Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed (Page 2)

Good to see you Darren! Will be in your neck of the woods this weekend...Canmore. Going to bike the Banff legacy trail with my bride!

You sound like me, I just needed to get outside finally!

News update.  Just walked in from the doctor.  The swelling is gone and I can start back up.  My tendonitis is acting up so I am not doing anything for a week or so while I stretch it out and fix it.  He said the tightness is just a tendon issue and I will be fine just take it slow and as I build it will get better.

Is it because we are in the staging area that I can toggle on notification when people post?

Yea, I'm finally starting to feel it again.  better things to come.

Well Yoga class didn't happen today but that's fine.  Headed to the pool later.  It's a done deal on the 4 for the week.  Today will be 3 and I have stroke refinement this weekend.  I may head out for a walk/run tomorrow since BT coach thinks it will loosen up the tendon and keep it from getting stiff if I take it easy.

Rus - that kind of avatar will get you extra super duper bonus points with David and the others.  I never got a chance to say welcome.....so I will now....welcome 

That's one of the things I like about endurance - your floor is my ceiling.  My tempo 5k was around an 8:00 flat pace, with an average heart rate north of 175.

Went riding with one of my friends, who is a Cat 5 cyclist.  37ish miles, 2:20, 15.5mph pace, and a lot of work at/near LTHR.  I feel great now, and I'm sporting a nice set of chainring gashes on my left calf, which I didn't notice at the time, and only realized it was there when I was showering and I rubbed the "grease" off only to find a goodly amount of blood flowing.  Fun times.

jlangene - 2013-05-08 10:07 AM Finally got back on the bike this morning for an easy 10 mille ride... About mile 1 the darn knee started hurting.i thought I had rested enough but guess not.well I did finish the ride anyway and the further I got into the ride the less it hurt. Of course now sitting at my office desk it hurts. > maybe it just doesn't like sitting still...

Ouch.  Only advise I can give is what I have learned here.  Ice, stretch, and ice again.  Oh did I mention ice already?   Remember what Charles said...2 full days after 100%.  Personally I like to give myself more but once bitten twice shy for me.

Charles - don't let Kevin's "Usain Bolt" like pace get you down.  We have much better taste in beer.

David, stop picking on the  kenyan, I mean Kevin...

Well coached my first triathlon swim class last night. Tonite bike...

Went to physio again today...still no progress, so tired of this...

Off to Banff this weekend...going to do some beautiful biking between Banff and Canmore!

Enjoy the ride and the beer!  Good luck with that nerve - gotta suck!

I don't know if this helps - but you're in good company.  Half of us are nursing aches and pains.  Kudos to you for getting back on the bike.

So' I'm tapering for my sprint this weekend and nursing a sore knee.  I got in a good trail run yesterday and a swim that turned out to be a little painful.

I started to feel the pain on the first lap in my left shouldier.  I've been swimming for a while and never felt anything like this.  The pain wasn't intense - it was just different.  I thought it might be that I hadn't warmed up (although I had run first) so I stopped to stretch.  That didn't help.  I tried to think if I had hurt it recently and couldn't remember anything.  In fact - it had felt great over the weekend.  So the only thing I could think of was that my chiro visit the day before and knocked something out of whack.  

Question - has this ever happened to you?  Its the only thing I can think of.

I'm super pumped.  It looks like I may be back in business for my Grand Columbian HIM distance tri in September.  I'd originally thought it wouldn't work with kid #3 and my hip, but the hips on the mend and my wife is o.k. with it, so it looks like it's a go.  It's in mid September, so I still have time to train for it.  Now I just have to finish up grad school and schedule a snip-snip, and It'll be back to training! 

I had a buddy's home brewed imperial IPA this weekend.  It's only sat for a couple months, so it hadn't fully aged, but it was still pretty darn good.  Can't wait to try in a month or so.  David, what exactly happens when you let it sit for longer?  How does that improve on the flavor?

Get your stretches in and re-evaluate. I occasionally get some shoulder pain swimming...not that I have swam lately! i am pumped for your race this weekend!

Kick some a$$!

That is a good woman you have married! have fun getting sliced and diced! 

Last nights ride was great, upped the pace quite a bit over just about the same distance.  I have a little more confidence in my knee, so I was able to push more.  No ill effects.

Then I helped a coworker move a filing cabinet this morning, and tweeked my hamstring.  What the eff.... Pretty tired of always hurting myself.

Had a Smuttynose IPA last night.  Damn, that stuff is tasty!
