 462  |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - OpenWelcome to all the new members. Swim didn't happen yesterday got hung up in morning, then helped a friend do some work on a house which took longer than I thought it would. Today was a planned day off. I will add my goals to the list. I am still planning on the rebel challenge in a few weekends for St. Judes. I made my fund raising goal thanks in no small part to all of you. 3/24 |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open You and me both! Went to doc yesterday. Said I had plantar fasciitis. Bailed on my workout this morning. Back at it tomorrow. Sitting at 7/31. Hit my one swim goal now all I need it the weight loss and consistency... Happy Hump day everyone!

Member 3048 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open I've done a lot of crazy things to get in a workout, but I never even considered getting up at 2am for one! Kudos! Still enjoying my pre-semester flexibility and getting workouts in around some general prep for the semester. Last night after going home I hopped on the trainer for a while (#6) and then this morning I hit the pool for a nice 2200 yds (#7). Plan is a run followed by yoga after work this afternoon. Was supposed to do that run this morning, but 19F wasn't tempting me at all. Should hit the lower 40s this afternoon here, so that seems like a much better time to run! Food tracking is still on the mark (day 3!!)--I find it tedious, but it really does help with weight loss. |

| Deep in the Heart of Texas | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open 7/24 with today's Noon swim. I'm going to start a new series on Netflix and only allow myself to watch it while on the bike trainer - I hope to get to the first episode tonight. |

Member 220 Wakefield, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Wow, now I feel super lazy for bailing on my 6 am run yesterday. Though in my defense, it was 9 degrees at the time. I didn't have to go into work early today though, so I managed to get in a short run with the pooch, plus a trainer session last night. I'm 3/24 for the month, and making steady progress on all three of my goals for the week. |

| 462 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Thor- hate to hear you are battling PF still. Hope if clears up soon! Gretchen- You are the most consistent person I have seen. Way to keep it up Doug- I did the same thing with SOA last year. Yes I was promoted but moved from the team to patrol thus the schedule change and loss of workout time. My hours are 5-5 so to get a 1:30 bike ride and have time to shower get dressed and drive to work it will be getting up at 0200. The good news is that on nights I get off at 0500 so the sun wont be up yet making it easier to sleep. I plan on not working out on 2 consecutive day shift work days and no 2 a days on working day shifts. training for a halves not a full will also help. I may also try to lift on working days so I can have caffeine before I workout. I am very sensitive to it and my HR will sky rocket. |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by Fourteenkittens Originally posted by Qua17 Have you thought about signing up for the Season Opener Tri in Hopkington. It's fantastic. Hopefully we can do one together. In the past the Season Opener has been on Mother's Day, and that's a no-go in my house. My wife is supportive, but not that supportive. But it looks like they're not the same weekend this year, so I'll have to give it a closer look. I've done Boston and Nantasket every year since I started racing, plus Falmouth (awesome race), Buzzard's Bay, Hero Cape Cod, and Cohasset. We just moved from Quincy to Wakefield though, so I'm in the market for some venues that aren't quite so far south. -Dennis Not on Mothers Day... I've had to have a mother's day weekend to make up for racing on Mother's Day. However - my beautiful bride did let me race on mother's day so maybe I should keep up the weekend! :_ How about this race - the summer solstice in Sutton. http://www.trifind.com/re_164231/SummerSolsticeSpringTriathlon.html Great venue! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by kjvandermolen Workout 3/24 - 40 min bike (stationary) for 12.07 miles for just a hair over 18 mph pace. Hope that for all of y'all that it was your first day back to work after the holiday that it wasn't too bad....... Damn Kyle - You are crushing it! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by thor67 First off welcome new and old faces! Second, great to see everyone jumping on the challenge! Jenn, popcorn ceiling removal...that is nasty! consider that a workout!! :-) Kate, I am not sure the fat % is worth it. Take body measurements and pics. Use the same scale consistenly and you should be okay. I would splurge for a good fat% test like a submersion type where you get dunked in the water if you really want to know. In the end the only one that needs to be happy is you. I finally put together a swim last night. My wife was working so I took my daughter swimming before hockey practice. she played and I swam laps...ouch. First real swim in about 5 months. Not pretty to say the least. Also stepped on the scale for the first time...yeah I know I am tracking but I just guessed my weight....Let's just say I was a bit optimistic with my guess. Good news I can eat more...bad news, I can eat more. Finally, I have a damn pain in the outside arch of my foot. It is a recurring injury. I may go to the damn Dr. to figure it out once and for all. Missed spin class this morning. I wouldn't wish PF on my worst enemy (even though I might be tempted)  Sorry to hear you are on the struggle bus with something so painful! Nice work on the swim. You might want to join me for some aQUA jogging. I swear by it! |

Ever watched the new Battlestar Galactica series. It's awesome! I love the idea of only watching it on the trainer - great idea! |

The founder of this group (Big DH) won the BT cold weather exercise challenge 3 years in a row and I have followed his lead. Wear enough crap and it can be done.

Feel free to always ask any question you have any time you want - but I always like to post something to spark a little discussion and to better support each other. Here is this weeks question: What do you wish you had done/known when you were just starting out? |

Member 220 Wakefield, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open No workout tonight. Low water pressure when we got home from work turned out to be a burst pipe in our garage. Which wasn't so bad until we discovered water all over the basement floor. No shopvac = wringing out towels by hand, over and over. I'll post my answer to the question of the week after I console myself with a beer. |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open That sucks Dennis! I have two shop vacs you can borrow in Colorado. Hmm things I wish I had known/ done sooner I wish I had bought a more flexible wetsuit. Mine is fine but I went super cheap and it's hard to justify replacing something that's not broken. I really like OWS and would love a less stiff suit. Ordering a road bike off the internet and riding it once before my first sprint was a sketchy at best decision- having never been on a road bike. Not loc-titeing the bolts on my clip on aero bars is another related lesson! Waiting too long to start especially Xterras which are a blast is the biggest one though. You learn a lot from just getting out there and racing and Mtn biking is a ton of fun! I always accomplish more when I sign up for a race and have a goal (even if accomplish for me is just working out, having fun and staying fit.) |

| 462 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Kyle - starting out is the perfect time to ask any questions. it can seem overwhelming but trust me there is a lot of knowledge here. Dennis - sorry to hear about the burst pipe. Never fun to deal with that Kate- I am hoping this year I can borrow some of your passion for OWS! Got in my bike ride this morning was planning for 45 but only had time for 35. Walked into work at 458 for a 0500 start time. Guess I am at 4/24. Planning on my swim tomorrow along with weights then a brick sat. I start Night shift Monday which will make it easier to get my workouts in. |

Hope it didn't take all night to clean up. Bet that beer tasted good! |
