It is. Only 20 yards long and the chlorine is overwhelming. Yeah, I will try to avoid that one...blah |

It would cost me $25, is two blocks away, and another block to a MUP along the river - so that's an easy decision should my schedule prove flexible enough. I'm jealous of you men being able to do lunchtime workouts. That's great that your company offers that, and that it is so close! Even if you were to go after work, it's probably nice that it's so close and it will be harder to talk yourself out of it if you bring all your gym stuff with you  |

| 2126 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Got an okay run in today. It was more of a social run and I had a hard time finding people to run with that would push me the way I needed. But it was a beautiful morning and I'm just glad I got out there. Heading up to PA tonight to hang out with my parents, then have my first two hand touch football game of the season tomorrow (pretty excited!). I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! |

Welcome if you want to do some work! Wow, everyone. @ Juan - how's the wine harvest looking this year, should be soon, right? Juan I'd love to help out with a wine grape harvest sometime - you know they actually have vacations where you PAY to do that in Napa/Sonoma? My wife's cousin's husband has a vineyard and winery in western Virginia; I've heard all about his harvests. Tell him we should exchange some wine some day!! |

I think it's brilliant for companies to offer this. If they provide medical benefits as well then theoretically your employees would hopefully be healthier and happier equating to being more productive and missing less work due to illnesses. That is a huge perk in my opinion, good for you!! |

Way to crush that workout and getting up early in the morning to do it! DQ Today's training was an hour on the trainer at 530 AM with about 40' riding sweet spot, and a 2500 SCY lunch swim which was brutal. I used one of the workouts on Sara McLarty's blog - I think that woman is trying to kill me. She's a former pro triathlete and now a full-time Masters and tri coach in Central Florida. Her archived blog is here: http://mastersswimworkoutsbysaramclarty.blogspot.com/ There are hundreds of swim workouts there - she's pretty focused on triathletes, too, so only the "A" workout sets will focus on non-free work. This winter, I want to learn how to do fly, and a proper (as in not just survival) breaststroke to accompany my crappy backstroke. Oooo, this looks good! Thanks for posting it! |

Holy heck was that COLD!! I didn't last long. After my dip I took a long walk to get back to the house I'm staying at, so I'm gonna call today good and hope my toes turn back to their normal color soon. Holy smokes that sounds cold (and yet awesome! I bet it was beautiful)! I saw Pike's Peak has already received snow out there! |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Dropped by PT's yesterday to square a bill and his client was late/no show so he slid me into the time slot. It was my first time back since before IMMT. Holy cow I was crying when he was stretching me out. My piriformis and my obturator internus are messed up and he thinks I may have some tendinitis going on in there too. I'm hoping to get it cleared up soon, I'm itching to get back at it. About the only thing I can do (other than lifting upper body) is to swim with a pull buoy. I'm hoping to get to the pool at some point soon, feeling like a caged animal. An old flight school friend of mine is coming to visit next week and bringing his road bike....which is awesome....except that I probably won't be able to ride with him. I've got a few days so we shall see how it goes. Work is super busy. Flew today with a couple of students and it was beautiful out - blue skies and just starting to see a few hints of the sugar maples turning red. So pretty. |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Ah, forgot to mention. Flo had their 4 hour sale before their regular ordering. I missed it. I sat there watching the time click by on the clock just wishing my paycheck came one week earlier from the college and three weeks earlier from the flight school (they pay once a month, it's a PIA). I could have had a nice Flo 90 rear wheel for $450. Next year maybe. |

Maybe soon, though. |

I just got for my birthday the Garmin Vector S2, impressed with my friends and now need to set it up and see if it really helps! I see a lot of enthusiasm here about power measurements and never though about it, but after getting it as a present, should go into it. Juan |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Glad to see that it's busy in here these days. Just goes to show what a fine group we have this year! Had a better week this week food wise. Only had really one bad day brought on by trying to master 5th grade math (that's what I'm teaching these days). I polished off an entire thing of cookies. Not good. But I'll take 6 good days than 6 bad ones like I've been having recently. Where I feel short was working out. I only had 3 workouts and that isn't cutting it. I need to do better this week. Part of my issue is not having a race to train for... John - when you're done rooting for the pats wanna find a race to do together? |

| 2126 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Had a crazy weekend! Saturday I played in a touch football game (that was my cardio for the day :-) Followed by a lot of beer, a couple parties, and the Os game (beautiful night for it!). Sunday morning woke up early and biked around the Patterson Park, which is a few blocks from my house. Lots of figure 8s later, we went about 11 miles at a slower pace (was chatting and such with the girl I was riding with). Then we went to swim, but I wish I had just gone myself b/c I had lessons and was trying to rush her, but she took her time, so I only got about 500 or 600 meters in before my lesson showed up. Was going to run this morning but it was raining pretty hard, so hoping to get a run in tomorrow morning, then possibly going up to the course tomorrow evening to swim and bike it. I also need to take my bike in to have some work done before the race. Busy busy! Going to take it in Wednesday b/c I'm heading to Jacksonville for the weekend (going to the Ravens vs. Jaguars game...they have pools and cabanas in their stadium, and we have one of the cabanas for 50 Ravens fans :-), so hopefully it is all fixed up by the time I get back from that! |

Expert 4924 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open New toy: it's a DT Swiss rim for now but I'm getting a Flo 30 rim and Sapim X-ray spokes.

Are you looking on a phone or iPad? Those are notorious for problems viewing pictures here. It's no big deal - just a Powertap hub. |

Expert 4924 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Got in an hour on the trainer at o-dark-thirty and a 3300y swim last evening. Since our pool closed, my daughter and I moved to a different location. OMG the kids are so freakin' fast there. My daughter was COOKED!! Feeling pretty good in the pool...I'm holding low- to mid- 1:40s, even on my longer intervals. I think I could throw down a pretty good Oly right now, minus the run of course. Thinking about aquavelos next year, though I'd be pretty aggravated if I did a 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile bike and quit with only 5-6 hours of HTFU away from completing an Ironman. |

| 423 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open I did a 16.5km on Sunday. First 10km was 4:50/km Last 6km I did with my wife at 5:55/km. That was the longest run I've done since Ironman Tremblant 2014. I was sore on Monday. I'm running a half in October in Gatineau Park. It's a super hilly course so I need to get out and do some hill training. I hate offseason. |

| 193 , California | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Frustrating day today. Brought my swim bag to work to sneak out at lunch and was all the way at the gym getting changed when I realized I forgot my goggles. So then after I decide to leave to other gym and there was a one hour aqua fit class taking up the pool that had just started. I was at the gym TWICE today and have zero workouts. Having a beer instead. -Matt |

Expert 4924 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open 60' on the trainer this morning testing out the new PM. Ugh...gotta drop my FTP like 20-30 watts. The tempo efforts (70-80% FTP) felt like sweet spot from an RPE/HR perspective. Going to drop from 300 to 280 and see how that works. I'll do a test at some point, though I'm not ready to throw up on the bike just yet. |
