Extremely sad for those killed and their families.

UPS corporate has to be shitting themselves with this occurring at Worldport right before peak season.

Awful news

All - seeking guidance. Context: Last November I had my front lawn resodded. The old lawn was a mess of weeds and torpedo grass. The crew used a sod cutter and dug down 10 inches discarding everything. They then sprayed to kill any torpedo grass roots at that level. Then they came back in with new fill and laid zoysia sod on top.

I recently noticed torpedo creeping back into the lawn. I applied Quinclorac and a surfactant about 3 weeks ago where I saw the torpedo. It definitely has beat back the torpedo but it also yellowed the zoysia pretty good. The lawn now looks spotty. I fertilized the lawn about 10 days after the Quinclorac treatment and the lawn seems happy everywhere else.

Questions: is the yellowing of zoysia normal? How often can I selectively spray the new torpedograss that has since appeared?

Any other tips for a newbie?

Thank you all!

Nice! Where does that sail from?

We’re sailing on the Wish

How about zoysia sod? I redid my front yard with the stuff in early December. Think there’s any chance it lives?

Look into buying a trisuit. It’ll increase your swim speed and offer a little padding for the bike.

Like the other poster mentioned, practice the transition. Great to have a plan but actually putting your plan into action while wet, full of adrenaline and winded may change your effectiveness.

The elastic belt helps to pin your number onto. You can strap it on in T1

Good luck! I’ve heard the Bret Robinson is a fun race!

Thanks! I too prefer book on tape. Will give these a listen!

Look at Arenas Del Mar near Manuel Antonio on the Pacific Coast and consider hiring a private plane to fly you into the Arenal region and stay at Nayara Resort.

Did this for my honeymoon - it was best of both worlds

I’m bummed to hear that. It was our best meal on the island by a long shot.

Witnessed a drive by shooting while driving with my family and had tools stolen out of my backyard shed after Hurricane Ida knocked my fence down.

The shooting was shocking and the news reported it as drug related but it hasn’t affected me long term. Was honestly more frustrated by the tool stealing as it felt much more violating to know a crook was in my yard.

How does one go about purchasing a good quality repo? Is there a marketplace?
