Jackes Posted November 9, 2020 Share Same here, on a 230 with HR strap and 45, with the weirdest being very high spikes and then suddenly it drops back to normal, especially at the beginning or runs and it is NOT cold here anymore. I was even contemplating if my software updates buggered it up Of the two the optical seems the worst. I've been getting very erratic HR readings lately (Garmin Forerunner 235 wrist HR). Quite irritating.Has massive jumps too during tempo or intervals. Edited November 9, 2020 by Jackes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt a significant amount of doping going on. And at the same time there is very little testing going on.

dave303e Posted November 11, 2020 Share I will leave this here. Especially given that all athletes now have a 3-9 month gap in biological passports which WADA even admitted is a problem. Lexx, Jewbacca and jdwet1980 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going down that rabbit hole!I also have this issue. With a LOT coverage and reporting. On this site the flippant use of the terms 'them' and 'they' and 'us' as well.... I have been flamed unceremoniously for going down that road before. It seems derision and division still doesn't see labels as being part of the problem dave303e and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rad Posted November 11, 2020 Share Can't stand it when people walking their dogs can't control them. When the dog chases me and yaps away at my legs and the owner does nothing to reprimand their dog. Not impressed.

Lexx Posted November 11, 2020 Share Happens to me as well. I just spray them with my water straight in the face, and follow up with the "F" and "S" word..... b-rad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave303e Posted November 12, 2020 Share I hate it as well, got bitten on the spruit earlier this year, have told a few dog owners they are too stupid to be allowed to have dogs and I hope they haven't had kids. Usually gets a good reaction. We have been living on the farm the last few weeks with work from home being stretched. been so nice running around fields and rural dirt roads. No people, no dogs, no cyclists Vetplant and b-rad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronniek Posted November 23, 2020 Share Comrades suspends 3 atletes https://www.enca.com/sport/comrades-marathon-association-suspends-three-athletesAh yes. Wonder if the lady with the B seeding that didn’t make the first cut off was one of them. Or the gentleman that ran faster splits in the last 20(?) km’s than the actual winner that started off averaging more than seven minutes per kilometer? Still cannot fathom why you would want to cheat like that [emoji2363] Edit: Went delving into my Facebook history and then Comrades historical results. The gentleman mentioned above has indeed been disqualified [emoji1419] Edited November 23, 2020 by Ronniek Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted November 23, 2020 Share Jaaslaaik, of all stupid things to do, I had a slowish MTB tumble yesterday. Knee swollen to upper leg size - cannot even see my knee cap. Fortunately not thaaat much pain, so hopefully no major issues. Have a 16h appointment to get it treated.But I strongly suspect I've fallen myself out of this weekend's UTCT.

Really hope that's not the case. Are you entered in for the 50km, Relay or 25km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
