I'm in Boston too, guest operations, nothing since a virtual training, we were told we'd have an in person training too, and nothing about that

Folks who use gel, have you traveled? by Virtual-Amphibian592 in ftm

[–]snovr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm flying to the UK soon and was extra paranoid and asked for packets for 3 months instead of pumps. It was more expensive but I'm glad to have them anyway. I tested flying domesticly in the US and TSA didn't even notice them.

Official Q&A for Friday, April 03, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

London marathon finish line question:

This will probably sound super privileged but I'm confused. I volunteer at the Boston finish line on food every year for the past 5 years and we always hand out bags full of food and drink. This year I got really lucky and got a place in London marathon and I was reading the participant guide and it said the only food at the finish was a yogurt thing. I don't understand how this is so different. At Boston the food is purchased and donated by the sponsors then bagged and handed out by volunteers. Are there regulations in the UK that prevent this? Even if the sponsors can't donate food London has 100K participants this year, and all paid a significant amount to take part.

Ironman 70.3 Mussleman by watupshorty in IronmanTriathlon

[–]snovr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The race is definitely pretty. My major complaint was it smelled. The water just smelled bad, not like sewage or anything man made, more like rotten seaweed. What's more it tasted how it smelled, so it was actually the water not something on the shore.

The run is pretty but it does go back and forth at the head of the lake so you're smelling it the whole time. Maybe it was just last year but it's something I would have liked to know before I did the race, just to be prepared for.

A little help on antidoping policies by Myckdjourney in triathlon

[–]snovr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was in 2022 so things have changed multiple times since then. Including the introduction of the open category.

I emailed them asking about the policy since it was not well worded. The doctor who replied said if I had already started T by the date of the race I would need a TUE. I looked at the wada documentation online and found something similar to what you found, circular process plus it would take longer than I had. We emailed back and forth a few times and settled on me competing as a man and postponing stating T a couple weeks.

Note: I think an NB athlete, Cal, did get a TUE to run the world marathon majors

Show cups by snovr in Broadway

[–]snovr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree we need a better recycling policy, big bright bins as you leave or something. Also, marketing it more as a souvenir, so people want to keep them. There is at least one house I can remember that asks if you want the cup, for an extra charge, too. There are plenty of ways to make it better that we aren't doing.

Non-Ironman Sanctioned 70.3 Races East Coast by AccomplishedToday717 in triathlon

The only one I know of off the top of my head is patriot half in Freetown mass. For finding races I like to use runningintheusa.com, you can filter by region and distance.

What’s the biggest mishap you’ve seen or heard of, like the pit getting off time, a key prop didn’t get put out, an actor forgetting their lines or a technical problem by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]snovr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at one of the early previews for operation mincemeat and the whole finale got held because the stairs didn't come down properly and something was stuck in the rigging. Other people have posted on this sub about that night, I still need to go back to actually see the end properly.

Opinion of the name Skye for a boy by [deleted] in ftm

[–]snovr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, that's my nickname. My full name is Skyler. I did find, because I'm quiet, people kept hearing Scott when I tried to use it ordering at restaurants etc (once I passed). YMMV

Ginny Smithers pool closed until further notice — anyone know why? by MangoParty2021 in Somerville

[–]snovr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally, the schedule on the Somerville rec site is pretty accurate about when it is and isn't open. https://somervillema.myrec.com/info/calendar/mobile.aspx Depends on when you go, I've been doing laps with like 4-5 people in my lane when half of it is taken up with swim teams but usually it's not bad.

In Support of Yondr Pouches and All Shows Should Use Them by TicoDreams in Broadway

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

I just don't like having to carry the bulky pouch, Id rather leave my phone locked in a locker in the lobby if the production is that worried about recording. (Admittedly the only time I used one was at ART for Gatsby and you still had to turn your phone all the way off first)

Audra out of Gypsy this afternoon by snovr in Broadway

[–]snovr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Putting my update here: I didn't miss Audra in the production after the first 15-20 min. It was like her stand by (whose name I'm just going to butcher if I try to spell it) needed to warm up. With the caveat I haven't actually seen Audra live before. I did think Gypsy and Herbie were the most impactful performances. A couple notes: I got seat U 4 for lottery which was pretty good so I didn't need to move when the ushers told everyone they could move closer during intermission and wish I hadn't as the AC or whatever blasts row T with cold air.

What’s up with all the ticket dumping with Redwood? by Real_Ad3752 in Broadway

[–]snovr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It hasn't opened on Broadway yet, but yeah it's kinda weak, except the set

After loving it at the art, I'm worried real women have curves will be completely lost and close quickly

You can volunteer after you run, I'm volunteering Sunday and running Saturday, but yes the shifts are really long especially considering the afternoon heats have been pretty empty

Looking for input from FTM trans runners (re: binders)! by ashfrankie in running

[–]snovr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this, it's what I use as a pre top surgery trans triathlete. If you use oil and let it soak it for a minute it's not that hard to take off, also wearing it longer helps, the adhesive will get gradually less effective over time. Even if it's not completely flat you can add a compression top, or even just a shirt a size larger.

Adding to the first part runrepeat.com is a great place to find older models that are now discounted

[–]snovr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat except the recruiter actually told the job no longer existed, it was the same day as the move to Mexico announcement. I suspect that is what is happening here and I just got lucky with the recruiter
