(Quote) The Courtyard isn't booking yet. Golden Arrow is $329/night with a 5 night minimum. Crowne will open up. And most of the Airbnb's won't start booking yet, either. Staying outside of Placid saves you hundreds of dollars a night, may not have…

@rigpig I think wearing the Clayton is probably the way to go. I like the Tracer a lot for open road racing and HIMs, and I might wear it for Placid, but I think it might lack cushioning for that application. What Newtons are you in? That would pr…

(Quote) Pffffft. Hoka has a really strong line-up. I would bet money that you would like the Clayton. Also...offset is typically more of an output thing predicated off of personal preference and/or what you tend to wear on a daily basis for footwe…

So, Excel 33 was a decent model in the Asics line-up, but considering that it isn't really radically different than something like the Cumulus...well, it was going to get streamlined out of existence. The Dynaflyte is substantially similar, IMO. Bu…

(Quote) He would be classified as an independent contractor in the US, rather than an employee.

Unpacking a few different things: 1.) Dimond is suing on the basis of violating his contract with them. Pretty simple contract claim, really. I can't ascertain their calculation of damages to get to six figures, but hey, whatever. Jordan's crosscla…

(Quote) The Foundation of 2015 (last available tax year) is a completely different animal with regard to disclosure of funds, usage, and hell, even audit statements than ever. Which, you know, is why I'm using them to fundraise for Placid. Put my m…

(Quote) It's Clause 7 of the agreement that a random drawing will be taking place. The Foundation isn't under obligation to use a third-party, but they are bound by the terms of the agreement. Further, considering the trouble that they just went thr…

(Quote) Agree on the whole "advertising like they earned it." Had a bunch of old customers qualify that way. And yes, they're completely kosher as a 501(c)(3) to offer a raffle this way in Florida. They just can't require you to donate; t…

@AaronWebstey will thankfully back me up on this, but manpris are acceptable running attire. SportHill is still good stuff.
-
(Quote) Wait, another slow white male in CT? Where you at? (Southington here). Also seconding SportHill, as they're pretty much the only manufacturer of quality pants. That said, in order: manpris > tights > pants for winter running.
-
Handlebar X and Y should give us some good info here. Yes, the reach is on the shorter side, but it seems like what he's recommending would be a longer stem than would be recommended for most tri bikes. I'll dive into the numbers when off the work …

@KHilgendorf I think you're onto something with the whole "Make Triathlon Great Again" theme. That said, the 1x eTap set-up is a phenomenal idea. Nice job, Mark.

I mean, technically you're professing your branding love to a French perfume brand (Ironman doesn't own the M-dot, they license it). That being said, as long as that tattoo has meaning to you, all that matters. Period.

(Quote) I have to imagine the SR fast sell played a sizable role in Terry's decisionmaking process. TriCal's business model is moving to event production assistance; they'll probably be doing logistics and production for Nike Women's Marathon, e.g.…
-
(Quote) I don't think it's as radical as you might think. Relatively simple organizational changes with regard to moving to a 501(c)(3), have them be the race producers, and use the for-profit as a licensing organization for the intellectual propert…

Good stuff here, although the example with 5150 is flawed; I think WTC wanted to move the business model to having a feeder series of events to lead into 70.3 and full distance racing. From an event production model: there is very little on the fin…

(Quote) The infusion of capital from Deckers was all to really expand the line-up as far as they could. In that, some of the core models became expendable. Particularly, the shoe that started it all (the Mafate) has disappeared. Deckers does help …

Closest thing would be the Stinson ATR's at this point.

This race used to have 1500 people in it between the two distances. It's a damn good venue, and a good course, too. I love that climb up into town where the second bike aid station is: they usually turn out in droves for you and make it fun. I thin…

(Quote) A lot of watts. To continue some of the discussion: when I'm "on" it is way easier to run at/near race pace than it is to take it easy. Not sure how that might impact long-term fitness & goals (I'll reserve that to th…

If you haven't struggled with trying to form a coherent sentence together out of words that used to be very easy, or had the exact same empty stare that Dave's wife describes, or be walking through a familiar city and have a full-blown panic attack …

(Quote) As someone who has had four concussions, including the last one that had me unable to look at a computer screen for the better part of 8 weeks, I'm absolutely terrified of this. I still have issues with memory, with struggling to ge…
