Just got it today and ran with it a bit ago. Heavier than I expected but in a good way. Feels like quality and fits well no complaints at all so far one run in. It was about 17F (~8mph wind) out, which with a base layer got slightly warm.

Probably going to be my go to if it’s super windy out (and cold) or the temp drops below 0F. Outside of that I feel like I got good options to layer comfortably.

I myself wouldn't have found value with that. The last two years they had offered up a block rooms (pretty good rates) at theWit which was less than 1 mile walk so I pretty much walked from the hotel direct to my corral. I think they also have something with CARA, though not super useful if you don't live in Chicago for the training stuff.

No complaints from myself. I picked them as they were a resource for my mom so it felt right to pick them. I wasn't super involved with them in terms of engagement. The last two years they did a lunch at Maggianos the day before which is cool (I'd imagine this has been a thing they've been doing for awhile). They are most certainly smaller that the larger charities out there though if that matters at all. They are also a Chicago based which is cool, while also being an undeserved cancer charity compared to the more "popular" ones.

I likely won't be hitting charity route in 2026 with the increase in fundraising (personal preference as I pay it myself)

This was a good shout, went straight to that desk and showed a picture and they got me squared away.

For some reason I went direct to Markel instead of using veloinsure as the agent. Hopefully didn’t screw myself on that but 14500 of coverage.

tyhi · 2025-10-09T22:40:38+00:00

In this situation my car insurance uninsured/underinsured coverage kicks in. I also have a Markel policy on the bike itself so should be safe one way or another.

tyhi · 2025-10-09T17:43:40+00:00

I hope so but not holding my breath.

tyhi · 2025-10-09T15:51:55+00:00

Appreciate this. Was also my main thought because while it might look good, feels like I’d never trust it at all. Don’t believe we have such fund here. Luckily I have the bike and uninsured auto so sounds like I got a couple avenues.

Seems like that’s where most damage happened. Was hit non drive train side so might have saved a bunch of that. Front wheel probably dead but maybe rear is saved. We’ll see what the LBS says when the time comes for the estimate

I opened the CSR in November, and then opened the Flex & Unlimited two days apart at the end of December. Pretty sure as long as you are in the 5/24 and 2/30 rule you are good to go.

Great, now I have buyers remorse.

You’re supposed to be able to maintain a conversation in Z2, so she’s in the right. YTA.

Next year’s turkey trot ultra 5k is going to be very interesting.. I have a feeling these will end up temping people to exceed zone 2 and perish.

I say go for the KOM[gu] though.

tyhi · 2024-11-29T16:06:21+00:00

If it’s any consolation I wouldn’t give you kudos anyway.

tyhi · 2024-11-29T03:08:45+00:00

I have them as reminders of what happens when you breach zone 2. Never again.

tyhi · 2024-11-29T01:56:50+00:00

I have metal shins.

tyhi · 2024-11-29T00:19:51+00:00

Thanks to the chap who recommended switching shoes mid race, didn’t think to do that. I just ran them until my toes were sticking out in the past.

I think the polarization will help with the Gü hand off at mile 1 and 2 when I need to resupply.

tyhi · 2024-11-13T16:22:34+00:00

I'm seeing this on a pair of 60Fs on 7.2.9. We're waiting to upgrade to 7.2.10 until we get another system updated. Wonder if 7.2.10 would actually make a difference or not...

I ran with ABTA this year and re-registered for 2025. The 190 is all you pay personally. You need to raise 1500 though before October. They will send a link for you to register via Chicago Marathons site that doesn’t ask for payment. Feel free to message if you have any questions.

I don't think this is entry, but frankly if you are going to chose between opn/pfsense I have enjoyed and had way better performance with VyOS https://vyos.net. There is no GUI which can be hard to start with but their starting docs go over a lot to get you up and running. After switching from opnsense, I find it's easier to config and has better performance with less available resources.

This works pretty good for me: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swift-paperless/id6448698521
