What is something completely unnecessary you do just for the challenge?


I have started last year with triathlon but my goodness me, what a struggle. I need to give myself a kick in the right place because I am by far not up to it yet. It is incredible the kind of stamina is necessary to complete one within the assigned time.
I miserably failed but that is not deterring me from trying again and again. While it is something that is completely unnecessary for a person like me as I will never reach the top, it is nonetheless a good way to try to keep fit and healthy.
I did have to go through an extensive medical check beforehand and I was cleared but that does not mean I am good at it. It is only the fun to try to challenge my own self.
I’ve been doing them for a while now. Being a competitive swimmer since, well, before birth, according to my mom XD…the hardest part is the easy one for me.
That gives me an advantage. The toughest thing is gaining even seconds from year to year. I’d really like to get sub one hour for a sprint length triathlon but shaving that amount of time I have to get there is so hard.
It’s the part most struggle with. Been helping my buddy @Spencer10 here and there get his times right. He’s going to try his first this year.
60° is still cold. Reminds me of the days when I was on the country club swim team. Mom would drop me off in the morning at like 6am. Pool was on the lake, which sits high up on a cliff.
The pool was deep and not heated. Omg was it cold even in summer and the wind off the lake, brrr.
Carving ironwood. Shit is murder on my tools and my hands, but it's fun when it's done and looks awesome.

Jk, I love to torture my sister's sanity. I know that pissing her off means a disastrous day because we share a room but it's my duty as an elder sister to make sure she gets her daily dose of 'Why tf is she annoying me'.
The psychology is obviously helping her being more tactful.
Oh, I'm just jumping on the "I have a torturous older sister too" wagon. 🤣
Any moment of anyday it could be and thing there was a question here asking if I've ever eaten the Chia Pet and yes because it was a bet so I had a roast beef sandwich with a Chia Pet tomatoes and onions on it and of course I won the bet plus chia is good for you
Yeah but any moment of any day there could be anything and if it makes us laugh we would do it. It doesn't matter who wins or loses or whatever It just matters that we're having fun
Sometimes I see just how many questions I can answer on G@G until I realize I should prolly go get a life and actually go outside and maybe go hiking/camping which I love to do in summer which is also unnecessary but a fun challenge! 😊
lol camping isn’t this like the most work people do to have fun gathering all the stuff they want to take and then having to pack it all back up and then when you get home you need a couple days off to recoup from all the fun lol
It used to be I'd try having a civil, factual conversation with a magat, but I gave that up s they were too stupid. Now I'm trying to learn irrelevant scrabble words so I can be a better player. LOL
It probably doesn't get any MORE unnecessary than that. LOL You're absolutely correct.
The fact you feel the need drop what you think is an insult and attack the intellectual capabilities of someone because they dont process information as you do speaks volumes about who is the reason responsible for the outcomes you encounter. The one fact that matters most, is neither side cares for you, me, OP… They care about themselves…. you're doing exactly what they want, keeping you feuding with your “neighbor” so you're distracted from the seeing the facts that matter. And no I dont declare either side as a part of who I am…
@kmg9150 Nice try, but I don't care about your analysis. Your first "they" is about people who do not process information PERIOD; not process differently than me, and it speaks volumes that you don't know this. Let me give you an example:
ALL "A"'s are "B"'s
All "B"'s are "C"s
Therefore, All "A"s are "C's.
Basic Aristotelian logic. However, when speaking with a maga mind, all A's are NOT C's in that example, and the explanations are incoherent. You can plug that into how "they" process information, and yes, it is an insult to their capabilities. Choosing Trump and the kakistocracy that he brought with it IS not an attack on one's intellectual failings, it's an observation that can be measured and not just by the current state of affairs.
Your second "they" I believe refers to the powers that are orchestrating the show, who employ distraction, misinformation, disinformation and other forms of chaos as a means to attain their goals. I see the "facts that matter", and if more of the gen pop did and activated their voice, we wouldn't be in this catastrophe.
In the end, I don't really care what my ignorant neighbors do UNTIL they inflict their stupidity on the rest of us and force us to live under their hypocrisy. One "side" is fine with offering choices by which to live, while the other "side" says "No, you will live this way because we're right" - and that side, is the current kakistocracy. You might think it doesn't or won't affect you, but you'll find out.
Hmm 🧐 I guess like all 20 somethings, dating apps only ever left me with a handful of genuine decent conversations - and then after that aside from OnlyFans conversations (lol) - I only had one stood up ordinary date once. Unrelated to OnlyFans - it was just public coffee ☕ via Tinder. Shrug 😔 moons ago 🌕
The dating apps aren't all full of scammers or suckers or etc - yet I've had my fill 👎🏻☺️

A lot of stuff. Throughout my life. In school. In the military. In business. In my fitness routine. In my personal life. I seem to like pushing my limits for some reason. I get bored easily.
I provoke sometimes people I know they can't handle it and get nuts or break together. I'm evil this is my nature, I can't change that.
As you already know Marathons. It's like to get a bike and start doing triathlons. Vancouver Marathon is almost here... I'll be doing that one after nursing myself back from a back injury
