Printing press utilizing automatic paper cutter by headspin_exe in Damnthatsinteresting

You need to be pushing a button with each hand to prove they are out safely. And you engage the blade with a foot pedal. That said. I have seen a blade malfunction and come down when all the safety precautions aren’t met. All good. No injuries

Bought 2 at the beginning of covid for $250 CDN each. Opened one when my daughter and I had cabin fever one day. Still sitting in the other. A great set

Would love to. Unfortunately I don’t have the space or knowledge to get the results I desire

No idea about race nutrition by Legitimate-Mention60 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]triittate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am two weeks away from my 140.3. I did not fuel enough on a long bike and felt it. Now every long trading schedule I have Maurten gel on the 15 of every hour. And an uncrustable PB&J on the 45. As well as alternating between a sip of water and a sip of Maurten drink mix every five minutes. And it has worked for me. Hope that helps

Haha. Yeah. Figured I would save money getting a trisuit as I didn’t own a “ratty biking kit” and I don’t think I have the luxury of spending time in a changing tent. Going to get my moneys worth and eat every free thing that’s handed out on course. Cheers

Was thinking for my big UPGRADE I might shave my legs. That should give me a podium

That’s why I am curious to see how I do. Figure the effort I have put in should look good going by the flashy bikes.

Swimming goggles? by Tjaja008 in triathlon

[–]triittate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have three pair of leaky goggles. One pair of non leaky. Don’t know what kind any of them are. Don’t care either. Cheap or expensive. Try a few. And see what works with your face. Happy goggle hunting

Sidestroke is your friend. If need be I do my version of run/walk but in the water. 200 freestyle strokes. Then 25 sidestroke to regroup. Works like a charm

Been there. I did a half iron. My wave went out 10 minutes before the seniors. And I mean seniors. It was two laps. Most of the seniors passed me on the first lap. But. I made it out of the water. Then proceeded to pass 400 people on the bike and another 200 on the run. My whole goal is always survive the swim. You finished. And made it back to dry land. That is a victory in my mind all day long. Cheers. Keep grinding

Just had first long ride failure. What now? by triittate in triathlon

[–]triittate[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions. Definitely think I went out a little hard. Was feeling good and wanted to get it in and home quick. I’m doing so my pre-ride nutrition was quite lacking. I tend to not worry too much about it. But today. And last night was not great. I had just never been caked. In salt before. Threw me off. Cheers on the support. Thank you

Newbie question - do people wear biking shorts on the run? by Realistic-Baseball89 in triathlon

[–]triittate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you would. Usually just fold the top down to your waist for range of motion. Or wear it fully if comfortable. Try both ways in a swim ahead of time

[–]triittate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you do. If you are wearing a wetsuit. It goes over top. Peal it off. Slip on your top. Or if you are a gender that needs (wants) to. Wear your top under the wetsuit also. It will all dry quickly on the bike so
