EUG Beer Mile

July 30, 2015 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 90s, but not horribly hot

Comments:
Got to the track around 7:30 with CA. It was DAMN HOT - like 105 - but thank god that around 8, the sun went behind College Hill. I kept my beers in a cooler, but they didn't stay very cold...

The race, as it turned out, was pretty mediocre. The crowd was small, but my main rival, Nick Alden, was there. For THREE beer miles, he's been (a fairly close) 2nd.

I beat him again tonight...but it was slow.

First can: SLOW. It was like I couldn't get the damn beer out, like it was whipped cream! I bet it took 15 seconds to drink and I was 5th off the damn line, WTF? Took 150 meters to reel in Alden, and I hit the line at 1:22. SOLID...for the can!

2: ...but I was so out of breath my second can was terrible! Fuck! I got out in front, but did not run very fast...

3-4: Nick lingered. Can #3 was better, but I was FULL and the protein shake AND banana I ate was taking up WAY too much room.

I had a solid last running lap - like 71.x - but wound up running only 6:06. Bleh.

In good news, CA won! The much-hyped girl who, a year ago, ran 7:30s, was not only slow, but she also puked. But even without the penalty, CA's 8:08 would've won, outright. So that was cool.

Post-race: did a cooldown lap with Dan-o, who ran like 7ish(!), and was - along with CA - pretty damn buzzed. Carefully drove home, and ate...and tried to pack for CLR. LOLZ.
