Please discuss…

BTW: Those LetsRun folks are a bunch of assholes!

Um, we need more info. How long have you been training? How many glasses a day? A week? What is your goal race??

3

I have been averaging 15 hours training and 2 bottles of wine per week. You should at least be able to get a bottle in a week.

4

and what, still run a decent 10k? Marathon the next day? Simply ride the porcelain God?

5

And the most important question of all…which Merlot?

As long as you’re not driving, drink 'till you puke :slight_smile:

It depends…it is a known fact that drinkers can consume more merlot in Wisconsin than Idaho.

I think the key is proper pacing. Three bottles should be no problem if you don’t go lactic in the first hour.

hey, if you’re going to drink wine, at least drink a worthwhile varietal. how about mixing it up? bordeaux, malbec, burgundy, or a good blend…

if you must drink merlot, drink as much as you can until your palate goes dead and you cannot taste it. that is my best advice. or better yet, don’t drink it at all. :stuck_out_tongue:

Good response rroof… My answer is yes, run a marathon the next day or a solid 10k and to train daily as THE SERGIO would?

YELLOW TAIL? Ack! Sorry, even just one glass of that Kangaroo piss will add 1 min/mile for any distance …
Plus, the Sergio certainly sips Port (probably a nice 20 year old tawny) after each race …

The correct answer is you can never consume too much. Although pinot is a far superior wine option.

15

You know guys I’m just learing about wines. I finished my first bottle of wine on my own tonight. (yeah what kind of endurance athlete am I?) My shoulder is busted so I’m kinda depressed. Can’t do much else?

16

Go for the pinot! (noir, not the gris junk).

Just be warned: as a hobby, other than yachting it’s about the only thing more $$$ than triathlon.

17

any Merlot is too much unless you’re a chick. Didn’t you see Sideways?

18

So sorry to hear about that! My bike’s broke. Can I share a bottle with you?

:wink:

Well if you’re a female, I’ll tell you what I tell all the women; “just drink till I look good”. That could be a lot!

Jack: If they want to drink Merlot, we’re drinking Merlot.
Miles Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f’in Merlot!
