Beer Mile

I love it... an American Record in the Beer Mile by an Olympic 800m runner.

I did a few beer miles in my day, the last was in 2001(holy shit that was a long time ago!).  The clock read 9:15 after earning myself a penalty lap for ... putting it nicely - being unable to keep the beer down.  That December night, I vowed to never do another one.  It's one of the few events in which my brother has a better PR than I do.  As Ron so eloquently put it this morning... "your brother is the 354th fastest beer miler in the world, according to the official records."  Maybe it's time I come out of retirement...
