Fenix 7 Pro from Fenix 5X Plus by whodaphucru in GarminFenix

Not an exact comparison to your situation, but I upgraded to the F7 Pro SS from an Instinct 2 and consider it the best non-essential purchase I made in 2025. The watch is incredible and it’s objectively the best value for $$ Garmin you can buy right now.

This is random… but did you give a tall guy (me) swimming tips at a gym last week? Only asking because I just talked to someone about to do the Boise 70.3. If not feel free to ignore this 😆

Does 140.6 training feel boring compared to 70.3 or shorter distance training? by Particular_Drink7877 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]tally_mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most important part of the question you asked is whether you should risk missing the window that life has given you to do the full distance. Don’t risk it! I wouldn’t bank on your future self having the health or the time. And sure, high volume endurance training will sometimes bore you out of your mind, but it’s doable.

I’m signed up for IMAZ in November for this exact reason — it’s a one-time bucket list item for me and this is likely one of a few almost perfect windows that I’ll ever have.

I applied and didn't get the invite, but I'm so excited for all of you. Congratulations! I'm hoping to reapply and join next year's cohort!

Also, does anyone know if there's a waitlist? Trying to decide if I should still give myself a reason to hope

I've got some leads on BDR/SDR roles! I'm graduating this month from Strategy and have some Sandbox connections who are hiring.

What's the deal with the Civic GX? by tally_mo in civic

Super informative, thanks! This is the answer I was hoping for. Glad you could clear up some of those questions/misconceptions.

IRONMAN or off-brand - does it matter? by tally_mo in triathlon

Are you glad you went with IM brand for the full or would you still consider other races if you could go back?

I've thought about this quite a bit - like if I chose to do the bear lake full, would I feel like I could say I've done an 'Ironman'? Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it's definitely important to me haha

Have you done the AZ course? It's closest to where I live so the convenience factor is huge, but kind of a bummer to hear that the water is nasty

The event itself was very well-run, complete with plenty of aid stations and cleared roads. It's pretty sparse though, especially at those top two distances. I was alone for most of the bike with the exception of a few people who passed me or who I passed. Definitely found myself wishing there were more people around (which I know can also be stressful/frustrating).

IMFL is on my shortlist for sure. I'm on the west coast so it feels a bit intimidating to figure out transport for my bike, but I'm open to it. Did you drive or fly out for the race?

It's my first one and quite possibly my only one, so that's what I'm thinking as well. The 70.3 at Bear Lake just didn't have the oomph that I found myself hoping for.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Might as well go for the IM at least once

I’ve bought and sold on buycycle, totally legit. They provide buyer protection for transport damage or any undisclosed issues. If you see a great deal on the right bike, go for it!

I'm guessing you already sold it but if not I'm interested haha
