On the last day of the year, what’s left for us to do but celebrate? What better way to do that, in true F3 fashion, than to run the Inagural Beer Mile? This is what happened…

The concept is simple. Drink beer and run! Actually the rules asre as such: drink an unopened 12oz beer, run a 1/4 mile, drink another, run another 1/4 mile, drink, run, drink and run. 1 mile and 4 beers total. Sounds easy enough, right?

There were plenty of bystanders, more than the actual participants, on hand to help cheer on the athletes. Quiche happily offered to be the official timer and when he said GO, we went. The beers were popped, chugging commenced and rocks were pushed.

Some of the athletes downed their beers like it was fresh spring water. Some struggled and said it was too fizzy. One of us barely got his down, but down it went! Unfortunately, nobody spewed and suffered the cursed penalty lap. The crowd worked themselves into a frenzy all the way til the very last one was done. Everybody ran the last lap with Mayor together in victory.

Here are the results so that the next running can have a bar to strive for.

  1.  Sargento –  8:48
  2.  Freight –      10:27
  3. Short Sale – 11:30
  4. Balljoint –     12:06
  5. Ash Pond –   13:00
  6. Radar –           15:54
  7. Mayor –          20:10

All in all, it was exactly what YHC envisioned it to be, Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless, but it was great! Everybody had fun, nobody got hurt and we got to drink beer and eat burgers. Thank you all for indulging my stupid side in grand fashion. It’s been a great year! AYE!!!
