Cycling Guru  15134    Fulton, MD |  Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer...Christ - 2005-11-27 10:22 AM I am a Guinness lover also... Me as well ......... The only time I order a beer at lunch is when I meet my old co-workers from my last firm and we are shooting the s--t (which is about once every month or two). But at other times I usually don't drink much at all. I'm a borderline beer snob when I do because I can't drink what I consider crud beer like Bud or Coors Light (crud to my taste buds, but certainly not to others, more power to them).

Master 1686  Royersford, PA | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... In my case the race was already going downhill and I think the beer actually helped at least mentally. Of course I kept retasting(belch) it the entire way, so I had something else to think about besides my aching legs...... |

Did someone say PORTER?  Oh god I love this stuff. Tough to get outside on Pennsylvania and some parts of Florida, though. I highly recommend buying ten or fifteen cases. |

Expert 936 Westchester County NY | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... southwestmba - 2005-11-25 7:34 PM At the Philly Marathon at about mile 19 and 21 there was a Beer Stop on the course. The folks at a local tavern were handing out ice cold beer to whom ever wanted it. After 21 miles, that was the best tasting beverage I ever tasted and it certainly made the worst 5 miles of the race easier to deal with.. Another thing I've noticed, many major races have beer gardens at the finish. I workout so I can enjoy the good things in like a cold brew. (Public Service announcement: don't drink and drive and underage drink is not legal; Please enjoy responsibly) Years ago I did the Yonkers Marathon. One of the water stations was by a firehouse, and the firefighters were manning the tables. They were passing out water, and enjoying a few cold ones at the same time. They were joking around with the runners by annoucing "water, beer, water, beer." I think they were surprised when I opted for the beer. The beer hit the spot, and gave me a nice little boost for the remainder of the race. When I did NYC in the fall I looked for beer along First Avenue, and again it gave me a nice shot in the arm for the latter stages of the race. I've never had any during a triathlon, and I don't think I would either. My triathlons take me a lot less time then any of my marathons ever did, and I don't see any benefit in a race thats taking me less then 3 hours to complete. Now I prefer my glass of wine. |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... turqy - 2005-11-27 11:03 PM so i should load up my camelback with beer for my next duathlon? Well, that involves a bike, which = vehicle, which = driving under the influence. My rowing coach told me a story about her OSU coxswain days (now, any of you former rowers can attest to the *ahem* "hydration strategies" of rowers)...she was a man short for her boat, so the coach sent them on a run to find the guy (a good 5 or 6 miles) and they ended up finding him about 2 miles away from the boathouse, face down, in a grass median, with a helmet on backwards after falling off a bike with streamers on it. Apparently, he had been trying to make it to practice. Now, I'm not a drinker, in fact, I've never drank at all. But I am going to Norhtern Ireland for 6 months, so I suppose I will learn my fair share about pub culture. The exchange student from the uni I'm staying at said, "if you don't drink, join a club or something because the student center literally IS a pub." |

| Tulsa, Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... I really enjoy a nice cold beer after a long hot bike ride......for some reason I never drink beer after a run... I have been offered beer at a couple of marathons and distance races, by some hashers ,at about mile 21....just can't do that. Although at Hotter-N-Hell 100 in Whicita Falls there is a machine shop that has cold beer waiting for whoever wants to stop at about mile 97.....taste pretty darn good at mile 97!! |

Regular 65 Lubbock, TX | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... There is nothing better here in Lubbock, but to go on a long bike ride and then end up at Hub City Brewery for a few micro brews. Especially on Wednesdays big beer night for $1.50. I really think that I workout so I can enjoy good food and good drink. |

| Expert 680 NC Illinois | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... My comment to both types of people (lovers & haters) is "It's just beer". If you like it, enjoy it ... if you don't like it, don't drink it. Simple. Some folks act like beer is "happiness in a bottle" (and it may temporarily be *grin*), other act like it's satan in liquid form. It's just a beverage. The difference among beverages is, obviously, that it contains alcohol. For that reason I would not advise consuming beer at lunch and then returning to work. I don't want to my boss to try and guess whether I had 1 or 6 (I'm goofy enough the way the is). I have drank beer(s) at lunch while eating at a bar & grill, and then returned to work. But, now, as a teacher, that's something I definately would not do. Dinner? Sure I'll have beer (or few). No biggie. I can enjoy a beer, or a diet dr. pepper or a milkshake. Just beverages. After a long ride on a hot day, a few coronas in the evening really do hit the spot (especially when grilling steak). I call that "Man Time". Edited by TripleThreat 2005-12-01 12:28 PM |

| Master 2491 | Subject: RE: Thoughts on beer... Beer is good. I try to avoid it the few days before a BIG event, but it is a healthy component to training and nutrition. A beer or few with the people you work and hang out with is a great way to find out the true nature of things. |
