  1. Thanks for this! Will discovery accept the edited versions? I know they can be a pain in the butt ????
  2. And maybe you should GTFO with that comment
  3. Ok, thanks for the clarification about the lap button. It also happens if I adjust my goggles while pushing off (I get 2 laps instead of 1), so not technically a case of RTFM...
  4. But realistically, do I want to press buttons when I am focusing on my training?
  5. Hi guys, I recently got the 735xt and I absolutely love it (so don't try tell me to get the Fenix ????). I have noticed lap count inconsistencies when training in a pool. I have looked online and everyone else seems to have a problem with the Garmin missing laps. My watch does the opposite, it gives me extra laps. As awesome as that is, I would like to be able stop mentally counting my laps when I train. I have noticed that when I rest between sets, and adjust my cap for example, an extra 25m is added to my distance. Any ideas or suggestions for a fix?
  6. And the chemicals (Mr min and dishwashing liquid) will be fine on the paint work?
  7. Hey guys! My new bike is a beautiful white carbon matte finish. I have quickly learnt that the white picks up dirt and marks super easily - she needs a clean after every ride! What do you suggest I use to clean the marks off, without damaging the frame, or affecting the colour?
  8. I have heard that silver plasters work well to prevent scars. I have a feeling that they are expensive though
  9. I am going to sound like a real n00b now, but i really didn't know this! Thanks for the info
  10. ^^^ this!!! I truly thought I was the only one who experienced this. I have pretty much the exact same swimming background and experience. When I first got into the open water on race day, I didn't necessarily panic, but my muscles seized. I couldn't get a rhythm going and every time I breathed, I swallowed water. The waves and chaos then made me panic. I assume the best way to overcome this is to practice swimming in the open water. But I am a little weary of doing that after my last open water swim :/
  11. Yes I did. Unfortunately, the event wasn't listed in their calender so I had to do a manual claim.
  12. Still waiting for Disco to 'approve' the points for my triathlon on 24/9 if they don't approve by midnight, I don't get my weekly reward... how convenient for them...
  13. You can join the CycleTeknix Saturday Social group. They have a great 40km ride that starts in Kenilworth on Saturday morning. Very friendly and funny bunch. You might meet a few people who are keen for an early morning weekday ride too. Edit: this is a road ride but plenty of people do it on their mtb. A few people organise their own mtb ride for Sundays
  14. Thanks! I hope I don't bore you with my average insta
  15. If ya'll are interested in seeing my cats, loads of food, the occasional tri/cycling pic, and random memes, have a look at sheri_koop13
  16. Welcome Jay! Your wife is a very smart woman Many safe miles
  17. This is a fair enough train of thought. If you are hoping that people will be generous and help you out, vs being stranded of legitimate reasons.
  18. Yes, wetsuit compulsory swim. But still, icy cold!!!! A number of people found the swim to be tough, so I felt a bit better about that- at least it wasn't me and my training. So, I have a fitbit blaze, but it isn't waterproof I decided it wasn't worth the time to put it on during transition. But hey, you live and you learn. I have been considering getting a proper tri watch, but they are expensive (well, I have expensive taste). The watch is going to have to wait a bit because I am upgrading my bike bike it more important in my opinion
