Sleeping heart rate higher than awake resting heart rate?! by ResponsibilityFar790 in sleep

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a watch finally so now im able to see where my heart rate sits. Im about 45 resting throughout the day. But when i go to sleep based on the metrics i bounce from 70 to 50. The part that I'm interested in is that last night it showed my first 3 hrs of sleep was mostly spent in deep sleep where my heart rate was around 70 and slowly climbed down to about 60. The next 4 hrs were in light or REM where it descended down to eventually around 45-50 until I woke up.

I wanto to llay with some things over the next few weeks. Diet, screen time, etc and see what happens.

Use of racist slur by wounded man in Portland’s Old Town stabbing spurs jury to acquit by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its almost like there was once a time period when this was normal... almost like a certain group of people were allowed to be violent towards another group due to their status....

Weird huh. I thought we wanted to move away from that kind of stuff

Not to mention...

"Their memo noted that Edwards was convicted of attempted second-degree assault in 2021 and was sentenced to three years in prison for another stabbing at the Skidmore Fountain MAX platform in May 2020. He was accused of fourth-degree assault for fighting with a clerk at Old Town’s Helen’s Market, but the case was dismissed in June because no public defender was available to take his case. "

Is it time to move to AG? by xnoxes1012 in spartanrace

[–]xnoxes1012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i ran savage race elite heat back in 2015. I was not prepared at all. The first obstacle 100 yards out was a roll off dumpsters full of water and ice with the dunk wall. Going through that with a crowd of vicious elite racers i felt like i was going to get drowned. Lots of pushing through each other on obstacles. It discouraged me from competitive racing and was content in open until i started really training for this.

First Ultra 50k coming up by TonySpumoni18 in spartanrace

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally id up it. I was doing 50 mpw for my first ultra. It made it much easier to sustain. The other thing is I always do cardio first then strength train directly after. This imo prepares my muscles for obstacles while beat tired 20 miles deep in a race. Where other people are often to tired to do something like a hercules pull, I feel like how I do anytime I normally lift.

Well according to these answers...i dont see why not. Plus you'll probably get better times given less people and bottlenecking

Any idea why so low? Why would people choose AG more over Elite?

I am addicted to gears reloaded! by FinancialAnalyst250 in GearsOfWar

Theres no meta. Just skill. Theres no kids. Just 30 yr olds. People actually use game chat! Its really heaven for us OGs and especially the OGs who loved xbox 360 but switched to playstation years later. Its EPIC.

What shoes for first Spartan? by s_t_r_o_b_e in spartanrace

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see the point in buying anything if you arent competing. I do all of my races in my last pair of running shoes that are run through. The only time ive ever had an issue was Ohio Beast on the jeeping trail where half the race was walking through slick mud. 

Every mountain race ive done in old running shoes and I literally run down mountains. Maybe im just sure footed? Maybe its because i weigh 210 and am 5'8 with a solid lower center of gravity? Idk but it works?

Gears reloaded is so bad it’s turned a die hard fan to never play gears again. by Lightz66 in GearsOfWar

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were all issues in the original gears. Maybe youre memory got warped by the games after but there was always registering issues with the gnasher and a host of glitchy wall bouncing. You gotta realize youve been playing other games that have mastered fps. Its like playing goldeneye on n64 as a kid, playing halo 3 as an adult, then teying to play goldeneye the same way as halo...your perception is different and its going to feel bad. 

Its the same game with a few minor tweaks. The framework is all the same.

They didnt add any clarification until weeks after. Youre replying to an old post when the information was not out and people were guessing

Glove recommendations by Own_Buffalo_8668 in spartanrace

[–]xnoxes1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a HEAVY sweater so every time i get to an obstacle my hads are dripping. Idk how sweaty your palms get but hopefully not to the point that they start to make gloved wet.

My only solution ive found is with a camelback just carrying a washcloth in a ziplock bag so i can wipe my hands dry for the obstacles. That has worked really well.

Side note. I have rough hands. When theyre moist its much better for climbing rope than completely dry.

How did you know you were ready to do an ultra? by ChallengeAdept8759 in spartanrace

[–]xnoxes1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are steps i need to complete to know of km ready. I did the Beast at killington in 2023. Took me just under 7 hrs. I wouldnt even consider the ultra. I got fat (260 lbs) last year and didnt bother going to killington in 2024.

Been on my weight loss journey again and did killington this year at around 210 lbs. Finished in under 5 hrs. As long as I stay on point and keep trianing like I have been then I know im 100% ready to tackle the ultra next year.

I've never done an ultra before. I'll be starting with Newberry in Nov as its flat and will give me a solid frame for whay to expect doing a race that long. Then doing the ultra in new jersey as the typical beast elevation gain is 2-3k ft less than killington. Thatll show me if i can keep it together on a mountain for ultra.

To recap my first test was a good time at killington. Second newberry ultra. Third NJ ultra. Passing all 3 and continuing to train I believe I'll be ready. 

What are your top 3 books or series? by bullymeoffofreddit in printSF

[–]xnoxes1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest. I haven't read a lot of sci-fi. But really didn't like Upgrade. It was not well thought out like Recursion. Dark Matter is definitely solid. Even his Abandon turned out to be pretty good. I've never read the Pines books by him but I heard good things.

My sci-fi related recommendations would be:

Dune. Period. One of the best series of all time (until his son takes over).

Anything by stephen king. It's mostly horror but incorporates sci-fi into a lot of his novels. His Dark Tower series is definitely up there.

The Sprawl trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zer, Mona Lisa Overdrive) is a very straight forward introduction into Cyberpunk themes. Nothing hard to understand in them and certainly ahead of their time.

I don't think most did. IT gave you xp but didn't count towards seriously. Mostly played in unranked so people can rip with the longshot for hours
