    To follow on from the outright book I was thinking the prop bets markets finally done up

    Number of Pukes* - Over 1.5 @ 4/6, Under 11/10

    * multiple pukes from same athlete (meno) do not count

    New Irish Record - Yes 7/4 No 4/9

    Krusty v the Field - Krusty 9/2 The Field 1/7


    Working on getting Betting in Running for the event :P

    Good luck to allrunners competitors tomorrow. Looks like there's been some serious beer training going on.

    I just hope the poor park cleaner upper has a good hose to clean up the residue...:eek:

    Have fun.

    Right decided to do one last session this evening after my race. The idea was a speed session: 2 x James Boags off 40 secs recovery. I wanted to test out the bottle opener in practice before the big day. It was a distaster.

    The times of both beers were 34 and 37, but it took me 15 seconds to open up the second bottle using the bottle opener I had, which seems the best of a bad lot, so my 40 sec recovery was really 55.

    I've learned a lot from this session. I will be reverting back to the twist off approach and using my t-shirt for grip. Too much time lost fiddling with a bottle opener.

    Choices, Choices....

    6b592c29-e8aa-44a1-b03f-16111656098b_zps5cecf766.jpg

    ... and 2 new beers enter the fray. I had a quicker split on the Brookyln's Summer Ale (32s) compared to the Mama's Little Yella Pils (34s) but I preferred the latter. Tough one. Might depend on the stock in the Off Licence. They looked a little low on Mama's.

    I'd put Krusty as joint favourite with TRR for the event this year. It could come down to the Beers Vs Cans choice ;).

    Right. I'll be at the Horse and Hound Cabinteely from 6 for second half of Brazil Chile anyone else welcome to meet there and jog down to stadium at 6:45. (KC or someone local ish- do u mind meeting us there for those who don't know the way!)

    Race at 7pm sharp

    Immeadiately following - we jog to the 145 to go into O'briens in town.

    This is the plan. Be there or be a complete loser.

    Complete loser here.
    Work strikes again. I'll be doing my running on an invisible leash no further than 5 minutes from the house today :(
    Hope you all have a blast, lots of incriminating pictures please.

    Footwear related question: What type of shoes are people wearing for the race? Road running shoes? Racing flats? Spikes?

    Also, I assume people are bringing a spare pair of clothes for the pub after? No way we'd all get in looking like a bunch of smelly runners.

    Spikes are a definite non-runner. Having run on St Coca's cinder track last night, I can certify that this is a pretty poor example, but you wouldn't wear spikes on St. Coca's cinder either. Racing flats or running shoes will be fine. Change of clothes is a good idea, but I wouldn't bring any valuables, unless you're also bringing someone to mind them.

    Also, if you need one, don't forget your bottle-opener!

    I'll have my car parked nearby if anyone wants to stash any valuables/change of clothes etc.

    Ugh why did I think it was a 7.30 start. I'll be cutting it close (nothing new there for 90% of my races), the warmup will be a sprint from the car with 4 bottles clangging in hand, hold up for a min or so if I ain't there at 7 sharp please :p

    This is my poison for tonight. I've never tasted it before and it's 5.5% alcohol. Whatever outside chance I may have had is definitely gone now!!

    The general advice is that you should do a beer mile with a beer that you probably won't ever want to drink again. Sierra Nevada is a fantastic beer!
    Don't worry, the strength won't hit you until 10 minutes after the race. :)

    I've arrived at the national beer mile stadium. Things are quiet. Weather conditions perfect. There is also one of the 3 wise men in the long jump pit! I don't know the significance of that but that and the weather could be an indicator that the national record will fall!
