I have no issues in the wet tbh! Although, I put the water lock on whilst doing my runs so that it doesn’t get effected and then use the buttons to lap and pause etc

Your review seems to be the total opposite of other reviews. It seems like you got a bad unit or something. It would be interesting if you called Polar, got a replacement and did a follow up.

@bojanstojkovic392712 күн бұрын
Thanks for the review mate but this is more of an add tbh just like the most Garmin reviews out there. The main question is how it fits on the front out mount as there are reports that the fit can be tricky due to its size. Also, how does it track the gradient? I own Edge Explore and it really struggles with ClimbPro, sometimes it shows negative gradient on a purple or red slope lol, also it's always very late in tracking it, something I'm starting to realise Wahoo does a much better job at. Also, how does it deal with navigation when you go off route? My Garmin sometimes gets confused and wants you to do a U turn even after you return to the course. So I think it would be nice if these KZbin reviews were a bit more hands on experience in the field, rather than just reading the specs out.

Josh, do you do swim technique analysis for non-coached athletes? I have no concept of timing between front and back end...I get round a 3.8km swim in an hour, but its very front end dependent I think

Hi Josh. I am just a 66 year old age grouper but had the same experience at IM Barcelona last year. I went down hill on the third lap of the bike. Became dizzy, disoriented. Barely made it back to transition. When I got there I decided to DNF and not go out on the run. My 18th IM and first DNF at any distance race. I was soooo disappointed and upset but in retrospect made the correct decision. It was hot last year and although I thought I was keeping hydrated I believe my electrolytes went all out of whack. It took me two days after to feel normal again. I worked on my calorie intake and most importantly my hydration/electrolyte intake this season. Went back to Barcelona this year because of the unfinished business. My nutrition/hydration/electrolyte plan was dialed in this time and I had one of my best bike splits and good race overall (although the run went sideways a couple of times). Overall I was very pleased with effort and finish. I learned from last year and fixed it this year. No matter how old or experienced we all learn something new each time out. Best wishes for strong 2025!
@TheTrailRabbitАй бұрын
Great advice as I'm just starting an off season myself. It's taken me some years to realize the fitness will return as I detrain and enjoy some other activities. I'll be working on my MTB skills for the next few weeks, so I'm really looking forward to that mental time off from triathlon.
@deanb61Ай бұрын
Hi Josh, I was probably one of the age groupers you lapped :) finishing 5 mins before cutoff (one person beat me to last finisher, 32 seconds before cutoff). Barcelona is a strange one, it always has more DNFs than you expect. I'm not sure it's just the heat, as this year it was way cooler than last year (maxed out at 35deg on the bike!). The bike course this year had quite a lot of poor quality roads, I heard of a few people crashing on that hill. Also the extension into Badalona was full of potholes, last year's 3 lap course was better (although 8km longer!). The run for me just had too many turns and quad busting ramps up and down underpasses. Still, i've booked for next year. I think it was Hisch who gave me my medal, but honestly I was too done in to take much notice.

Sorry to hear about your DNF but you had a good season.but sure heat adaptation is possible but thing is you live in Wales. I am from Belgium but live here 15 years in Barcelona and in summer i run short runs in sometimes 37 degrees with no intensity and short .45 min ....by the time it is october this weather feels already fresch ...as we are adapted .was i living in belgium this weather of 6 oct would be hot .now .just perfect .so you can adapt but at what cost....as you pros need to train quality and this is here inpossible in july and august.

12m gap Ahahha. Why bother lying. Everyone knows everyone takes advantages on the bike when the motos aren’t there. Mate you guys overtook me an age grouper, and you were like 2-3m/ apart. And every pro group I saw was no more than 3-4m between anyone.

Maybe the groups you saw, but I can only speak for myself, and we had a moto with us the entire time, as the lead group often does, and I feel as though I raced as fair and honest as possible, and think the others in the group would say the same

Hi Josh, don't know if you remember but we chatted before the race start. I was the very nervous firefighter trying my second full distance after a DNF at bolton. I didn't know you but I've just come across this video on my youtube and instantly remembered our conversation as you were talking about trying to avoid the heat. I made the joke that by the time I got off the bike the sun would be going down! Sorry you didn't finish but just to let you know your words to me helped calm my (very very) overactive mind and settled me into the race. I managed to finish my first full distance in Calella in 14 hours 10 mins and you definitely had something to do with it. So thank you for chatting to a stranger and good luck for your next race. I'll be following now!

Josh, I am not a professional athlete so would never try to tell you how to race. I am an anaesthesiologist and do complete IM myself. I can only congratulate you on being so mature and forward thinking in pulling the plug. I would say you really need to look at your electrolyte composition / requirements in the heat. You can most def race in the heat but need to get a strategy that will compensate for your sweat rate. You said you were ill prior to competing and so were starting with a negative electrolyte / fluid balance. You will get tit right. Congrats on being so professional in your approach. If only more people did practice what they preach we would avoid a lot of the negative outcomes we have in triathlon.
@Josh_lewisАй бұрын
Thanks John! Really appreciate that ☺️ I work closely with precision hydration for fuel/ hydration and sweat rates etc, but we are going to be doing a few more lab tests before next season to make sure I’m on top of it like you suggest. I’d be baffled if I was at a deficit before or during the race as I pre loaded and had a lot during, but who knows. Thanks again!
@johngmcdonnellАй бұрын
@@Josh_lewis Josh this is the big problem. Preloading is a misnomer / bullshit science. If you add more fluids / electrolyte before an event - your body will either eliminate it or 3rd space it about areas of inflammation. This leads to higher body weights but not extra fluids available to you when you’re in distress. It is making sure that you are adequately filled to where your osmolality is normal and your pee is light yellow. You started behind on fluids from your GI upset and this is extremely difficult to manage unless all the GI upset has settled. In terms of absorption, the guys at PH will be experts at this, once you can absorb. Once you excercise the first thing that shuts down is the gut and so it is hard to replace ongoing losses. Hence why we give so much IV treatments after an event. If you combine the ongoing losses with your deficit then you need extraordinary amounts of fluid. What would be nice to look at if you’re unless is your venous side volume through ultrasound / echo. They could do this with PH in the extreme simulations you do. If you measure volume and not just weight you’re going to get a better idea of your deficits. The other thing would to look at other solutions that have magnesium, potassium and manganese. Best of luck. Hope you slay the next few years
