And sometimes you just gotta have fun

Friday night I participated in my first ever Beer Mile.  For information on the event check out www.beermile.com.

Basic rules are Chug a beer, run 400m repeat 4X and if you puke you have to do a victory lap.

After the triathlon club ran a fall race series that is taken kinda seriously, they finish it off with a Friday night beer mile.  I was surprised how many people showed up, maybe 30?  I was not surprised that i wasn't the only one secretly training for this event.  I chugged a beer every night for a week as training, a friend of mine attempted chugging two beers and then running for 5km....makes me laugh every time.  Another one of the guys in the triclub organized an interval run for before the beermile, can't take a day off.  Love the commitment of these guys.

Annnnyways, cutting to the chase, it's the only event I've been able to squeeze out a win (in the female category)!!! :) 9:07 min.  Just under my goal time of sub 10!! Reed was in town, visiting from Calgary and beat me by 10 seconds!  We had a blast.  Sweet race, sweet after-party.  Most fun night I've had since I moved to Vancouver.
