Running race 10:37 [4]
Born to Run Beer Mile organized by Patrick Sweeney, who won not only the beer mile but the 50K the following day in a time of 3:49. I've always wanted to do one of these and this seemed like the perfect location for my first! About 50 of us lined up at 4:00 p.m. Friday. Modelo Especial was my beer of choice and I drank a few that morning ot make sure it was going to go down easy. Drinking it fast was much harder than I thought it was going to be! Course was 1/16th of a mile out and back four times. Thought I was going to puke after my third but managed to hold it in.
My first lap wasn't impressive but I moved up in the ranks with each beer, eventually taking the female title. I didn't come close to Patrick though, who finished around the 5:00 mark. Even though this was harder than I thought it was going to be, it was so much fun. Finally an event where my two loves work together rather than against one another!
Someone posted some video footage of the event today. I'm in the pink shirt behind the guy with the green skirt (who wasn't wearing anything under it and who kept flashing everyone as a result).
