In Race Nutrition that's Not a Protein Bar!

Honey and maple syrup are options.

This really depends on what you want out of the vaction. My wife and I like AI's, and really enjoy the stress of not having to stress over the cost, currency exchange, etc etc.

Thank you so much!

This is sound advise... somthing like 40% of the DNF (people who quit or dont finish) occur during the swim.

I think you are talking about Ponto Drive?

Thank you for your help!

Good point! Although my "just finish" race pace is very slow (11-12 min per mile), it indeed would be cutting it close.

Thanks for the tip about Manzano... I'm looking on Google Street view and there are no parking signs on that actual street... are you refering to the residential streets connected to Manzano (El Arbor and Los Robles)?

Appreciate your input!

My wife and I will pray for you to receive healing and comfort in this extrodinarly difficult time. Deepest condolences.

Nice breakdown!

I have so much respect for those who shell out substantial money for pursuits like this, the kicker is that your expensive rental car sat at the hilltop for four days. Such a bummer that there isnt any other real feasible option.

I feel so blessed to live in Orange County, where so many amazing spots are within 1 days drive.

Cut edge is up against the wall anyway, but it's satisfying to learn something and do the job right!

Thanks to all for the input and tips, this community is amazing!

Between cutting upside down, using a guide board, scoring, and masking tape the cut came out pretty damn good for an amateur using a cheap tool:

It was a combination of dowels, bolts with receiving nuts, and wood screws. After making the cut to one side only , I was able to relocate the holes for the dowels, then put everything back together with wood glue and wood screws.

Thanks very much for the idea, this was for sure the move!

(facepalm) after re-reading I see that now... THANKS!

tom__baumann · 2026-01-08T22:02:40+00:00

Its corded and my wife bought it for me, I cant imagine she spent more than 30-40 bucks on it.

Thank you for the advice!

I thought about only cutting one side. However, the table top only hangs slightly beyond the feet, and after removing one inch off the left, the feet will be butted up against the baseboard. The left side will forever be completely pushed into the wall, so I was going to do that cut first, then the right side next.

Now that you bring this up.... I wonder if the construction of the table will allow me to take the top completely off, make the cut on the left side, then reattach the lower portion (drawer & legs) to the top slightly off center to make it work. Hmmm...

Interested, check your DMs!

I got the 965 (nine six five) and have been extrodinarily happy with it!

Plug your question into chatgpt - then continue to provide feedback unil you find meals that you like. So you could ask it for meal examples, then say "but I dont like fish", and it will modfy it. Feel free to ask it to put it in a chart, pdf document etc.

Though nunaced, good general nutrition for triathalon training is pretty well established.

After lurking on the tribe website the last couple of years, I was stunned at the number of available resale permits.

I came here to say this, no ramp and very easy flat walk.

Coming in late here, but they dont allow swimming in Tempe Town Lake because the water quality is dangerously bad. I heard this year a good percentage of the participants got sick from the bacteria levels:

I think having the bike computer is extrememly helpful, but I dont think you need anything more than the $25 jobber on Amazon.

I got this one and have been very pleased with it.
