Champion 7036    Sarasota, FL | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Other than continuing to swim and run, I'd probably spend more time at the gym, which is what I did before triathlon. More golf. I'd also spend more time at my hobby workbench buildling wooden ship models. Mark |

Biking is my favorite of the three so it would be a real bummer. It was said in jest earlier, but I would likely go to running and crossfit. My brother in law is a coach at a crossfit gym, I have worked out with him before, if done properly it is a good way to workout and definitely gets the results. |

Expert 1035 lake forest, California | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Well I did leave Triathlon for a few years and raced dirt bikes. Hare n Hound desert racing specifically which sometimes made tri's seem easy. Almost died in a wreck a few months ago- i'm done with racing motorcycles...... |

Extreme Veteran 1001 Highlands Ranch, Colorado | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Since I came to Triathlon from running I would probably get into trail and ultra-running. I have a couple of friends that have been trying to talk me into doing a 100k next year so I would do that then do something stupid like sign up for the Leadville Run Series. |

Champion 10668 Tacoma, Washington | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Kayaking? Rowing? I'm not a doctor, so take this for what you paid for it... I suspect it isn't the biking -- the actual activity of riding a bike. Likely they'll blame the bike shorts. But really, unless you're spending all day in them, the hour or two that you're wearing them is NOT going to cause you to go impotent. I know that when I was first trying (in a past marriage), there was ALL KINDS of blame put on me because we hadn't conceived in 6 months. The biking, my choice of underwear (leading to a very embarrassing Christmas morning in front of my entire family), stress... Turns out, though, it wasn't me. Some couples are just chemically difficult, so even when all the plumbing is working properly, conception becomes problematic. Anyway... There are other things you can do. Have you looked into maca root? |

Champion 10550 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Hmmm... good question. I think I would want to either try or get back into some of the things below: stand-up paddle boarding (and maybe do a couple of races) hot yoga aerial silks classes like the really cool stuff they do in Cirque du Soleil shows dance classes golf... maybe. I've played before and tended to call it "whack f**k" instead as that was the usual reaction after hitting the stupid little white ball.

Member 141 | Subject: RE: Replace Triathlons with..... Just making sure it's a natural issue right now. Probably not going to affect my choice in the long run but for now I am "asked" to stop biking. (Wife not doc) |

Probably not going to affect my choice in the long run but for now I am "asked" to stop biking. (Wife not doc) Then you are, by all means, doing the right thing to get off the bike for a while. The bike will collect some dust, which can be brushed off. Whether or not your wife's concerns leading her to make this request are valid or not is frankly, irrelevant. Her unspoken request is, "Is having kids more important to you than your bike?" Your willingness to hang it up for a while will pay dividends for the rest of your life. It sounds like you probably already know that, but if you're anything like most guys it doesn't hurt to hear someone else say it.... From a father of four, kids are an amazing gift. Worth any sacrifice you have to make for them. If you've got a body of water nearby, kayaking sounds like a good option to me. |
