    You forgot the banana.

    Thank you very much! First one is always the toughest. One thing that I was extremely pissed at myself for forgetting was my tri belt to pin my bib onto for the run. I figured it was one of those things that all triathlons gave you and just left mine at the house, not thinking I'd need it. I ended up just pinning the bib onto a pair of running shorts and throwing those on when I finished the bike. Definitely won't be forgetting that for Waco. Bike pump was taken though but I agree, it's a whole lot of shit you have to plan out, which I enjoy. If you do Waco this year, please let me know!

    It went pretty well actually, all things considered: 41 minute swim (slowwww), 1.25 hour bike, 50 minute 5k. Total 2:55 which is a lot better than I could have hoped for considering this was my first Olympic and second tri event. Last lap of the bike, the sun came out and it was just sweltering, so humid. First mile of the run was a 7:45 and I had to slow down because I knew I couldn’t sustain that speed through the whole 10k. I’ll be in the pool a lot this summer. I also plan on getting a tri bike for Waco in October. Definitely learned a lot about nutrition while on the bike this event. It was incredibly fun and I’m pretty happy with the experience! Thanks for asking!

    Please elaborate.

    My dad got this stuff prescribed to him and he's been on it for a few months now. He was about 300 lbs before and is now around 275. He's 73 with high BP, type 2 diabetes, etc. He lives about 4 hours away so I only see him about once every 3 weeks or so and I can tell it's working. He has more energy, eats less (when I see him), but still doesn't exercise. For some reason, he's embarrassed about it and hasn't officially told me he's on it (my mom told me he's on it). No real side effects other than some pain at the site of injections.

    The road bike I have right now is too small for me even though it's a 60 cm Trek. I went to a guy in Houston and he told me, based on my build, that I was limited to Cervelo. I'm heading up to the Woodlands in a few months to Bike Lane to speak with them about it.

    I bought a used Kickr off FB marketplace for $600. Can't remember the version but it was barely used and on the newer side. I only needed to replace the cassette on it. I'm planning on getting a new bike within the next few months for Waco 70.3 in October. Right now I'm still on a road bike but plan on a tri bike.

    A lot less time consuming too, right?

    Great job man!

    Can they agree on no ear pieces too?
  11. pearlandhorn
    What exactly has been fixed?
  12. pearlandhorn
    Please do. I’ve switched from running full time to triathlon training. I’ve got an Olympic at the end of May in Austin and I signed up for the 70.3 in Waco in October. Really excited about it. I did the Mt. Charleston Marathon at the beginning of April out in Vegas and ran a 3:31. I also volunteered for IMTX last weekend and had a great time.

    XLE purchased in April 2020. It’s laughable how good it’s been. SPY, AIVSX, QQQ

    Silas bolden isn’t even on campus yet either. It’s an embarrassment of riches.

    Anybody up in the NE Texas area interested in a fantastic run, the Fresh 15 put on by Brookshire's is this weekend. Fantastic race that is well put on and supported by the community up there. They have a 15k, 5k, and kids K option. They routinely sell out in advance (sold out about 2 weeks ago for this year's race). The race is tomorrow but they immediately open up the following year's race the day after the race. All money goes to local charities. This will be my 4th year running it. Since it's put on by Brookshire's grocery, they always have tons of food vendors giving out free stuff as well. Just a heads up. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Let me know when you want to sell one lol

    My PR for half marathon is a 1:45:40. I'm slowly working my way down as I continue just getting mileage in and doing speed work every other week. I've only really been running for three years. I have a half marathon this weekend but I will probably just run it with my wife. We're heading out to Vegas at the beginning of August for the Revel Series Mt. Charleston downhill marathon. Meeting some friends out there. It's a Boston Qualifier but I won't touch 3:05:00 which is the cutoff for my age bracket.

    Agree with the speed work. The first marathon I did (Houston 2023), I did the training with my wife who is unquestionably slower than me. We did the beginner marathon plan to cross the finish line. It did NOT go well and left a bad taste in my mouth. I signed up for 2024 the same day I finished 2023 and changed up my training, ran at my own pace, and shaved over an hour off my time from 2023. Marathon 3 was absolutely fantastic. Maybe not for someone doing their first marathon as the mileage is already pretty high at the beginning.

    Love the Hal Higdon stuff. I used his Marathon 3 to train for the Houston Marathon this last year as I wanted to also incorporate cycling and swimming into the program as I'm gearing up for triathlons this year (Olympic in May and 70.3 Waco in October). I hit every single long run called for and really dialed in in 2023 running upwards of 40+ miles per week during the summer to build the aerobic base.

    Switched to Zyn about 2 months ago. Coffee tastes like chocolate. Citrus is great too. I can say that I have saved a TON of money just in the last two months. I was creeping to 2 cans a day of Grizzley. A can of Zyn will last be well over 2 days. I'll go from the 6 to the 3 mg probably within the next month or so but this stuff has been a wallet and life saver.

    Small world…Corby Meekins is now the head coach at my son’s high school.
