first ever dedicated tri tered here. looking for like minded triathletes for fruitful discourse.

first up; do you guys pee on bike? time is precious. 1 second is all the difference between 1st and 2nd (or other placing la..)

Hi anak ikan tri

tri swim like a fish!

Tak laku thread ?

lazy to edit.

it doesnt matter how tak laku the tered,
as long as got tered.

haters gonna hate.

Well. Who hates tri? Then tri to du it.

Oh well. Peee on bike is a no no tho

8

More than one way to skin a cat....tri

so u nak hadiah?

Kucing bulu merah seekor

Where is trisek?

still in T1

Today's conundrum.

We know time is limited and precious. Every second should be spent on anything fruitful. Preferably training.

After a hard workout on bike, do you wash your bike? Or just crash on the sofa getting your much needed recovery? Recovery is part of training. So don't you think it is more beneficial to just skip cleaning ur bike and get some recovery instead?

This thread is too Alpha

what is tered too alpha?

B-U-Cat's-P

???

BUMP is actually bring up my post....yucks, poison

but i refuse to associate myself with this thread

Thus BUCP

Why I missed post #8 again

Tri again next time!

tanpa disedari....

So tri really pee on bike?

masih misteri
but high probability

Why need MTBer to open triathlete tered?

MTBer now not enough friends want to pander to the triathlon community??

finally...a proper thread to ask advises and pro tips.
can anyone here who has done Ironman share their journey, training and any inspirations for newbie

Calvin Seak is training for ironman

Edited

wow tered kincing atas basikal sudah wujud lama rupanya

are there even triathletes in here?

all i see is the same cycling thread circlejerking

yes of course!

n i aspire to be one!

tri is not cyclist. cyclist tak suka tri yang kencing masa kayuh

Problem?

Tria-fag reporting in.

Hi.

Just signed up for my first event in October - Perdana builders in Putrajaya.

I sweat a lot - it always looks like I peed myself after a run. So I would pee on the bike because no one would notice.

I have 0 cycling skillz and knowledge but that cycling thread doesn't seem particularly useful.

Just by tri-ing, u already a winner!
All the best!

yup. might as well right? it's the end result what matters.

yeah. mostly tokok je.

i dungeddit, why the biggest trifag no contribute post here but let MTB-er and true cyclists slander trifags

i feel u bro. u marah when pipu say bad things about tri.

i dungeddit

u dungeddit until u tri it

ignorance is bliss

Still no bike so just cycling on stationary bike.

8 weeks to go to my sprint -1/2 hr 3 times a week on fake bike only atm. Probably going to get passed by a 70yr old on a bmx.

will be joining my first dua on oct.
no experience on transition. every event transition is same? so that i can learn from youtube only. where to stop where to start pedalling.

any advice? thanks

For most events they're about the same

Some might have slightly different racking..

I think most important of all is to know where your bicycle is located at, you do not want to waste minutes or seconds when it comes to searching for your bike.

Next.. Always remember to put on your helmet first before leaving the transition area..


Most races would have a line / carpet to indicate that there is where you should stop / start pedalling.. If you are familiar with the flying mount by all means do it but be careful for those who are around you..

Last but not least, do enjoy your race and take it as an experience! Have fun and good luck!

Hey buddy! First of all do join a group that has the same goals and interest!

Are you doing your first ironman this year at langkawi? If so, see you there!

All the best buddy!

There are many bicycles listed on bicycle bike sell or roadbike buy/sell/swap (malaysia) at facebook.. Good luck!

srsq

if dunno how to do flying mount, either walk in cleated shoes until exit transition area, OR run barefoot until exit area then only put on shoes?

Not for my height! seriously - I'm going around trying to come in below RM4k for a slightly better than entry level bike and I cannot find any large frames for my 182cm build.

edit: looking at facebook now...

Woah you're really tall! Haha you can look at brand new bikes which are on clearance actually, my friend is 186cm and rides a 58cm bike

Haha just do what you're comfortable with, either way is fine 😁

Good luck and all the best to those who are doing challenge iskandar puteri and GCE Duathlon this weekend!!

i won't be joining but i will be cheering from here.

I'm sticking to the fun ride for now... lol

what's the point of swimming/riding/running if it is not fun?

