Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) --Always Open (Page 29)

And finally for those of you who STILL haven't written your race reports...

Day 5 into my training plan and so far so good, though it is REALLY easy so far as this is the Preparation week.  Five days in a row getting up before 6 AM and training on four of them (got in a lunchtime treadmill and short swim today).  Tomorrow I'm going off script to participate in Reggie's ride on Zwift.  I think like 20K riders are doing it.  10 AM Eastern time if any of you Zwifties are interested.

Hope everyone had a great week.  Next week is a huge week for me at work where we deliver the material I've been working on for a year. 

Yeah I think "trip to Miami" to party isn't a great food plan. 

Week 2, adding a little bit more volume and some organized rides vs. just freewheeling around in Zwift as I felt like it.  I got into a fight with my Tacx this morning as both TrainerRoad and Zwift were having trouble controlling it, but I got a decent 30+ minute ride in.  Quick run afterwards and some strength work.

The kickoff for my big work event went great, then we had someone who was presenting later in the day try to bail.  That wasn't received well.  LOL

Hi, all.  Got in another decent week of training, hitting the TSS targets.  Still relatively low volume.  My implementation went well last week now we have to run the support center for a couple of weeks, so still busy but not insane like the last month.  We're headed down to DC on Thursday to see Genesis - yes, I'm old - so excited about that but it'll throw a little wrench into the training plan for a couple of days. 

@Andrew - our weather sucks here now too, and will until May.  Hopefully you'll get into your summer shortly.

Nice work, Andrew. 

I did a run through of Neokyo yesterday doing the Wandering Flats course twice through...I like it...it's different, but actually the whole thing kinda looks the same.  The Arcade is cool. 

I had a pretty good week considering my travel.  Genesis was a great show though it's a little sad seeing Phil Collins look so feeble (he has degenerative nerve disease).  We did a lot of walking (drinking ) around DC and Old Town Alexandria but I managed to get in a gym workout on Saturday morning before the train ride home.  Still no swimming but I'll get around to it.

We're staying put for Thanksgiving as usual so I should get in a good week but I'm also getting my Covid booster so that might knock me down for a day or so.

Nathalie....you're crazy.  If my elementary school math is right that's 43*F +/-.  What the hell is wrong with you???  

Hope everyone who celebrates had a nice Thanksgiving.  We do the cooking and had half of our people call out sick (not COVID...just that nasty cold running around the US, which my daughter has as well, which means I'm doomed to get it too) so we had a ton of food left over.  I have three words for you - Costco.  Apple.  Pie.  Best dessert ever.  Anyway I got in a pretty good training week...kinda haphazzard with the schedule but pushed 400 TSS for the week.  Recovery week coming up, which I'll need after a night Ravens game tonight.

@Andrew:  you're probably dealing with some mental fatigue right now.  With all the $hit you're dealing with locally it has to take a toll on you.  I'm kinda done with it myself and all the theater around it is getting annoying. 

Now the US media is panicking over the Omicron variant, even though there's no indication that's it's resistant to vaccines or more severe than Delta.  Whatever gets eyeballs and clicks I suppose.  Uncle Joe is supposed to talk to us about it today.
