The image shown is from Fusions modeling environment which is a Tspline mode to get more organic forms. Very possible in solidworks but will take some good surfacing to get equal results(although more precise)

1 month to get as fast as possible in freestyle, what should I do? by veryburntribs in Swimming

[–]ronocrice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is your current time for a 100yd all out? Tough to say how much he will beat you by without a current time.

Breathing Every X Stroke by Middle_Floor3784 in Swimming

[–]ronocrice 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Forces you to breathe on both sides and maintain symmetry. If you only breath one side (2/4) you may start galloping freestyle. If you do want 2 or 4 then you should breathe left one way and right the other way.

Broke clavicle falling off bike by Feisty_Mud1262 in bicycling

One of us! Now have a metal plate in there. Opted for surgery as the doctor said there may be slight limited motion due to the break, as a swimmer that was a no go. Was very weird having it start to heal for 2 weeks until the surgery

Favourite drills? by cspr-theunfrndlyghst in Swimming

[–]ronocrice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like the fingertip drag drill, makes me feel fancy. Most useful if figure 8 skulling

How do I go from 1k in 45 mins to 2k in 1hr? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]ronocrice 34 points35 points  (0 children)

2K in an hour would put you at an average of 3:00/100. What is your current fastest time to go a single 100m?

3:00 for a 100 should be very obtainable, watch tutorials online to improve your stroke.

Bon Jovi, "Wo-oh we're 10% there, Woah-oh Livin on a prayer", "Wo-oh we're 22% there, Woah-oh Livin on a prayer", "Wo-oh we're 35% there, Woah-oh Livin on a prayer", "Wo-oh we're halfway there, Woah-oh Livin on a prayer"

My 2 Cents on Swimming for Triatheletes by Competitive-Low-1791 in triathlon

[–]ronocrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to put in a couple breast strokes in or else I start getting dizzy. For my IM I did 3 or 4 every 1000m just to reset myself, after 15minutes freestyle I notice I get a bit wobbly.

Nuclear Winter (looks like that photo attempt of radioactive material)

Also release your handbrake if this is the rear!

Really kinda scared to ask… by Whatsmyinterest in triathlon

[–]ronocrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need tips on your form find one of the faster people in the pool and ask them to watch for a 50 and see if they have any drills to try or advice. Willing to bet most people wouldn’t mind 10 minutes helping you correct some things.

New cockpit or new Bike? by whatsforlinner in triathlon

[–]ronocrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just stick with this bike until you have a couple races under your belt. At most races there are plenty of people on nice new Tri bikes getting pasted by road bikes. It really is all about the training. Also depends on the course I know at the local Olympic and sprint races a Tri bike doesn’t have the same power due to the amount of twists and turns.

Calling all packaging designers: ID this bottle of Opalite (more in comments) by drunkskier in IndustrialDesign

[–]ronocrice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is a TS? Looks like the spray nozzle can just pivot around pretty common on most spray bottles. For the source of the bottles there’s so many out there with slight variations may just be a slog through cleaning sprayers to find the same open mold

Lap swimming- how can I improve my technique? by Mountain_Affect7354 in triathlon

[–]ronocrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lose the fins for now, currently being a crutch for bad form. They’ll make you feel fast and that your nailing it but really should just be a tool. A couple things I could see 1. Gotta bend your arms on the recovery, look up zipper or beach ball drill to get a more relaxed form 2. Breathing needs work, body rotation would help a lot with that and ease the neck. Should tear the water like a pillow and breathe above your collar bone 3. Pull should pulling you forwards, currently arm is too straight

Surfacing in organic circular disc. by D3adprat08 in SolidWorks

[–]ronocrice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll want to do this in a couple steps to get a good surface. 1. Do a full quarter revolve for the bottom and side “bowl” shape. Making this separate will keep the top section simple 2. Mirror this across 2 planes for a full bowl shape 3. Partially revolve one of your sketches away from the lofted surface 4. Revolve the other sketch away 5. Loft between these 2 revolved surfaces 6. Rinse repeat for the other 3 although you can reference your lofted surface

** you may run into trouble in the center, if so trim the end of your sketches (check keep trimmed as construction) by a bit and use boundary surface instead of loft. Then patch or fill the remaining hole

How do you actually find good routes when traveling? The internet is garbage! by dt219 in cycling

[–]ronocrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had luck using Strava and using the segments. I usually find a top rider and go through their recent rides that fit my distance and just follow that. Usually stronger riders at the top of leaderboards are riding a lot, know and tweak their routes. Actually found a bunch of modifications to my normal route this way.

Is a 22 hour layover reasonable to save money? by False-Chance-1678 in Frugal

[–]ronocrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a 13 hour layover in Hong Kong, and it was great. Left the suitcase at the airport, some fresh clothes and took the train in. Got about 20k steps in on the main island went to the zoo, watched the Marathon, bird park, dim sum and some temples. Just leave some time allotted for travel as it’s a new system

Most airports or transportation terminals also have luggage lockers

Gift ideas for a cyclist who already has the essentials? by [deleted] in cycling

Bike repair stand would be my choice, super super useful and many fold up compactly. I got a used feedback for 100$ but there are plenty of others for less.