No swimming, running or pissing for me now, thank you...

thanks to all who help and answering all my questions. able to finish my first dua.
transition is smooth. there were many marshals giving instruction and guide during the event.



i hate running

cycling's the way to go

Looking great bro! Congratulations on your finish!

I heard the water wasn't enough though? Friend was really mad lol

no bucket for participants - me first time so i thought it was my fault not bringing my own bucket lol. all item left on the floor only.
no pisang / no goodies - show off sponsors a lot of name. but goodies bag empty oni lol

Sunday ride cancelled by rain After catching the last 16 miles of Kona, makes me think I want to join Dua event next year. Habis watch Patrick Lange propose to his Gf, went for a 8km walk then Tri on Rudy Project Rydon!

Haha you're welcome! Don't worry about it, anything that you would like to know feel free to ask!

Ironman is just 3 weekends away! Anyone of you guys signed up for it?

I did, still figuring out on the nutrition part.

Check out this legend!

He has been getting a lot of attention after his performance in Kona. But still mad respect for him

In actuality, his nutrition strategy involved preventing everyone else from getting water and gulping down coke!

Haha dude!! That's not Lionel!

That's Patrick! World champ! Record holder for Kona and the run leg! What a legend!

Lol I know! Can’t help laughing every time I watch that clip. Make sure you to try that strategy in langkawi!

Hahaha thanks buddy!! 😂😂

I just hope to finish and have some fun

How many times have you done full IM?

My first!! I'm super excited for it!

Enjoy the taper and good luck for the day!

Same here. Virgin IM! It's taper time

anyone knows what langkawi IM will be serving? in terms of drinks and gels? what brand / what type?

oh and

"Please do take note of the IRONMAN ruling on a nonwetsuit
race, clothing covering any part of the arms
below the elbow and clothing covering any of the leg
below the knee is deemed illegal equipment and is
not permitted. Compression wear may NOT be worn
DURING non-wetsuit swims, but may be worn upon the
completion of the swim"

compression tech on trisuits that doesn't cover neck, forearms and lower leg still not allowed?

You can run through the athlete guide book

100% sure they're using high5 gels

Not sure what isotonic drinks but I think it's 100plus

For the rules

As long as it doesn't cover neck, forearms and lower leg you're fine..

Which trisuit are you using that is covering your whole body? I think the item you were referring to is a wetsuit?

derosa fliuit, no it doesn't cover arms, lower legs and neck, but it does have compression. so the AIG says "Compression wear may NOT be worn DURING non-wetsuit swims, but may be worn upon the completion of the swim" which is what concerns me.

thx for the gel/hydration update.

Oh those are fine then..

The compression they're talking about are like compression calve and arm sleeves

But if you would like to double check, feel free to email them and do update us

nope, feign ignorance.

During bike leg, I believe the road marshall will only come and provide you with tubes and will not help in changing them?

Did you guys survive? Waiting for race report

park for langkawi coolstory

Heard many crashes on the bike coz the datai stretch was really slippery in the rain.

Saw a few guys running with arm slings, 1 Indian guy looked like broke his wrist or arm and still running.

Survived but it wasn't the result I wanted haha it's not easy at all, I guess we should all respect the distance

Yeah there was a heavy downpour around 10am ish I guess.. Best to be safe than sorry

Congratulations you’re an iron man!

Next one will be better since you’ll have had an opportunity to improve on your weaknesses..

Pushed too hard on the bike and suffered on the running leg

Did you base your effort on wattage or feel?

Anyone looking for new gears?

Initially planned to stick to power, but end up on feel. My bad...

Nevernindlah just learn from the effort.

My first tri was a bit of a disaster and what I learnt is that I need to learn how to cycle properly 😂

I’m going to try the 70.3 in Langkawi next year so 2019 is going to be a lot of base training and working on my limitations for me!

A good deal is the 25% off on training peaks or the 2 free months on strava

Yeah, zone training is what I have been doing in the initial phase for the IM preparation.

Finished the Aquathlon in Pantai Klebang, Melaka over the weekend. swim conditions... were not so great. Shallow, muddy, zero visibility

Now seeing this was my 2nd multi-sport event, the first being the triathlon in Putrajaya - which was only slightly less muddy - are all the local swim legs like this?

Any good events to look forward to in 2019?
