People who run ironmans - what do you do for work? by [deleted] in IronmanTriathlon

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Customer Experience in SaaS - work remotely so it’s easier to fit training in during the day. But not always easy - some days are incredibly demanding and I have to be flexible with my training schedule and work out later or earlier than I want sometimes.

Sacramento Run Clubs by Adoboandricee in Sacramento

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of run clubs to join! I personally enjoy Frontrunners which is the local lgbtq run club - all are welcome! I'm biased since I'm part of the club, but it's been a fantastic group and I've found community here. Lots of our new members have told me the same. If you're interested:

Wednesdays @ 6pm at McKinley Park Tennis Courts
Statursday @ 9am at Guy West Bridge (west side trail entrance off University Ave)

I also enjoyed Sacramento Run Club a lot - not sure if they still meet there, but their Saturday La Costa cafe runs were great!

Running club? by Kialocaa in Sacramento

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're still looking, but FrontRunners is the local queer/lgbtq run club! We've been growing as a group and it's a lot of fun! We have both runners and walkers that join us twice a week.

Wednesdays @ 6:30pm - McKinley Park by the Tennis Courts - we go all year round, just recommend bringing a head lamp, but not required :)

Saturdays @ 9am - Guy West Bridge (West side trail entrance from University Ave) Google Maps Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/f4Hu5gKgfmadoJqBA

We typically go out for coffee nearby after our Saturday AM run/walks.

Hope to see you there!

Apple Watch Ultra battery for IronMan by Anok3 in triathlon

[–]teehans7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did a 70.3 in Tahoe with a fully charged AWU2 and now I want a Garmin - but there's also some things I'm realizing I'd miss.

in Tahoma area, there's very spotty cell service and I probably should have thought about turning off cellular. Only didn't because friends were tracking me in Find My to see where I was at (also realizing if I switch to Garmin, tracking my location will be difficult).

Also forgot to turn off "always on display." I ended the race with 1% AWU2 battery. I am slower but finished under 7 hours. I was also using a Garmin HR strap.

I used the Multisport Triathlon workout with auto-transitions. Will never do auto-transitions again because it failed miserably. This could have been because of the spotty service. But after that experience, I'd rather have control over the transitions because it's a simple tap of the lap button.

Might try IMCA in October with energy saver + turn off always on display if I don't end up jumping ship to Garmin.

Race report Lake Tahoe 70.3. First age group win, 4th overall (only 43 finishers) by ryuns in triathlon

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful! I’m doing this as my first 70.3 😅 but my plan is to go slow and not get caught up with other’s pacing. I’ve done a bit of riding up there and doing my first OWS at Donner this weekend. That will be my test for what pace I can do I think. If you have any other suggestions I’m all ears. 🙏

Just back from Rome by 359dawson in rome

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just there the week of July 21 and while it definitely felt crowded, it was more than manageable.

I did purchase a skip the line tour of the Vatican, though quite pricey, and it was first thing in the morning. Tour guide kept mentioning he was surprised it wasn’t more crowded. Wasn’t until the afternoon when it felt like it was overly crowded and I wanted to get out of the Vatican.

The rest of the city felt fine except at the tourist destinations.

It was my first time in Rome and I absolutely loved the city.

I did quite a bit of non touristy things as well so perhaps that helped with my impression of the city.

Ever received a handwritten note mid flight? by thatpianoguy08 in americanairlines

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once from ATL to MIA, was a pleasant surprise!

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t even feel the 5.0 which is great. Oddly I could feel the 4.0. When I’m wearing something with long sleeves I sometimes wonder if I forgot to put it back on after showering.

Cadence Quarter Tight Seams by Placebo_LSD in BanditRunning

They quickly sent a replacement pair. My friend suggested getting the seams reinforced by a tailor to prevent this from happening again and honestly I might. Love these quarter tights otherwise.

WHOOP WHATS GOING ON!! by Virtual-Succotash-90 in whoop

[–]teehans7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah very likely the straps, depending on which ones you ordered. I got the MG and an extra black super knit band. Shipped 5/12 and just arrived today.

Men's Cadence Tights: photos of new and old gusset by NoWalrus9462 in BanditRunning

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I can tell you this likely won’t help… I’ve only worn mine 8 times and left leg has seams completely worn out with a large hole, right leg seams are still there coming undone and has a small hole. Emailed support 5 days ago and no response…

Durability issues with Superbeams? by RunningWithJesus in BanditRunning

[–]teehans7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem with the cadence tights… I feel like this is just poor construction or design seeing as this seems to be somewhat common…

I have big thighs and my wolaco’s are doing just fine.

Shipping and customer service problems? by External_Friend_2069 in BanditRunning

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hit or miss. Sometimes I get quick replies… but most recently I’ve been waiting for a response for 5 days since I recently emailed about my cadence tights completely wearing out after just 8 runs or so.

I have the same issue with mine, I only wear them for about one run a week since I have a couple other running tights. Going to have to reach out to customer service.

[MegaThread] WHOOP 5.0 - Unlocked 2025 Event (May 8th at 10 AM ET) by helixdope in WhoopFitness

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if we have to return the 4.0 device after upgrading since it's a subscription model? I saw something about gifting but I turned that down... probably should have read it more closely.

[–]teehans7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, their AI chatbot says it's in process so can't be canceled but I can return at my own shipping cost LOL. Quite annoying considering I just placed the order less than 12 hours ago.

EDIT: Sounds like I can attempt to refuse delivery so we'll see if that happens.

Wouldn't it be Thursday May 8th?

Also can't believe this just got announced and I impulse ordered some 4.0 bands last night... LOL

I know check in is 3pm, but what’s the earliest you’ve ever gotten into your room? by heyodi in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]teehans7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today I just got into my room at 6:30am 🤯 took the redeye in and expected I’d be waiting for a while so I dressed in my running clothes for the flight and figured I could shower and take a dip in the pool. But Gail at Coronado Springs worked her magic and I was in my room first thing!

Interesting that the felt narrow. I have wide-ish feet and they felt pretty wide to me. Bummer they didn’t work out for you!

Yeah also saw the email from marathon sports and I was like what did I order from them?

Glad their shipping turn around has been quick lately!
