Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open (Page 41)

This past weekend I went to Grimsby, ON with my wife to support her while she ran the Irongirl women's triathlon. She, my Mom, my step-mom, and a friend of ours all ran it. 500m/20km/5km distance. My wife landed a respectable 1:37. She was one of the first 20 people out of the water and had a strong bike but her run is slower than average so she lost time there. My mom unfortunately had mechanical issues on the bike, fortunately they happened near to where I was watching along the bike course so I managed to fix the problem, twice. My step-mom, Cathy, however, killed it. It was her first triathlon ever and this is the first year she's ever been on a road bike. She came in 75th overall (out of 800) and 15th in her age group (out of 120). She was in the 40-45 AG, the largest group in the field. Our friend Christina came 220 overall. This too is her first year in triathlon and second triathlon (she did a Try-a-tri earlier in the year). She got a 5km PB on the run portion. 

David - Are you in Canada already? Are you driving? If so, what route are you taking? I can offer some fun stops and places to check out. When do you arrive in Tremblant? Drink a Beau's while you're in Ontario. Also try Dead Elephant IPA, brewed near London where I currently reside. Named so because it is brewed by the Railway City Brewing company, which itself is named for the nickname of the town where Jumbo the elephant died (killed by train). Hence Dead Elephant IPA. Also try anything by the Muskoka Brewing company. Also try Hogsback, brewed in Ottawa around the corner from my old apartment. All these can be found at your local LCBO. Also, if you must drink Molson, wait until you're in Quebec and get yourself a Molson Export. I don't know if its the water or what, but Ex tastes better in Quebec.

Fill up on Gas before crossing to Quebec, its cheaper in Ontario. 

Congrats on the race.  It's always good to see improvement!

Great job on the race!

I had a good weekend of training. On Saturday I went for a 24 mile ride that included a "rabbit" to chase. I couldn't match his more experienced hill climbing but on the flats I was able to chase him down a couple of times and let him draft for a while. Even while he was drafting I had a "need to push harder!" mentality to make his draft worthwhile. He offered to pull but I declined since my next couple of races are not draft legal. Sunday was a nice slow 8 mile run out to my favorite beach and back.

Next week I'll be in on a work trip to just south of Nashville, TN. Anyone have any beer recommendations from that area I should try? I'm going to do some running to keep my training moving forward, hopefully the high humidity won't slow me down too much.

Best of luck this weekend!  All the training will be paying off!

You are going to do great! Looking forward to the race and beer reports.

Good luck to David and Alan this weekend. Looking forward to tracking both of you during the race! Warm coors light or acold fin du monde bier from unibroue!! Remember to enjoy the experience!
