The latest TNSR Beer Mile came and went. And I’m happy to report it went much better than my previous attempt.
Everyone is all smiles before the race…that would change.
I wouldn’t set a PR this day, but I still had a decent time, and I didn’t blow chunks – that’s always a win in the Beer Mile. Not everyone there could say the same thing. A few people in the pictures in this blog vomited. I won’t say who, but maybe you can take guesses.
At least one smiley clean shaven person in this pic puked.
If you’ve never done the Beer Mile, what happens is you pound a beer, sprint a quarter mile – then repeat until you drink 4 beers and run one mile total.
We were so official this year – bibs, timers, and we were provided with Mich Ultra beers.
What makes it tough is all the carbonation bubbling up in your belly. Well, that and 48 ounces of liquid sloshing around as you try to sprint 400’s. If you can’t get some burps out, then you’re in trouble. I’m happy to report that I burped each lap!!!
Someone in this pic may or may not have puked.
And even though I didn’t PR, I did come in 4th place overall – just missing out on the podium.
The official results.
Looking back, I think a couple things helped me out this year – Like I said, I worked really hard to make sure I burped. But also, I chose to drink warm beers instead of cold – tasted nasty, but had less carbonation. <taps head> “Not just a hat rack.”
Thanks for another great event, TNSR!
And after the race they had food grillin, music blastin & fun havin. I even made a 6 second video about it…
All in all a good time was had by all – even the folks who hurled.
Kanye was upset at his race results…or maybe because he puked.
Luckily these Beer Mile races don’t happen too often – they really do hurt. But I did have a great time and look forward to the next one!
How bout you? Would you ever want to do a Beer Mile? Have you ever? Any guesses as to the pukers?
