Beer Drinkers' Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2020 Version - ALWAYS OPEN (Page 24)

My department had a conclave in Philly a few years ago and about 20 of us got up and ran from the hotel and up and down the stairs...really fun.

Oh, Gretchen...that sounds awful.    I had a GF years and years ago who had migraine problems and I couldn't believe how debilitating it was.  Glad you're feeling better and nailing your (new, harder) target numbers.

Got in a couple good trainer rides the last two days...60' on Wednesday as a pyramind workout and then 45'+ yesterday with 30" sprints followed by 1' @ 95%.  Harder than it sounds.  Legs are toast today so it'll be a recovery Z2 ride today.  Weather has settled into mid-50s and breezy every day - UGH.

So sorry to hear that Gretch - migraines suck! Take it easy as you recover.

Virtual race on Zwift yesterday, about middle of the pack in C category.  15+ mile flat race, went out a little too fast and got dropped by the lead groups but found a groove and a group of six of us worked together and I came in second in the sprint out of that group.  That hurt.  And I'm a little sore today.

Easy trainer recovery ride today and maybe some core work. 

@Gretchen - that's a long day! 

Glad you're back and feeling better, Nathalie.  As for the working together part, Zwift simulates and outdoor riding experience (including the effect of inclines and wind resistance on your speed), so if you're in a tight group you get a peloton effect.  You take turns "pulling" or riding really hard at the front, then riding easier in the back.  Problem is that these are all random people thrown together in the race (with some exceptions where some teams enter together) so it takes some time to get a group together.

I hear ya! I do it when I exercise but don't think I've ever done it on a day i haven't ridden. Oops! 

Managed my longest ride since gubbing my leg just over 6 miles, then a bunch of arm/core/rehab. 

How everyone else doing?

Today was another Zwift race, a 12-lap criterium of a 2km flat-ish course with one small climb.  I mistakenly thought it was 10 laps so I was very heartbroken when I realized the last lap I thought I was about to start was actually 3rd to last.  LOL

105th/130 in C category - this was a really big, tough field.  I executed the race pretty well but would up in a hole between a couple of groups.  No sprint needed at the end, thank goodness.  Great workout nonetheless. 

Mike, that sounds brilliant! Well done

Well done gretch! 

I did a 6.5 mile ride then snuck in some core work before drinking beer and watching Wynnona Earp on netflix party. My mates and I are all in love with Officer Haught

Nicely done 15' @ 95-100% is no joke. 

Yah, there are some real jacka$$es on Zwift, especially on the racing side.  Weight doping and the like.  I'm all about bringing the full 200 lbs. of my awesomeness  and should eat a few less cookies if I want to climb or accelerate better.

You not that locked down where you are? Enjoy!!!!

I managed a seven mile ride and thirty minutes of core/arms/rehab.
