2018 Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Always Open (Page 37)

Wrapping on an on-call week for me, managed a short 5 mile run on Saturday and a 45 minute bike ride on Sunday. On my ride I did some high intensity intervals which was a fun change of pace from my usual "just go for a long ride" weekend ride. Coming up this weekend I may do a charity ride that's about 60 miles, a bit further than I'm used to riding but at least I won't be running immediately afterwards!

Oooo!  C'est fantastique!!!! 

Howdy...just spent an hour or so fiddling with my bike position on the trainer - turns out I needed a longer seatpost (going with a 410 mm now, was a 350mm) in order to get into my position and not go past the "maximum" mark on the seatpost.  Feels a lot better - probably almost an inch higher and maybe and inch more forward than it was before.

@Gretchen...almost two hours on a treadmill - I'd hang myself with my headphones.  Most I've ever done was like 7 miles (a little over an hour) and I thought that was bad.

That's awesome!  What a great way to see it too.  France looks beautiful on TV every year of the Tour de France

Hi All - just checking in.  Still running, my HM is Nov 4th.  Training is progressing very slowly, mostly because this time I'm only running, with no S or B for cross training.  My weight is a lot higher than usual.  And despite having been doing it for 2 months, I'm still getting used to running in Florida summer.  Saturday for my 13 mile run it was 80 and 100% humidity, and sunny.  At 730am....

Gretchen I love your new bike!  I'm a one bike guy right now, an aero road bike.  I can put my aerobars on it and Time Trial, or I can take them off and do a normal group ride or whatever.  If I had the money and space I'd have a dedicated tri bike, and a gravel/road bike for everything other than time trialing.  

We're supposed to close on the house on the 26th.  Move in and furnishing (we currently have two beds, and a single dresser and that is literally it for furniture) are going to take like a month so it'll probably be after my HM that I get back in the pool and on the bike.  The good news is that in Florida, I can ride all winter long!

Keep up the great work!

Finally made it back in the pool after a long hiatus and managed a short swim. My arms are not feeling it as much as I expected so next week I'll go a bit longer. Looking forward to my coastal bike ride this weekend!

YES.  Survive and fight another day!  This is especially true of the second workout of the day.

Gretchen - Happy Taper!  Also those waffles are the best.  Honey Stinger brand makes them as well, not sure if they're any cheaper than the Gu version. Culturally speaking, they're Dutch so if you have any kind of international food store near you, there might be some 'real' ones as well.

James - Welcome to the group!
