New user  669    Madrid |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPENOriginally posted by jmhpsu93 First 5:30 AM workout in like, I dunno, six months? 50 minutes on the trainer while my wife did some crazy Cindy Crawford workout DVD from the early 90s. It's like borderline porn LOL. Anyway, REALLY struggling on the trainer vs. feeling pretty good on the spin bike. I think I've lost 40 watts off my FTP since November. I used to be able to use the big ring all the time minus WU/CD, but now I have to stay in the small ring to stay aerobic. Oh, and I was cleared to swim. Again. Good news, Mike! |
Hopefully it goes better this time. LOL| 2017-04-16 2:36 PM in reply to: lowdon |

(now you've got me wondering if I should have a go at truing mine ... What could possibly go wrong..?)
Congrats Ben! Juan |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by ligersandtions I've been MIA for a bit....work's been a bit crazy and I'm actually getting ready to head out on a riding/running vacation. Starting with three days of riding Texas Hill Country tomorrow, and then heading out to Big Bend National Park for some more riding, running, hot spring lounging, picture taking fun
I finally finished up my race report from Galveston 70.3: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=546739&posts=1#M5218319
Hope the training, racing, traveling, and recovering is going well for everyone....and hope everyone is enjoying the occasional adult beverage! There is a brewery out near Big Bend that I'll be hitting up next week Thanks for posting, really detailed!! Juan |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by firebert Hey All just checking in. Getting closer and closer to my first Tri of 2017 and the start of Race Season. June 10th everything gets rolling... I'm ready - I could race a sprint right now - but none of my 3 disciplines are anywhere near where I want them. My swim is as slow as ever, though I can swim longer easier. Just need a lot more pool time to work on speed but of course life constantly interferes. I need 3 swims a week and I'm lucky to get one. Also feeling like I need 3 bikes and 3 runs a week. I just don't have time with family and life stuff. Keep waiting for it to let up and it keeps not happening. I think I'm going to have to start adopting early morning workouts, which I've never had to resort to in the past... I feel like I had more time for training last year even while overlapping with my wife's crazy 70.3 training. And this year she's not working out at all. I think I may be just letting life get in the way and putting my workouts as lowest priority. I gotta stop that - any tips? Life gets in the middle, no doubt: but I write my workouts for all week in my daily agenda, and end up doing about 80% of them. Some are "musts" like long bike on Sunday, long run on Saturday, and long swim on Tuesday. Rest are important, but hey, work about 10 hours per day, 2 kids with extra activities, travel, family plans...so not "that" important. As far as the key training sessions are done, I feel good (and end up doing other shorter sessions). Juan |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by Tavo2311 Mike - you sure got that right about two a days. I'm quickly learning that right now.... Speaking of which, had my ocean swim this morning followed by my two hour long run this afternoon. This was my longest run in years and while it wasn't "fun" there was a real sense of accomplishment when it was over. Tomorrow morning is 3h45m ride, which I have to complete by 10am if we're gonna make church in time. Then I will have a 30 minute recovery jog later in the day. How's everyone's weekend? -Matt Getting closer to your IM, Matt! Today I did 120 km on the bike, and felt really good - not really fast (25km/h mean speed) but starting to have the impression that I will finish the race in July.... Juan |

| 193 , California | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Nice job Juan. I did 55 miles today (so about 88km). Haven't hit your distances yet. Great to hear you're building the confidence you need! Ben - sounds like a great weekend. My kids also just learned to ride their bikes recently. It's gonna be so much fun now. -Matt |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN Originally posted by drfoodlove Ha! Sadly, it is not an exaggeration. There are two of us, each with two checked bags (50# each) plus a carryon and a "personal item". I know my carryon weighed 35lbs (all the paperwork and computers for the project). 250 might be an under estimation. Made it to my site yesterday evening. It was one of the more eventful trips down from Cairo. The driver hit another car at a checkpoint, which actually turned out to not be that big of deal. Fender benders are very common here due to overly aggressive driving habits. He also hit a speed bump at 100kph. I'm not sure my back will ever be the same. That one hurt. He slowed down a little after that, but not much!! Hope everyone is doing well! Still no workout for me, but thinking about some yoga later to work out the kinks in my back and neck from travel. Hahaha - it is a beautiful country, but driving in Cairo is probably the craziest I have seen (even worse than Sicily....) - enjoy your trip! Juan |

| 1007 DeLand, Florida | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN BTW - after truing my wheel and having shifting issues,I figured out how to sort those as well. Got my bike spinning and shifting like a dream then dropped it off to sell on consignment... le sigh. Great climbing bike if anyone is looking for a 2nd bike for hill/mountain training, 10 year old Trek 5200s can be had at a relative bargain. Full Ultegra, full carbon, race geometry and geared for climbing esp if you get one with the triple front chainring. So sad I have to sell it but life and bills demand I can only own one bike |

So exciting! His fundraising ended up well over 7k as well, which is especially awesome given his goal of 5k. Been watching the coverage most of the day on TV while working. I'm sad I'm not there to cheer everyone on. |

Regular 1519 Auckland, North Island | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS)--OPEN It was a quiet week for me last week training wise. I was away from home for work, and spent many hours In the airport dealing with cancelled and delayed flights. I then spent most of the long weekend down at our family batch (Kiwi for holiday home) helping my dad take down some trees and remove the caravan spare room that had been in place for 10 years, and finally more jobs at home prepping the ex-bike-room for its transformation to nursery. So busy weekend but only ran 3 times, with no bikes. Such a lazy boy. We've got some good weather forecast this week for a change, so looking forwards to getting some more runs in, and a bike on the weekend. Hope everyone had a good (and more productive than mine) easter training. |

That is a massive amount of luggage. I shudder to think what the excess bag fees would have been... Sounds like you are on quite the adventure. Enjoy it. |
