Small world. My small world story-

BITD I was posting in the 33 around the time I started racing, asking for advice and such. Someone noticed I was in Richmond and PM'd me about a local race. We messaged a bit about it., I think his PM signature was his actual name.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm at my old job reviewing a report. I notice this guy's relatively distinctive name in the metadata for the report. I email his work address and ask if he's the same dude from BF who was wondering about a bike race. It was, he created the report I was reading. We worked in different offices but same company.

Turns out he was also a graduate of the MA program I was in at the time, and lived a couple miles away. He ended up on my team for a couple years and got 2nd in the first and only race I've ever won. On one of our first rides together I told him about Ok Cupid (met my wife there), so he signed up and is now married to someone he met on there. I take full credit :D

Didn't you start a thread about this and get it locked?

Irish did well in her race yesterday

612th out of roughly 20,000 women
22nd in her age group (45-49)

Kudos to her.

I've come to the conclusion that the filter is the culprit. I'm gonna take one home with me and run my own coffee through it as a final test.

As a chemist I do not believe that is possible. As I said before, only if you rely on the insoluble (sludge, grounds) for flavor could the filter be removing significant flavor. If the flavor you want is in the coffee solution, the filter isn't hurting it. Have you considered that the water may be the problem?

I didn't need a receipt when My Vivoactive HR needed replacing under warranty.

First ride with my crabon tubulars this morning. I definitely gained 0.002mph on a loop I never do at a pace I never ride in. More aeroer, lighter, and less rolling resistance. Win, win, WIN.

I'm thinking that see-though mesh wouldn't be as effective as desired when it comes to mitigating UV exposure.

I got the rma back from Garmin. No mention from them of needing to send a receipt. Gonna hit the ups store later and send off the vivoinactive. I should get a replacement back 10-14 days after they receive it. So, won't have it at my duathlon on Saturday. :cry:

I was planning to use its alerts to keep me at the pace I'm aiming for.

I've had mine since july 12th. First time taking it in a pool yesterday (cuz swimming is dumb) and it was not waterproof at all. Died instantly and was leaking water for hours after.
