Disylizzy

Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place to sell Lego, or is gumtree the best bet? I bought a big set to keep me occupied during lockdown, but a bit over it again. Thanks!

Anybody going to the informational evening at Ciovita tonight?

I joined the challenge. It's going to be tough for me to get anywhere in contention though because my commute is a whopping 9km one way. And I've only done it once so far this year, but will try to be more consistent with it from next week.

Some really good advice here, thanks guys. And well done @blondeonabike

Maybe I need to hit you up then for when you guys go riding again, after world fun ride champs of course. My mountain biking skills have taken a nose dive with all the road cycling I've been doing lately

At least it makes for a good story

That makes sense, I think part of the heebie jeebies comes in with the fact of how to meet guys... And the only thing that comes easily to mind is online dating, and the idea of sifting through garbage/lies/dick pics to get to some gem is very off-putting

'Sup Myles! I was just wondering because I want to meet people again, but the thought of dating is giving me the heebie jeebies

Just out of curiousity, how long did it take you guys to start dating again after your divorce?

That's really sad news. RIP Condolences to his family and friends.

So this is where that all important transportation engineering I've been touting comes in to play. The formula/concept is stopping sight distance. When you see an obstacle, you don't immediately stop, you see the obstacle, you need to comprehend it, and then only will you start applying brakes. The average reaction time used is 2.5 seconds - some people are obviously faster. So for a car travelling at 70km/hr, the distance is 104m https://comparativegeometrics.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/basic-formula-for-stopping-sight-distance-2/

so to Cap and Geronimo, I agree with you on all accounts. But there is a reason why there is a faction in engineering called Transportation Engineering. People are inherently stupid in general and there are general guidelines set forth for road users to make informed decisions when approaching an intersection or any other geometric designs that are prevalent in today's road infrastructure. If these guidelines aren't followed, then accidents can and will happen.

That section of the road looks like a typical T-junction. I've been guilty of running the red light there because I was going too fast to brake and didn't realise there's a road to the left as well. And I have disk brakes. I checked google maps and there is signage up showing a full intersection, but it's relatively far from the intersection itself, so not easy to make an informed decision while in a car, nevermind on a bike that doesn't always look for signage that far ahead. The driveway is hidden by a bush, so the sight distance is also not on par with transportation engineering typical guidelines. Not only should the driver be able to see conflicting traffic, but the traffic crossing the intersection should also be able to note a vehicle. It was clearly an accident that could have happened to anyone. But I would like to hope that the intersection itself would be improved to have adequate signage and road markings in place that everyone is aware of the hidden drive.

Google is your friend: https://www.tripsavvy.com/vancouver-december-weather-and-event-guide-1481897 Looks like you'll be able to ride

Well done all to R2S!

It's kind of an a-ha moment tbh. You're obviously putting in the time in the pool, so should be fine by now or at least seeing big improvements. some things to try: - slow down (like david said), if you're bashing the water your muscles use a lot of oxygen. - try only using a pull buoy, this will help you focus on your stroke and your leg muscles are larger so use more oxygen - try to include some laps where you breath every 3rd or 4th stroke, this will force you to exhale more slowly, which I think might be your actual problem, ie you're breathing too much

My hubby really only just started swimming laps in June, and he's up to do 800m open water without any issues only within the last month. A few questions for you, how often are you swimming, are you constantly exhaling and taking inhalations? Are you breathing every second stroke only or are you trying to breath every 3rd or 4th stroke?

Check the tweet, I think next year is 2019, not 2020...

We were actually discussing it a couple of weeks ago, the consensus was that it seems to work for him, and that training with a coach may actually hinder his performance. Ie, his running style, a coach may try to change it, but it somehow works for him, even though it's the most uncomfortable looking gait. He has a very unique story overall, and I think he prefers marching to the beat of his own drum. His nutrition plan is absolutely nuts, but he filmed himself doing a practice run and he seemed to handle everything okay. So will see what race day brings.

My predictions are: 1. Sanders - been watching his videos and he's seriously ripped, really thinking he needs to gain a couple of grams... 2. Cunnama 3. Gomez Noya 1. Ryf 2. Charles 3. True

I would think they would stream it like they have all the other IM races the past few months - on Facebook it's Ironman Now

Even if your license is expired, as long as you have one they weren't interested in our other licenses. And then to pick up we just gave a letter giving permission to a family member to collect. If you're planning on driving while in SA then you can get the temporary license (when you're renewing your old one) - just need to bring in a photo, and that's valid for 6 months.

Good luck tomorrow! We’re race number 204, say hi if you see us ????

it's going to be chilly!

Eddie_V are you racing as well? Got the registration email this morning and butterflies are already starting! Not my first rodeo, but haven't raced in years.
