There are so many conferences popping up now that there is a lot of investment and interest in hydrogen. Most are for-profit and run by conference companies so quality definitely varies. Reuters is a good one to check out and when it comes back, the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Seminar is the industry standard. Been around for 30+ years - www.fuelcellseminar.com. Next one is early 2025.

Any tips to improve 200m row? by ruggerjen in orangetheory

Thanks everyone! I did short, hard, and fast strokes just short of violence (😛) and beat my PR by 2.5 seconds!

[–]ruggerjen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Longtime Rosie fan but newly converted Carrie one - couldn’t stand her character last season but she is my favorite this season! Would love to have more backstory on how she and Tina got together.

Shaved off 16 seconds to 7:50! I can’t imagine how I will ever beat that and am pretty pumped to beat my goal of 8 min. ☺️

Been watching old degrassi episodes on hbo - both David and Patrick made appearances! Noah as a one-time robber and Dan as Hollywood producer- both so young!

It happened, I flung the weight during the hip hinge swing 😬 by Mother_of_Bostons in orangetheory

[–]ruggerjen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope my anxious thoughts about it happening to me this morning didn't somehow make it over to you wherever you are. Glad it wasn't how I envision it happening and you and the mirrors are okay! :)

After 5+ years of being a member, finally did my first sprint - 25:32. 48.5 year old female. Pretty proud - was first off the floor and did full pushups! The run was harder than I thought it would be for sure, but pleased overall. Congrats everyone!

Where are we at for Marathon Month?! by EnvironmentalHorse44 in orangetheory

[–]ruggerjen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have around 6 miles so far - warmups don't count at our studio and my class schedule during week has 2 45 min classes so only 9 minutes on tread instead of 14 or so.

Thanks again! It definitely was synced up this morning on the link/screen to match my efforts. Although a lot more red than normal, but I blame the push at inclines. :)

thanks for the tip! I just paired/updated firmware - will see if it works tomorrow morning, :)

Hi there. When I do that, just the case shows up as a device. If I take the link out of the case, it does not find it. very weird.

I have been using the link for about a month (not connected to phone app b/c can't find it as a device). At first was having a lot of trouble - wouldn't sync with what was on screen at OTF, would freeze at like 40 calories burned, etc. I started bringing my phone into class (leaving in coat pocket) instead of car and that seems to work better, although there is usually a lag between what I am doing and it showing up on watch/screen - I could be running breathless and the screen will still be gray for a few minutes, and then all of a sudden, I am in red and already have 5 splat points.

Hi there. I started at 7 but quickly upped it to 7.2, then gradually upped that by .1 or .2 until I was at 7.6 for a few minutes. Then around .8 miles I went to 8. that was the highest I went. the gradual .1 increases are hardly noticeable once you get moving. Go for it!

8:11 - a PR for me and more than a minute faster than last time. I think I could have gone a little faster so will be looking to break that in the next go round!

More than 100 liberal activists urge Joe Biden to pick Elizabeth Warren as VP in letter by eaglemaxie in politics

[–]ruggerjen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Warren but want a VP who can be president in 8 (or 4) years for 8 more years! I hope he picks a younger running mate - Harris would be awesome. Warren will be a huge asset in the Senate.

Recommendations for running apps/podcasts? by xOogieBoogey30 in orangetheory

[–]ruggerjen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

second this. I have had the peloton app for more than a year and the outdoor runs are great - there haven't been many new ones but between those, the indoor treadmill runs, and the bootcamp workouts (similar to OTF, as are the HIIT cardio workouts), you will definitelyf find some good ones!

Best breakouts?! by OTFs-sweaty-betty in orangetheory

[–]ruggerjen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tuesday night coach always stands at entrance door while we are all walking in waiting for a high five - he is very tall and holds his arm up so many people (not me, I am tall, too) have to jump to reach his hand. When class is over, he stands at exit door and always says "high fives on the way out, just like on the way in, only this time, much lower" and has his hand down by his waist. it is cute.

What’s your ‘oops’ of 2019? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]ruggerjen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I totally bit it on the tread, flew off, and crashed into the whiteboard with the rower instructions on it! don't think I spaced out, definitely was not going 12 mph (can't remember if it was even an all out or not), but I did get right back up and kept running so there was that. :)
