Beer Mile






Another off-season diversion...Beer Mile. We had a lower than expected turnout. Some of the noted participants were Pete Valentyik, JZ, Mark Schenk, Karol Kristov, Eric Schwartz, Brad Seng, Greg McCullough, Jen Baer and a few other Boulder locals...just out for a little drag racing in the drinking and running game. Pete was the definitively the "alien' in our group as he drinks beer like a sailor and runs like a Kenyan. I definitely had the edge in the consumption department, but was a tad slack on the speed. Schwartz made me work the 3rd lap as he had been breathing down my neck on the previous lap. In the end, Pete won with a 6:45 mile (that includes drinking 4 Tecates), yours truly second with an 8:20. Third came down to a foot race between Schwartz and JZ...it's kinda pathetic to see a grown man and former professional athlete throwin' elbows on a girl in the turn...but a podium is a podium,!!!!!! And Joanna didn't puke this run..me thinks she's been practicing.
