What's up for the weekend? Well, in NC, there's the Southeastern U.S. Master's Track and Field Competition (Fri.-Sat.) and the Race for the Cure (Sat., 7AM). Tim is also competing in the Eagleman Half Ironman in Maryland on Sunday. And finally, for the race that will span both days of this glorious weekend... 12 of us are running in the New England Relay (are running in the NER are running in the NER... WAHOOO!). I am wicked excited... we'll try and keep y'all posted on our progress (and yes, I did just use both wicked and y'all in the sameish sentence)!
And, for world record Friday, I bring you news of records not from my favorite site, but from a new one - Beermile.com. Yes, the Big Boss Brewery Run and the upcoming Team Pub Run (July 9th) had me thinking... the record for The Original Chunder Mile (4 beers x 4 quarters, no penalty for vomiting) is 5:45. Among some of the other "standard" ones listed - The Beer 2-Mile (8 beers x 8 quarters): 17:30; The Queen's Chunder Mile (4 pints x 4 quarters): 5:08.7; the fastest 400m split (beer included): 1:06.6; the fastest 800m split (beer included): 2:31. For some non-alcohol related records - The Soda Pop Mile (4 sodas x 4 quarters): 7:21 and The Ben and Jerry's 4x4 (4 pints x 4 quarters): 1:06:55. Some of those other records are insane, so I'll save them for next week!
My race will also span both days...starting Saturday at 6:00 p.m. and running 50 miles until some time early Sunday morning....Boogie Time!
