Been working up to triathlons this year by doing duathlons, working my way up the standard distances ladder for them. Just heading into a time trial for a sprint duathlon in August, with a standard distance in December. I'm building these up slowly for disability reasons we don't need to get into.

My concern is food more than physicality, and it is really affecting the confidence I have that I will ever complete it, or come out the other side of it feeling recoverable. Nutrition before/during/after training is always my limiting factor, that it has outpaced my insomnia as the leading hurdle.

I had a nutritionist but no matter how many lists and options I have, between the severe depression and the ARFID...I think I may as well just stop everything I have worked toward for the last 8 months, and that is a saddening thing to hear myself say.

So I ask, does anyone have tips?

I noticed that at just under 50% volume, I get about 17.3 hours of play time, on the JBL setting in the app. It's a lot shorter than advertised, and at louder volumes it get even less playtime.

Is that a product issue in general, or for me?

As the MC, we stumble upon ancient magic, follow it to some lengths and get to The Map Chamber where we meet the Keepers. The Keepers are watching the world through their old, forgotten paintings, because they don't seem to be up to date on things happening around the world currently.

Knowing of, and acknowledging, the urgency of things (and Percival hearing it for himself), they decide to slow everything down because they must discuss things and continue to shut you out - the person who has had to fight everyone and can actually do something in the world, and Prof. Figg out - the adult who can also make moves in the actual world.

They also send you on 'Trials'. To what end? Collect memories of things they can just tell you about and collect fragments of something that can open the last Magic of Pain vault under Hogwarts? I understand proving that one can wield the Ancient Magic (which MC has to have been able to do to even get to The Map Chamber), but why does the character have to be tested so much (to the point of dying) to do this. In this world, the MC is the only one in seemingly centuries, to have this capacity, and yet they have no qualms risking the death of a kid to follow their anxiety-fuelled rules. In the meantime, the other vaults of magic were accessed just fine. No protective guardians (I haven't got this far again, so maybe I am misremembering).

All the pensieve information could really have been shown at once at The Map Chamber. We didn't need to go collect it piecemeal. They did more to protect those memories than the actual vaults of magical fallout, and with the portraits right there, they were absolutely willing to risk the death of a child.

I mean I did die, and if I did, what then? Puzzles and Trials are well and good for peacetime. Additionally, a 15-year-old being able to overcome all those trials should really be showing the Keepers that perhaps I am too powerful to be allowed to continue, so what were they trying to prove with them in the first place?
