Regular 302 Georgetown, KY | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed 17/31 Today! No doubt I'll make the challenge now! I did 1500 yards in the pool this morning. With all the indoor work, the swim is by far my favorite activity right now. It's pretty relaxing to climb in that pool after a hard night at work. And, to my surprise, there is no new years crowd at my pool, just me and 2 other guys both times I have been! Now I'm about to head to my parents and I'll have my first beer in days, a Stella no doubt (dad's favorite). Keep up the great work everybody! |

After a day like this I definitely deserve a beer I'd say you deserve 2 beers but since I think your rubbing my nose in your nice warm temps (it's 7 degrees out and I've still got to walk the dog), I say you take your 1 beer and like it! |

Regular 302 Georgetown, KY | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed How is the push-up challenge going for everybody else? Still in it? My chest trembled for a while today after I did week 3 day 2. 100 push-ups just not consecutively! |

Expert 1662 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed BT's rad. I like the forums. I have found much info about local races on the state thread, and met up with a few bt'ers at races. I've also found the Ironman training thread invaluable when I was training for my half. I learned tons of insight about how to approach my first tri, as far as training, what to wear, how to hydrate/nutrition, and transition. 16/31 today. 1200 speed workout in pool. I'm up to 8 100's. a few at 1:58. whittling it back down. Trader Joes Hefe' tonight. |

Do you just create a race report and leave it blank? I did it by going to the my races link in my training log (upper right corner near your picture). On that page, use the Add Race button (also, upper right corner) and follow the directions. It will show as a draft race report in your race log and put a green square on your training log.

Member 3098 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed 18/31--30min trainer spin intervals this morning, followed by core work and some yoga poses for stretching. This is last night's post-date workout, but I didn't get it in because the movie was WAY longer than I thought it was, so we didn't get home until late. BTW...we saw Wolf of Wall Street, which was pretty good, but very long and there were many, many swear words (but not in an unnecessarily gratuitous way). Today is supposed to be my rest day, but I'm toying with the idea of a lunchtime swim. We have a knitting party at the house tonight and since I don't knit, I usually spend these parties drinking and snacking. I could probably use the extra calorie burn! What say you BDAAS? Does a girl really need a rest day every week? |

I love the fact that your so motivated to work out every single day. I would caution you to not overdo it so early in your training. Your body needs down time to repair the muscle tissue that you broke down. Its Friday. why don't you do some curls. Start with 12 ounce burn outs. Each rep take a sip and the weight magically disappears. |

Does a girl really need a rest day every week? Rest is when our body does it's recovery and the fitness gains are realized. All that hard work you put in starts to take hold. I find for a rest day it doesn't mean I need to stay still I sometimes do an active recovery and keep my ride at a guilty feeling speed. Kind of the speed where you would put a basket and bell on the bike. If it were a run I was doing I wouldn't run but walk instead and a swim would look like 3:00/100 with some breast strokes in there just to be in the water. So if you feel you must do a workout do all of this at an RPE of a 1-2. Just one step above laying down and sleeping  Then again there will be some days where I need to actually do nothing but lay around. Your body will know when just make sure you listen to it and not push through. |

Expert 1662 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed My rest day usually comes when I've pi$$ed out on my workout. This usually happens at least once a week. Life happens, and there's no way around it. When actively training, your body will tell you to rest. Especially when your efforts get longer in the build phase of training. 17/31 this morning with 40 minutes on the trainer. I lost 2 lbs. yesterday and am down to 196. Hoping to keep that steady through the weekend. |

Does a girl really need a rest day every week? Like everything it depends. Swimming has such a low TSS (training stress score) that it probably won't hurt. The real issue isn't today thought - it's four days from now, when the stress accumulate throws off a tough workout later on in the training cycle. That being said, I've had a lot of 10- and 14-day workout blocks, and I can feel the need for the rest day coming. Right now, my coach's program has two days off per week, and I haven't felt tired or sore yet. |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Frig, woke up this morning with sore achilles. walking around with a limp. Did some run sprints yesterday and plyo jumps after spin...no issues right after. A bit sore last night but more so this morning. Hoping this is temporary, as in feeling better tomorrow! Going to hit the NSAIDS and ice tonite. Going to try go for a swim right after work and see how that goes. Have a great weekend everyone! |

