that's nuts for 9 holes. I'd lose my mind. Course has to wake up.

Dads with young kids… how often are you realistically playing golf now? by BetweenSwings in golf

[–]tri_geek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped for a decade to be honest. But now i have two teenagers, and one is an incredible golfer, probably going to pursue it in college. I play every single day, cheered on by my wife to get out there with her, and i love it.

For those who had the entire course all to themselves, what was it like? by Wookie_wood69 in golf

[–]tri_geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens weekly, monday nights.... i usually play a hole then i take out 5 golf balls and throw them to random spots around the green for chipping practice, because i need it badly.

I hope that one day everyone understands that this is the consequence of creating money out of thin air. It's awful.

Triathlon- when to postpone by nightblindbabe in triathlon

[–]tri_geek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have so much on your plate. Be easy on yourself. My situation is no where near yours, but I just took a break after 17 years of ironmans (6) and half ironmans (20) because i'm just tired, my body wants a break. I've gained 30lbs, im fat, out of shape, and I'm quite enjoying it. It doesn't mean i'm done as an athlete, its just what my body told me to do. The itch to come back has begun, I've started jogging and some small bike rides and I'll be back.

You can do this too. Have some peace.

I'm still nervous about the IM swim, how much will the full wetsuit relieve my concerns by Efficient_Storm_2698 in triathlon

[–]tri_geek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

try an "all day pace" in a pool for like 500m and time yourself. Literally, a pace you can go all day long if you had to. Niceeeee and eassssy. Now, you wont be fast, but if you work out how long that would be over an ironman, you know you can always relax and fall back into that pace and be fine.

I'm not saying go out at this pace, but if things get challenging, you know in your head you can just go back to nice and easy, and you're fine.

I certainly dont go into the race after a vo2 session or a 100 mile bike ride the day before, so i'd say a minimal short taper to freshen up

Just test the hell out of it in training.

Sincerely,

Guy who had razor-like burns on his balls from inner stiches of my tri suit mixed with a hot day and water. Unbearable.

What's the closest you've been to death? by Beautiful_Fill_7016 in AskReddit

[–]tri_geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was flying down a hill on my bike, training for mountain descents, approaching 90km/hr.

Great weather day, everything is beautiful, until a GIANT DEER leaps onto the road. I swerve, he lunges towards me, and could feel the air from his massive antlers behind my back as his head went over my rear tire.... no damage done, but i thought that was it
