When you have back problems sitting for long periods hurts. Also, at wookie size, desks are too low, so slouching over is not a slouch - it's and uncomfortable head hang.

Is that the one with elevintybillion switchbacks that opened a few years ago ?

Just looked at the map and I'm not sure you can still shuttle Shumont. It dumps out on Boys Camp rd. The bottom section is a boulder field at freeway speeds. Stupid fast.

yep. it's awful. but i will persevere.

Did you trade your car in?

My car is worth about $50 + three fiddy.

I love me some slouch at work...but a standing station would be better.

One of the engineers at work bought an adjustable sitting/standing desk a year ago. Haven’t seen him standing at it in about 11.5 months.

Fuuuuck, three hours tavelling to find out that "In Stock" does not actually mean "In Stock".

Shop has eight listening rooms and 50k stereos but they can't sort out live stock on a website, eat a fucking dick!

Was wondering how my DH time was *so* slow yesterday, taking a closer look at Strava, I somehow triggered the segment before I started, there’s time at the start where I’m just getting ready to go. Once I actually started the graph looks a lot more normal. Phew.

How’s the hand @Toshi ? They apparently have a reputation for taking ages to heal.

Well, that was special. Got to ride trails from the top of the Tram in Jackson tonight, super epic. You can only ride these trails two days of the year, period. It is part of an Enduro series. Gnarly as Fuk, as you would imagine at JHMR. Doing the ‘race’ tomorrow, but I really am just doing it as a ride. My goal is to stay upright, basically.

It's okay.

You'll always be a loser in our hearts.

Boxer’s fractures shouldn’t cause too many issues. Feels better with this brace/removable splint, which mainly reminds me to not use those digits. Going to see ortho hand on Wednesday to get the full scoop.

This is the trail in question; These guys do it in 4:06, my best time is 3:55 and I ‘normal’ do a sub 4 ‘these days’ (he says after two and bit months off). I get a small advantage on the short flat pedally bit after the initial speedy section of course with the eeb.

Not there, but just to the bottom of Corbet’s.

Tactical style raid on my neighbor's porch to get my frisbee back was likely overkill. But I like using the word "overkill" so there. It was secured and unbent.

Just get a 40 and this won't happen.

I used to sit on a big inflatable ball, which worked well.

TrainingPeaks has a really good platform for getting a schedule together. Know that running shoes are considered disposable. Get a good pair that fits VERY well, but expect to replace them every 500ish miles. Speedo has really good coaching videos for swimming. RPMs aren't as important as gliding after each stroke. And learn to breathe both sides, if you can't already.

Just coming around back to this...

The tri I signed up for is a sprint. I can bang out 450 yards with no real training without issue. My 100yd times were in the low 2 minute range with baggy shorts on. I have training from high school but definitely lack fitness, and I was a lifegaurd at a lake for a couple of years so a reasonable amount of open water swimming. Again, this is 450 yds in a pond with a staggered start and my goal is survival rather than dominance. I'm not trying to @I Are Baboon it here. The run will be the most challenging primarily because I hate running and do not have good form. I was able to get my 5k time down to 8m/mi and that's exceptional as far as I am concerned

I'm wagering mid-pack for the swim, top 1/3 for the bike, and bottom 1/3 for the run. I've just been talking about it for 15 years so I figure it's time to shit or get off the pot!

If there's no pie, you're last.

This is why I don't do Tris, not only do you have to run, you have to get in freaking cold water.

there is a bigass breakfast buffet, and I'm cool with that.

yeah it's dropped like 30 degrees in the mornings these days. I picked this one because I thought it would still be warm and I wouldn't need a wetsuit...ah well

 

[6thElement]

tri's would be okay if I could skip the swimming.

Tris would be ok if it meant three days of shuttling.

I'd watch downhill swimming, the cascades would be perfect.
