Bachelor Party Beer Mile

Last time I did a beer mile I ran 21:00 with my Dad laughing at me. This time I was set out to beat everyone and get in the sub 7min club. So I head down to my Buddy's house(Who is getting married the next day) and about 15 of us headed over to the track. If you not sure what a beer mile is, here are the rules(http://www.beermile.com/faq.beer#rules). In short it's 4 beers, 4 laps. The 1st beer went down okay and I was 5th out of the transition area. I quickly caught Nat who was leading and over took him with about 300m in. My 2nd beer was my fastest one of all. At least that's what Nat said. At 2 beers and 800meters of running I was at 2:55. On pace for sub 6. the 3rd lap also felt good and I thought I had a shot at braking 6, but the last beer took a little to get down and once I started running, I could feel it almost coming up. with about 200m to go I had to slow down so I wouldn't vomit and get a penalty lap. so I passed the line and I vomited everywhere. My final time was 6:12. A top 50 time in the world. We also have it on tape and once I get that tape I will posted it. Now it's off to Tyler's wedding and the long trip down to Windsor for a race on Sunday. Next post I will fill you in on the whole weekend.
