New user  669    Madrid |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPENOriginally posted by Tavo2311 So this morning officially started my Ironman training. Though all the training I've been doing since signing up in September has been with this race in mind, the specific 24 week plan is now underway. Wish me luck, I'm sure as hell gonna need it! 4:30 am 3 mile run this morning, swim squad later tonight. -Matt It was a dream, now it is a goal!! Yess, excellent motivation to have a great goal in mind - will follow your sessions Matt, I have about 20 weeks till early July. Juan |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by bulfrog My week finished off strongly, a 5 hour 120km ride on saturday followed by a half hour run in the evening, and a 2 hour ride on Sunday. Sunday's ride was hard work tho, the wind was up, and I was feeling fatuige from a big weeks training, but got it done. Over all for the week, 1 swim, 30 minutes, 1500m (this is the let down this week) 3 Bikes, 8 hours 30 minutes 207km, and 5 Runs, 4 hours 17 minutes, 35km Solid numbers for me that I'm quite happy with, other than a lack of swimming. Today I'm giving my legs a rest, Only going to swim after work, 40-45 minutes planned. And the rest of the week will be similar to last week, only a longer long run and long bike. 19 days till IMNZ... but who's counting Almost there Andrew, enjoy these final days! Juan |

Hopefully they will lead to something. Thanks for asking! Congrats x2 - interviews and 10 pounds, way to go!! Juan |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by Juancho Originally posted by nicole14e Had a killer masters swim on Saturday morning. Did just under 4000yds, definitely the most I've ever swam in my adult life. Ended up doing time trials as well, which I was not aware we were doing! I only remember my 200 time, which was 2:49. I just emailed my coach to get my 500 and 100 times. I definitely went out too strong in the beginning of the 200 and 500 and died a bit towards the end, especially in the 500! We also did a drill to work on keeping our head positioning that really helped. We put a hand paddle at the top of our head and had to keep it there while swimming. I felt like it helped a lot, but he said when I take the paddle off I'm still lifting my head up. I definitely feel like I'm at least doing better though! Have another practice tonight as well as volleyball after. That´s fast!! Impressed with your times, specially with your endurance, maintaining almost same speed in longer distances, so great! So jealous...hahaha Juan Yea - I know. I did the 200 in 4:39 and was working hard! Great job Nicole! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by firebert ! Me - first workout in over a week last night (not counting shoveling snow which we have plenty of). Quality time on the bike trainer. I mixed in some actual timed interval efforts. Still probably not a 'real' trainer workout, at least so the watch tells me - my recovery status was between 'undertrained' and 'balanced'. I was on for almost an hour and sweating my bum off but the only time I get my HR into Z3 is during the efforts. I have a much harder time getting the HR up on the bike than I do on the run or in the pool. Anyone else have this? I know bike HRs are usually lower but like 5-10bpm for a given zone not 20-25 like me... Hmm. That makes me wonder if you're working as hard on the bike as you could. I can understand the swimming because you're not Michael Phelps and the run because it's the run but maybe a low hr on the Bike will let you push harder on that segment to improve your time. Just a thought... |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Nicole - almost blew off today's yoga/core workout but didn't want to give you the pleasure of beating me. I may fall short - but it won't be today. ALthough we need to find a new penalty for me - I can't drink beer or else my trainer will break up with me - I'm liking this challenge. It's on Raven's fan! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Today I had a good workout. 30 minutes on the bike. 20 on the treadmill walking with an elevation of 8 and a speed of at most 4.0 (I dropped it down to 3.5 to catch my breath), and 20 minutes of walking in the pool. 62 days to Boston. I will get my medal and yellow jacket (and check one off the bucket list even if the training is a little crazy! |

Member 2831 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Hi all! In New Orleans for a conference this week. No workouts yet (foot still tender), but I did find a great beer last night. The Gnarly Barley by the Gnarly Barley brewing co. It was dark, not bitter and the best part was it came in a giant plastic cup I could take to go!! Not kidding, one quart of beer that I took out of the bar and carried to the reception at my conference, where they were charging $12 for a bottle of bud light. I call that a win! Looks like everyone is training hard--keep it up!!! |

I know bike HRs are usually lower but like 5-10bpm for a given zone not 20-25 like me... One would think... My perceived effort is high though on the efforts - and I'm sore still a day and a half later so I know I was working. It's also early in the year, and I haven't been on the bike much yet. Maybe all that marathon training really paid off and my HR zones have changed. This time of year is time for all the tests right? |

| 1007 DeLand, Florida | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Hey Dave - I know you've got Boston on the mind, and rightly so! I just bought a full sleeved wetsuit for the chilly early June spring fed lake water at the Harvest Tri https://maxperformanceonline.com/harvesttri/ Going to register soon I think. I need to get stuff on the calendar to plan out my offseason workouts based on when my training plan will start. |

Expert 4632 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Just posted my 3-week post surgical update on my blog here, long story short progressing but not as fast I as would like (but that's probably my problem LOL). I see my surgeon Friday and will have a better prognosis at that point. |

Looking towards hitting 2018 relatively pain-free, a plan to manage my chronic back issues (I am almost 50...) and with no restrictions - haven't had that situation since October of 2014. If I'm riding the bike, walking/hiking, and swimming this summer, I'll consider it a success. Running takes longer after this surgery - I need to rebuild all of the core strength I've lost over the past few months to be able to stabilize my back while running. If I can run a 5K by the end of the year and not be worried about it then I'm all good. |

Yes! What is the new penalty?! Hopefully neither of us need it, but just in case  Maybe a raw kale penalty? If you miss one you have to eat a bowl of raw kale without dressing. |

| 1966 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Boot Camp this morning. It crushed me. I left feeling completely spent and could barely hold the steering wheel (have to hold it at the bottom so my arms rest on my legs...). Did a HIIT cycling class last night too and was definitely feeling it in my legs. Still haven't bought a trainer. I really need to get on that. Although I'm pretty sure winter is over and I should just suck it up and go outside and bike! |

| 193 , California | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Another 4:30 am run today. Hate that inhale to be at work by 6:00, but it is what it is. See a lot of New Orleans chatter. My favorite city in the US. If anyone wants the best po boy samdwhich ever, in a dark nasty place with a scary waitress that does a shot with every table that orders their own shots.... go to Coops. Definitely the opposite of a tourist trap! Also Jean Lafittes is a must, especially late at night when the old piano guy is playing. For a little fancier dinner Emerils place was fantastic. Think he might have a couple and I forget the one we went to, but can try to do some googling later on. Man I miss New Orleans!! -Matt |

| 16 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Way to go everyone at keeping at it. This week I did a 5k run on Monday with some weight lifting, Tuesday more weights and about 1,100 yards in the pool. It was a bit chilly and I was definitely lacking motivation but glad I did it. Ate too much Valentines candy yesterday. I can't have that crap in the house. Once I start I can't stop. I am an all or nothing type person so for me to not eat sugar I can't see it. Wish I had more self control in that respect. Happy humpday, weekend is only a few short days away. |

There's a 40K TT I did a couple of years ago in July |