Regular 866 Central Coast, CA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed What I like about BT: I found BT when I was getting ready for my first sprint triathlon in fall of 2012. The forums, race reports, and "my first triathlon" articles were a wealth of information and helped prepare me for things like what to wear and how to set up transition, etc. Now that I have more experience finding this mentor group is taking my participation on BT to a new level. I can post workouts, talk about beer, be motivated and help motivate. For today's workout I'll be swimming 1500m. This weekend will have some rest on Saturday then hopefully a medium distance run on Sunday (5-6 miles, depending on how foot feels). I usually try to go for a bike ride on Saturday however this week I'm going to be cheering for my wife as she and a friend do a 5k "color walk/run" (participants wear white shirts, spectators throw colored dye-dust as they walk/run by). She's gradually getting into the walking/running as she works towards the Disney 5k later this year so this is a big step for her. |

It is great to get the signficant other invovled in parts or all of triathlon. S/B/R with your partner also alleviates any guilt when you are doing 3 of each/week! |

Expert 2180 Boise, Idaho | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Helloooo BaDAASses, I've been a bit distracted with work this week, so my training has suffered a bit; but It's only January, so i'm not too worried. Tuesday-workout 18/21: Track workout with my running group. 1.25 mile W/U, 6 x 800 meters (all in the 3:30/3:45 range) .25 recover. Miller Lite beer reward. Wed. I didn;t 'work out', but my 100 lb, Tasmanian Devil massage therapist worked me OVER for 55 min. If you folks haven't discovered the healing magic of Deep Tissue massage-you should, run-NOT walk, RUN to a qualified therapist and take charge of your body. I don't have disposable income-I'm a Federal employee who barely makes ends meet, but massage has gotten me healthy and so far, kept me healthy. Rant Over! Thur- 19/23-Got up early for swim. 10 x 100 (2:05/2:12) leaving in 2:35. Was gonna ride roller to West Wing, but DVD died and motivation went with it. Fri (planned)- Stair run with my group at 5:30. Hope everyone has great weekend and STAY HEALTHY! BTW: Some of people are realllyyyy dedicated-training through aches/pains, rough schedules, etc. And that's good. Just keep your perspective. It's a 'lifestyle' for most of us; it's only a "Life" for a tiny few. ENJOY!

New user 32 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed I love the Sufferfest videos! I I not up for it this year but I have the tour on the calendar for next year 100%! It has been a rough week workout wise - hubby was out of town so we were "short-staffed" on the home front lol. I haven't kept on pace to hit the workouts for January but I will for February. I was looking at my goals for the week and realized that I had put them in for next week but not this week - shows where my head is at...oh wait I can't find my head 'cause I lost it! Very happy news that saved me a pile of $$ - the local shop got my heart rate monitor working and it cost me the fantastic sum of $17.89. So I am putting the cash I saved towards the cost of getting my bike re-fitted. It has been a while and I figure it needs dialing in. I am a late adopter but I am going to join in the push-up challange. I am having a hard time adjusting to not hitting the weights (I feel like my hard-earned munscles are shrinking) I think the push-ups will give me a boost. |

Regular 866 Central Coast, CA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Sadly I only made it 800m into my 1500m swim before my leaky goggles got the best of me. They've been randomly leaky the last week or two so I decided to give up on them and got a new pair after I left the gym. In the store the new pair felt better (changed brands) so hopefully I won't have any more frustrating leaky eyes. Since I didn't make my full workout, no beer for me tonight |

Plus, it's Friday-Have a beer! It's OK. |

| 35 Lansing, Michigan | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Adding another event to the schedule. Xtera Olympic Grand Rapids MI October 5th. My training partner is a huge mountain biker so this one is for him. A couple of things could make this really tough. The west side of Michigan is notoriously sandy and The 5th of October has a high of 76 and a low of 23. Somewhere in the middle will be perfect but the low is going to make for a very interesting event. Otherwise I think it will be an awesome experience. The trail riding and trail running will make for some great scenery. If my Olymipc on June 8th goes well is 2 months a reasonable amount of time to train and cycle back up to a half Ironman? I've been toying with the idea. I'm currently gearing up to start my Olympic training on Feb 3rd but I'll be using a 70.3 18 week plan
Thoughts? |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Hi All - I'm gonna to need you to hold me accountable ... Yesterday was a rest day for me, which was good for the joints but not for willpower. Now, I just found out that we are going to the movies as a fam (gonna go see Jack Ryan - totally stoked about it) but I'm worried about getting my bike and swim in when I get home later in the afternoon. I know the couch will be so inviting... So - a warm coors light for me if I don't come home and make it happen and a ton of crap from you if I don't post a positive update by 8pm tonight. |
