Gearing up to do the Santa Cruz 70.3 in September and I’m so happy to have found this video and hear about your experience. Super inspirational and touching, thank you so much for sharing it, man!
Yeah. I think it’s worth a Bart ride down here , getting off at the Berryessa Station. It’s a very popular route on weekends. Start early in the summer days.
I'm heart broken after seeing the two riders really hurt. I hope they make a fast recovery and get to ride again as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing another great ride
This is NOT an example of a proper wall connector install. These kinds of installation posts lead to confusion and misunderstanding. White Neutral wire should NOT be used. 2 hots and a ground (green or bare) only. This guy used 6/3 wire w/grd bundle, he should have used 6/2 wire w/grd bundle. He claims his neutrals and grounds are “shorted” together. He used the white neutral wire as a ground, but connected it to the neutral buss bar. Not apparent what he did with the bare grd wire at the wall connector. What a mess.
@@gregwatson8246 Greg thanks for pointing out the mistakes I've made in the video. You're absolutely correct. Reviewing what i did, two mistakes. 1. Neutral and GND are not the shorted in the subpanel and are two separate paths. I mistakenly said Neutral and GND are shorted on the subpanel. 2. You're right, I connected the Tesla GND terminal to the neutral terminal in the subpanel. To correct this, I would just move the wire from the Neutral terminal to the GND terminal within the subpanel. I should had used the bare wire instead of the White wire. Thanks for pointing out the Electrical Code errors. In this case, the two hot wires carry all the electrical current and there's no return current to the GND wire (to my understanding) or the Neutral wire, so functionally the Neutral connection works just fine in this case although not wired correctly per Electrical Code. In the case of a fault, the Neutral connection can act as a return path during a fault condition (to my understanding).
Thanks @buckcram5908 for recognizing Willem #tastycycle. I'll tag his bike service at the description. Willem is a great guy with a fun sense of humor. :) He saved our day!
0:04 She needs to work on her breathing technique. Her head is way too high above the water: drag. Her head needs to be parallel to the water surface with one eye above the water and the other eye pretty much submerged or half submerged. The rule of thumb is if you can see half above water and half below water with waterline right at your nose, then you're breathing properly. With her head raised so high, she's not creating a "pocket" around her mouth for breathing. Her both eyes are looking backward instead of looking sideways. This is a typical technical issue with a lot of amateur swimmers.
@@imdragonslayer I put in 10k per week in the pool. She breathes from her right side. Since she raises her head too much her right recovery stroke after the breath feels "heavy and rushed". That's because the weight of her head pulls her arm down right before the entry. You can even hear the splash sound is uneven from left side to right side. The right side is noticeably louder. Her left side stroke is much smoother.
We rode 100 miles every Sunday , 4 weekends in a row before this event. Drank all electrolytes and ate food every 30 mins. I had leg cramping during the first two trainings and started to take one salt pill every 20 mile. My teammates don’t have cramping issues. During the actual ride , the air is thinner at high elevation so you would have to breathe harder. Don’t sprint during the ride or else your legs may cramp. I have a power meter and don’t exceed the power level you’re training for. Btw The sun after 11am is brutal.
Thanks for the encouragement. Yea, it’s always a hard climb there especially with the camera on hand 😅. I use the GoPro 10, which is by far better than all its predecessors
The “major” climb you referred to was the “wall” Palomares Rd. Any loop involving Dublin, San Ramon, Pleasanton, and finishing in Fremont would culminate in that climb.
Also one of my favorite loops! We usually go down Pescadero Creek Road to Pescadero first, then to Tunitas. The route become about 50 miles though haha. Pescadero has a gas station that serves really good Mexican food btw!
Well put together video. Thank you for shraring the journey with us. Congratulations on finishing the ride. Would love to connect via strava, as it's a ride I'm thinking of doing.
You don't need the 1000W BBSHD unless your bike frame is heavy or expect to carry a heavy load up a steep hill. I've heard from some people that if you're not careful with this model and set the power to highest, it may snap the chain. In fact you can't really ride the motor at the max power setting for too long anyway. On the 750W model, i set it to the highest level just for run, and the battery was completely drained in less than 30 mins. You will also need a bigger battery capacity for the 1000W model.
@@imdragonslayer Yeah. I’m sure you have done a good amount of research before you purchased the 750w so I think it is wise for me to make the same decision. You should make more videos of it.
You may need an extension bar such as putting a pipe over the handle bar of the wrench. Or use your leg to push it. Apply WD40 or penetrating lubricant may help.
