Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open (Page 13)

Damn, that is a thing of beauty! Touring, work there, own the brewery or just sneak in for a couple of bottles?(please be owner, please be owner...)

This is not the Switchback I had...mine was Lighthouse Switchback...other side of the country, farther north!

Good job getting a run in and a beer. I have no clue to what beers are good in Latvia...I guess you will have to drink different beers every night in search of good beers!

Originally posted by Jeakins I thought I would check in too. Yesterday’s brick was tough for a newbie like me. 13 km bike followed by a 2.6 km Run. I did mention that I struggle with running didn’t I? Well I am soon off on my bike ride home. 7/28 here I go I recently discovered that according to Mapmyride I complete a Category 3 climb on the way home! PS. I am enjoying the new bike but the "easy" gear is not nearly as easy as on my mountain bike! I guess it is just time to get the legs working harder so the beer is that much more deserved

If you have a hill like that i am guessing you live west of downtown...

Have you tried any of the Hogshead beer out of Edmonton yet?

Great job on getting the workout in. Any reason you are not outside riding? Waaaay nicer riding outside...well except for Alberta where it is supposed to be a high of 48F with rain and a low of 36 tomorrow night...

Spent a few days in Missouri canoeing and living on the Jack's Fork River.  Now back to the grind.  Got in a short 4 mile run yesterday with a little pain on my lateral left foot.  No worries, installing a new saddle on my ride right now!

Good luck to those racing this weekend!  

One question: I can't get a picture to post.  I'm going through "Insert/edit image" button then in "source" I'm putting the directory and name of the picture.  For example "C:/Users/Green/Desktop/triglass.jpg".  But the picture isn't showing up.  Any ideas?

8/28 with a quick swim before bike this morning.

Planned run for lunch today and tomorrow in jeopardy. I have a return of Achilles pain...swimming is fine. bike is okay. running no go.

cracked open the medicine cabinet and hoping to get it under control asap. Cannot afford downtime now!

Looks good.  My name is Matt

For my third post in a row a little update.  I spent the last two days in Atlanta on a mini family vacation.  Yesterday we spend the day at Six Flags Whitewater.  Did not get any laps in but I think that was the toughest workout I have done all year!

It's back to real training tonight.  I have a 1 hour bike scheduled.

Just finished an 80km hill training ride. The area I live in is fairly flat so I had to create a zig zagging course that allowed me to hit the same big hills on different lines. It was also a very windy day so I made the most of it by sitting up and riding into the wind to get some more 'hill' training. 

Have you had Nickel Brook Headstock IPA? I have no idea how it is. Just googled microbrewery/Hamilton and came up with this....

Windy is right!  I don't think the wind has even slowed down in my area all year!  It's like uphill on flats!

Thanks Matt!

I got this set of six glasses at the last marathon I did and wanted to show them off.  One lady behind the table said to the other, "See, bring all your stuff out.  You never know what will sell."  I replied, "Yeah, you never know when a home brewing triathlete might show up for a marathon."

Originally posted by Juancho Yes, wine -specially red- is full of antioxidants and resveratrol, great for aging. But mainly, great to drink, share and enjoy with family and friends (very much like our sport). This days in India for work, so just 30min run on the gym -booooring-, can´t wait to get back home (Spain) on Monday for a long run. Kingfisher is the main beer here, nothing that would impress you guys. Latvian beers! ...so ignorant... Good luck for those racing this weekend!

Originally posted by aviatrix802 Wine is good! Nothing wrong with wine - antioxidants, right?! I have a case of red delivered to my house every other month! (hey, it's my only "subscription") haha 4/28 with a ride today. Same 20+ miler in 1:14. Sunny and rolling hills. Interesting side note - I passed an opposite direction cyclist, waved hello and about 5 minutes later he pulled up next to me on the ride. Turns out he's a 1K2Go team cyclist and we had a great chat on the way back in including some training tips. The first half of my ride was not impressive at all - felt whipped, but chatting it up I turned the second half into my first even split ever on that route without "feeling it". I was pretty psyched! He mentioned they need more females on their team which happens to be sponsored by Felt - which happens to be the brand bike I have which happens to be the cyclist's opening line - "hey, nice Felt!" LOL Anyway, had to share because even when a workout might start out crappy, you never know what may come of it. Cheers all! Jenn

Just got home from India a 1.5 weeks ago.  Lots of time in the hotel gym, very Booring!

Kingfisher is not what I would call a good beer.
