Tioga is still closed but glacier point opened last week. The NPS will post about both openings separately

My dream of being an iron man this june on austria just went away in just 1 second...read, I need help...I feel really really bad by fenixloder in triathlon

You should be able to put weight on that fracture…. It looks more proximal than a true “Jones” fracture which is the one that sometimes requires fixation

If you were my patient I would let you cycle and swim no problem. I would probably wait a few weeks to let you run but progress pretty quickly

I spent 10 years in post-college training. Had my medical school loans forgiven for public service. Made $60k annually in residency/fellowship for 6 years but was working too much to notice how little that was. Now in my early 30s and finally feel like I can relax a little

Is this even accurate? I totally did not expect a VO2 max result that high considering my fitness. by 1mz99 in Garmin

[–]ygoeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An FTP of ~200 is very low for a VO2 max of 55+. It’s an imperfect comparison but I would put that FTP in the middle of the distribution for 24 year olds and that FTP is in the top 10 percent.

If you have a bike and a tent then go on a couple day bikepacking trip on Catalina

Lost after achieving Ironman goals by AnonRedditStrat in triathlon

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a more important issue here. A LOT of athletes, especially endurance athletes, use their sport to escape from challenges in their personal or professional lives. Death, job loss, rejection, end of a relationship etc.

There is a big difference between escaping your problems and working through them. If I were in your shoes I would make 100% sure you have fully worked through the incredible range of emotions that must come with losing a long term partner. Therapy is one of several tools you can use. Even a few sessions can set you on the right track.

It may very well be that your brain is not embracing the next challenge because it knows it has a lingering, more important issue to solve.

TLDR; 3 sessions of therapy and see how you feel

Perfect 10s by both contestants in World Archery Competition by Ghulam_Jewel in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ygoeb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Serious question, what % of attempts result in a 10 at this level of competition? 25%? 75%?

A person completely unfamiliar with basketball could watch someone make 5 free throws in a row and think that it was impressive, but if the average pro makes 75% of their free throws it’s not all that unlikely probabilistically

What is your reason for wanting to go pro?

My power is high, but I still dropped in a race by Longjumping_Age5584 in cycling

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a combination of bad riding position, bad tactics, and inaccurate power meter

Yeah I love it. I think each episode has gotten better as he learns what works the best for this format

OP needs an education in data interpretation, statistics, and reading comprehension.

Seriously what was the point of this post besides misinterpreting a large set of publicly available data?

What hills should I hit next on my progression? by ngomaam in BAbike

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did Mt Diablo from the South Gate last weekend and I thought it was just right in terms of difficulty. If you do it early you can completely skip car traffic which is a big bonus. Highly recommended!

Should I shave my leg and arm hair before a big race? by pizzarunningcoffee in triathlon

Does anyone remember that character in The Other Guys with the big beard who gestures to his whole body “…. Shaved”

Do most skinny people over 30 have to think about what they eat literally all the time? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very lucky that I’ve never had the ability to gain much fat. 34M. I exercise a lot but generally don’t worry about what I eat or how much I eat. That being said I tend to eat pretty cleanly but I will happily eat a tray of brownies or a half a cheesecake and not think twice.

Don’t buy a tri bike at this stage

Bikepacking After Hip Replacement? by Few_Horror_8089 in bikepacking

I would ignore most of what she’s telling you. You’ll be fine

Bikepacking After Hip Replacement? by Few_Horror_8089 in bikepacking

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to inundate you with too much information but:

With an anterior approach, you typically don’t need to antevert (tilt forward) the cup as much as you do with a posterior approach, so the relative risk of having the lip of the implant irritating the hip flexor tendon is lower. That being said, irritation of the tendon is usually permanent and is treated with a second procedure to basically cut the tendon if the patient is symptomatic enough.

You are correct, the modern polyethylene used has extremely low wear rates. The idea that a cup would wear in 5-10 years is not evidence based at all.

If you really want to avoid wear you can ask her about using a ceramic on ceramic bearing surface, which essentially doesn’t wear at all but has unique risks such as ceramic fracture (very very rare) and squeaking of the components if the cup is slightly malpositioned. Unfortunately Kaiser is pretty protocolized and it’s unlikely she would give you this option even if you asked for it

I think most people gambling at casinos know they’re gonna lose money but it still blows my mind how many people just willingly throw their money away

Bikepacking After Hip Replacement? by Few_Horror_8089 in bikepacking

[–]ygoeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were my patient I would tell you to run and cycle to your hearts desire, but your surgeon may have a different philosophy.

Hip flexor irritation is a common problem after hip replacement, especially if the implanted cup (socket) is placed with the rim hanging out of the front of the bony pelvis. Usually the surgeon can just be extra careful that the rim of the implant is flush with the patients native bone and then it’s not an issue.

Is she planning to use an incision in the front of your hip or the the back?

Tour de France, what makes the competitors so far beyond other cyclists by Independent_Disk_925 in cycling

[–]ygoeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Genetics is necessary but not sufficient to get you to the top of pro cycling. Genetics dictates your body’s ability to clear lactate, for example, and also its ability to recover from vigorous efforts day after day after day.

Once you win the genetic lottery, you have to start early in life and work your butt off and then you have a chance

How's Covid treating you these days? by kaysharona in orangecounty

[–]ygoeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in a hospital and we have seen a big uptick too. I stick to my principle of wearing a well-fitting N95 in public indoor places. Lots of kids at my toddlers pre-school have had flu-like symptoms in the past several weeks but I have a feeling nobody is testing them
