One of the favorites gettin' spooked a ringer or two could show up and blow his chance at retaining a national podium?
Or
A man concerned w/ our health and safety- you decide

Went to the Offie today to buy the beer for Saturday's race.
Was intending on buying 6 cans of Brooklyn Lager but saw they also had Krusty's beer of choice so decided to buy 6 of each for testing purposes :pac:
Both fully Kingston Compliant BTW
So I just had my first and only 'training session'. Decided to neck one of each but give myself full recovery in between (5 minutes) in order to give me a better idea of which beer is 'best' for beermiling.
I Adopted an unplanned 'stop at half way to burp' strategy which I feel might work well on the day itself given my gassy troubles last year :pac:
Managed both beers comfortably enough in 22 seconds, but given that I had the summerale (blue and red) second I feel it is the better result. It also feels a little less gassy than the lager so Like KC I think it will be my beer of choice for Saturday.
My only issue is I now have 5 cans of unneeded Brooklyn lager in the fridge

41/33 negative split for the chugging. Happy with this. First can in 3 slugs and the second one in 2. Reckon, I learned a bit from the first one. Beers over cans for sure. The difference over last year is immeasurable and no messing about looking for a bottle opener on the day. Bring it on!!!

I went with the Brooklyn Lager. After seeing the picture in your post, I think they had the pale ale in the Offy in Fairview as well. Might try a can or two of that tomorrow and see what its like. The lager was a little frotthy and we all know the issues that excess froth can cause. 0 -

I thought they just drank Dutch Gold in fairview

I had a quick chat with Ecoli about this race yesterday. My plan now is to do the exact opposite of what he did last year. I am probably definitely going to win, just saying
Word on the street is that TRR hasn't put the work in this year and Krusty can't handle his beer.0 -

But it's not an endurance event. It's a 4 x 400 track session with 30 second recoveries. After one mile, the endurance runner will not even have warmed up properly (on the running or drinking fronts). If a sprinter or middle-distance runner doesn't win it, it's purely because they're not very good.Chivito550 wrote: »I have to say that the 6/1 odds being quoted by Road Runner Bookmakers gives shocking value to the punter. Never ever does a sprinter win beer miles. If it comes down to a sprinter vs a middle to long distance runner in this event, my money is on the distance runner everytime. Every beer mile I have ever run has been dominated by distance runners. Sprinters never feature at the business end of things. Endurance is key.
I'm not even a fast skuller either, although I have improved with the James Boags. My main strength is keeping it down. I'd have myself at 33/1 to be honest.
Oh, I can handle my beer all right. I'll have those cans opened in a jiffy. Drinking them is the problem.dublin non-runner wrote:Word on the street is that TRR hasn't put the work in this year and Krusty can't handle his beer. 0 -

4 x 400m off 30 secs is not a session that sprinters EVER do. We're all about the long recoveries.
Middle distance runners have the biggest advantage, followed by the 5-10k runner IMO. My money is on Timaaay.0 -

Last year I had full race distance covered with 330ml bottles in training , so I think tomorrow is just about not spewing. Off to find some beers now! and will try not to drink them tonight.
Sounds a bit like my preparation 0 -

:D:D Feck off! You know what I mean. Still two cans left. The track runner in me is saying two sets with a long recovery in between. The fun loving, right lad in me is agreeing :pac:.
