I currently ride just a low end road bike. I ride an orange Trek 1000. I didn't even own a bike last year when I had already signed up for a race and I didn't want to drop a lot of money on a bike if I wasn't going to stick with the sport.

I hated running all my life, grew up playing football and lacrosse, where if you where running it usually meant that you had screwed something up. I owned a 40x20 in ground swimming pool, so does that count as swimming? I once rode a water cycle while on our honeymoon in Jamaica. So yea I never did any of these sports much before I started training last May. When I first started just over a year ago, I couldn't run for more than two minutes at a time without being out of breath and having to walk. I could barely swim one length of the pool and then I had to cling to the wall and rest for 30-60 seconds and head back. Biking was easier, but I had to learn how to conserve energy and still go fast but leave some in the legs for the run.

Now swimming isn't fast still, but I can swim for just about any distance. I will not be in the lead pack but I do get the job done. Biking is still my strongest leg but the run is coming along just fine also.

Wow a swinging question...how unique!

I wish I could say that it was my idea, but it was MrsVan's. We used to take naked pictures and MrsVan really liked that. She mentioned posting some online and then from there it went to her finally opening up to me that she wanted to have a MFM. Once she said that I took it and ran with it.

She was very reluctant to open up about it because of my past, which has been posted on here at length. I had a very bad experience with an FFM with my ex-wife and MrsVan just wasn't sure if we should go here or not. After a lot of talking and talking and more talking, it finally happened and we haven't looked back since.

What's your favorite commercial wheat beer?

What's the best experience/encounter you've had in the LS so far?

If you mean mass marketed I would have to go with the Blue Moon stand by. If you mean to also include some of the smaller regional beers, then it would be Firehouse Wheat or Shock Top. Goose Island from Chicago (I think) also has a great wheat beer.

Well I don't really have any "best" experiences per say, they are all the "best" I have ever had at that particular time. The most unexpected and one of the hottest I have posted about before here in the forums. MrsVan and I went to one of our local clubs and we didn't see anyone that we where really interested in playing with, or just nobody we where able to talk with. So we headed up to the public play room and there where a few couples up there. At one point MrsVan is riding me and my head is off the end of the bed. This lady walks by to go downstairs and when she returns we make eye contact. Something passes between us and she decided to bend over and give me a kiss and then next thing I know she is straddling my face. Within a few minutes the other couple that she was with and her husband are all over on our bed and we are having a fantastic 6 some! We never did get the names of any of those people, but wow it was super hot!

Blue Moon is pretty good, try it with an orange slice if you have not already. Someone told us it was actually brewed by Coors!

What is the best advice you could give to a noobie couple now that you have some experience in the lifestyle?

Yea I knew it was brewed by Coors... and you don't put fruit in beer!

Just stay open and honest with your SO. ALWAYS ALWAYS talk about stuff and never keep anything to yourself. It has been said on here a million times before, but swinging will take all of the "crap" in your relationship and forced it to the top. You will have to deal with it or really bad things will happen.

Sorry all for taking so long to respond this week. I had a family emergency on Wednesday and I had to drive to NY pick up my mom and head then head to Portland, ME. I didn't have any internet connection while I was gone. Finally got back home late last night...I wouldn't suggest driving over 2400 miles in 3 days to anyone.

IF you were a book, what would your title be? And in what section of the bookstore would you be found?
