I agree with you, though, that a cheaper beer doesn't seem amazing if you're used to drinking craft beers. I don't think I could drink wine after a race, either.

My husband and I usually find a local brewery to try right after the race, because then it's a reward for me for racing and him for spectating/sherpaing. Plus, a post-race burger and fries is always good! <br />Also, my husband loves the meal variety of non-marathoning training as well - it means more beef and cheese in our meals!Laura Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733300278691735528noreply@blogger.com
