Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open (Page 85)

Originally posted by aviatrix802 Hill repeats on Vader early this morning. Felt productive. Pulled in the driveway a bit too fast and hit the break while un clipping - just had the cable tightened yesterday...doh...and I took a whipper off the bike because I'm just that talented. ...came down on the bar so hard..so thankful I'm not a guy right now. TMI?

I once crashed into the trash cans at the top of my driveway trying to unclip - thankfully they were plastic and had grass under them. 

The funny thing is how slowly it all happened, like "TIMMMMMMBBBBBEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Glad you're OK and laughing about it.

Room is finally booked!! Slopeside condo in Tremblant....yes, DQ, I will have to trudge up the hill if the gondolas aren't close enough. At least there's a pool for the kids and a kitchenette for my sis-in-law and I to make food.
Getting nervous, it's getting real..

Originally posted by Qua17 I had a rough bike ride! I was just out of gas and I only finished 35 of my planned 60. It seemed like everything hurt - my shoulder, my knee, my saddle sores. I was just happy to make it home. Next time.

Originally posted by drfoodlove Jenn--you are going to do great! Amazing how booking a room is the thing that finally makes it real--you would think that registration would be that thing, but I'm the same way. It isn't real until you book someplace to sleep. Which reminds me, need to call and confirm my hotel for next weekend!

I raced this weekend with John Giza at a local Father's Day 5 and 10K. I'm proud to report that he PR'd the course. I on the other hand, for the vast majority of the race, was DFL. No excuses - I just don't carry my 240 LBs well. So with 4 miles today, I started pushing the pace and made a few passes and camd upon a 10 year old (lauren) who was doing her first 10k. She was doing great - and we struck up a conversation "I'm a 4th grader" "I'm a 6th grade teacher. Wouldn't it be great to beat a teacher?" Etc. At the 6 mile mark, the poor girl ran out of gas and stopped running. I got the people on the sidewalks to chant her name and she stayed just a few feet in front of me. Some guy jumped out of the crowd and paced her towards the finish line. It was awesome. The entire crowd was cheering for her.

I wasn't going to let her win so with about 100 yards - I started to sprint towards the line and to this girls credit she kicked it in and finished just in front of me. It was an awesome accomplishment. She came over later and told me that she couldn't of done it without me and I've got to say that made my fathers day. I was so proud of her and I hope her winning - and she did win, I really tried - will help create a life long runner.

I - on the other hand - managed to pull my right achilles again. God, I've got to lose the weight... It's killing me.

Geez, I would've thought that plunking down $700 for a race would make it real.

11,300 yds in the pool this week so far.
Took running off today - irritated inside left ankle just above the ankle bone and slightly back of it - Achilles area - doing speed work. Will try it after my long bike tomorrow - (weather pending on the bike - hail, etc..)

Ok I know I'm waaaay behind, and I have no excuse. Just needed to chime in on this - it was awesome racing with you Dave as always!

And thanks again for hanging out with Lauren. The funny coincidence is she is the daughter of one of my sister's best friends. So there I am hanging out post race with my sis and her whole family (who all ran), then Dave comes by, then he sees Lauren, and my sis is talking to Lauren's mom, and it was just this whole crazy coincidence that could only happen on such a family oriented type race. Best part of my Father's Day! Well that and taking post race pics with my little one :

Just shy of 100 degrees today, which makes me glad I only train for sprints and full IM distance like the rest of you. 6 miles on the bike was quite enough, thank you very much. Now off to pick up my son from daycare, and then maybe pizza and some beer on the back patio (the girls are off visiting grandma this weekend).

Suffered through 2:15 on the trainer. It is storming here today, which is actually fortunate, cause otherwise I'd be outside in 100+F temps.
