Tequila, Ketel One, or Crown Royal don't go down so easy when you're that thirsty after a race, so I drink beer. Once I feel rehydrated and cooled down, I usually grill some ribs, make some homemade mac and cheese, and some margaritas from scratch. Rocks with kosher salt. Yum.

bryancd - 2009-10-06 6:43 PM So let me see if I got this right. You ask why do people enjoy a beer after a race. You then put forth your own opinion that beer isn't healthy and it's a poor choice, but your not bashing anyone. Did I get that right? You may want to title your post what you are really saying, which is "people who drink beer after a race are stupid" as you seem to have an opinion about this you want to put forth.

I love beer. I'll have a beer or two sitting by my pool on the weekends or whenever I feel like it. I like it, you don't. I'm sure there a lot of things you do that I wouldn't do, but so what. Why do you even care? You say it's a waste and has no value to you. Who cares? You are looking for people to justify something they do that you don't agree with.

My sentiments as well... I tend not to have one right after a workout, but fresh of mowing the lawn, you betcha ya.  Grill running in the evening with some chicken, salmon, buffalo, etc. dern skippy.  Love a tasty beer or two.

I totally agree with Bryan and almost everyone else who posted on this awesome thread. I will add that I believe triboy 20 will understand the beauty of beer when he becomes triMAN 21!

I completely disagree with both of you.  The OP worded his post very politely and just expressed the reasons why he didn't followed by asking why others did.  He was far from calling anyone stupid.

My fault...I kinda hijacked the thread after searching for 'beer'.  I wanted to post about my upcoming homebrew and didn't think it deserved it's own thread.

Not at all.  Beer post workout is MUCH more applicable to my Tri training than anything to do with Kona!

PennState - 2010-08-12 10:49 AM Do we need a separate 'beer forum' now? This is almost as out of place in tri talk as the Kona thread lol


Please do not scare away the beginner beer drinkers, Fred.

MMMMMMMMMM . . . . Beer good!!!!  I guess I could personally argue that Tequila (agave nectur) is better, but that's me.  I like it, it tastes good.  I see people ingesting certain products that are marketed to help recovery, but to me, they taste like ________, and I'd rather consume the adult beverage.  I'll take an extra 10 minute nap to gain the recovery time I need.

I didn't read all the posts, but even my owner's manuel for my P2 says that riding it at excessive speeds or in racing conditions is hazerdous to my health and puts a person at risk of death.   I guess if I worried about everything in life that might have slightly or large hazerdous affects on me, I wouldn't be doing much of anything.

Fred is obviously an elitist for jumping right into a beer forum.  Being a beginner, I would suggest the discussion be about Shirley Temples first.

I cannot think of a single reason other than it tastes really freakin' good......

and honestly, I don't think 1-2 beers every so often is bad for you.......


At mile 12 at LP, I saw some spectators enjoying some pops, and I wanted one SOOOO bad.  At mile 23 I saw them and had no desire!

But after the last finishers around 12:00, we went to Wise Guys, and at 1:00 AM  I had 2 beers.  And a cheesburger.  Wtih Bacon. And onion rings.  And French Fries.  And I dipped my onion rings in ranch dressing.  full on fat ranch dressing.

best 2 beers I've ever had.

I don't imagine it was good for me, but man it felt really good!!
