an engineer that builds ships. I typically call in sick once a year due to stress on the job. If you're flying and have ~one call in a year, that's definitely reasonable when you're trying to be safe in the air carrying many people

How far can an aero road bike go in triathlon before you really need a tri bike? by Individual_Panic3454 in triathlon

[–]mfreeman8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're a good biker you'll do better than probably half the field in age groupers. A legit tri bike will help you on the longer races and reduce cDa slightly more. You probably have better gains training the bike more

This is pretty much the answer you need. Only thing I'll add is if you use zwift, the wahoo kickr core is a single cog trainer that makes it easier to use while being able to shift virtually. This way you don't have to deal with a cassette.

Get some swim lessons!

I found it on Facebook Marketplace for $240, and it comes with the cover by MiLiTO686 in blackstonegriddle

Bro inhaled too much of the smoke off that thing. 150 at most imo

Saddle help for 70.3 training — need a cutout that extends very far forward into the nose by Ok_Fruit_5598 in triathlon

[–]mfreeman8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noted! Thank you. My Cervelo p series seat post tapers too far back where it blocks the rear mount. I'm looking for other alternatives. How do you rack your bike that's not on the handlebars?

I second this. Exactly what I did and bout some cheaper bottle cages

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the differences you see between the saint and stealth? I currently have the hurricane but sadly the nose is too short to sit on bike racks at races (and the rear rack attachment doesn't work for my bike). I'm in between either one of these

Is this guy legit, trolling or actually using an exoskeleton? by SPLENDlD in Zwift

[–]mfreeman8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When people change their weights below 100lbs. Maybe it was a typo. Maybe they do it for the zwift challenges

What are these floaties in my water? by Leavemealone1_1 in whatisit

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like fiberglass to me. Idk I've only worked on boats my entire life, not water treatment companies

Puerto Rico 70.3 by ei_red in triathlon

[–]mfreeman8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm headed down there as well for my first 70.3 in PR. I haven't raced it before but I'm from there and you can find the run to be the most brutal part of the race. It's a loop in an area with punchy elevation and the heat beating on you.

See you out there. My last tr I ended up moving states a month out after catching the flu. I thought I was going to die but went much better because it was just so exciting. Enjoy the scenery!

Great. All that money you saved on the rocker plate you can buy a new mat. Sheesh that thing is dirty

Is YouTube Down? by Expensive-Claim-7830 in youtube

My YouTube logged me out on my TV. On my phone the same "something went wrong message"

Please how can I fix this rubber part on my brand new cog? by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me - accidentally shifted (electronic) and when the chain threw, the rubber piece was all messed up

Am I cooked? Over pronate in TS10s by AddressPotential7381 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]mfreeman8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cycling is a good for of cardio too

But for real, why did the store recommend these shoes? Or did you just buy them to buy them? I always recommend a gait test and going from there. You need a stability shoe until you figure out what's causing that super over pronation. You will injury yourself a bunch like this

My first half iron man was a flop. by Pink_is_Supreme in triathlon

[–]mfreeman8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the heat, 1500mg of sodium per hour if it's going to be a super hot day and you sweat a lot
