That looks like an almost permanent indentation in that pillow. Mrs TRR will be glad to get her spot back in the bed when you are dethroned tomorrow evening

Four soldiers ready to go to battle

That's the spare bedroom and I won't be dethroned by a skinny jean wearing bearded bastard like yourself! Even if I have to kill myself!

By the way are they ginger ale or similar, photo is so small I can hardly see it.

I just spent nearly 17 Europeans on 6 bottles of Sierra Nevada! Bloody lovely though. I may bring a glass with me tomorrow, and savour them properly. Should do the mile in about a half-hour.

Had to visit 3 offys before I struck gold with the moosepiss, 9.55 cutting it tight ha. Has to be a step up on Brooklyn tho.

You're better off buying the cheapest most horrible piss available that meets all the requirements (ie Moosehead), as no matter how tasty/expensive/refreshing any beer is, that last one will be disgusting. I used Sierra Nevada last year and felt I had totally wasted a good beer.

My 2 spare moose and a can of bud for good measure down the hatch. Not feeling any more confident of improving on my dire efforts of previous years ha.

Don't worry TRR, you'll see those cans up close and personal this evening.

There'll be four of them, empty and strewn across the cinder surface as you head off on your final lap. :pac:

Are entries for this still open?? I've had a last minute change of plan, and in the spirit of Italia 90 anniversaries I really want to give it a lash

Great! No training done so it could be messy but I'm sure I won't be alone Now to find some official partner beers.

What's a respectable finishing time? Say, if the beer mile were on the 10 round numbers thread, what would the target time be?

Does anyone know if having a raging hangover helps or hinders performance in a Beermile?

You definitely won't be alone. Make sure the beers are at least 12floz & 5% alcohol.

10 minutes would be a very respectable time. Aim for that

Hinders for sure last one I did I over trained the night before.

Yeah it's probably like running a 50k the day before a marathon, just to make sure you can cover the distance :rolleyes:

dublin runner

It's the big day.

Looks like a perfect day for it. I may have sabotaged my own chances with a hard few days running but I'll die with my runners on tonight!

As Mo Farah says, 'Go hard or go home'.........wait a minute! Ha.


*TRR don't bring that stupid talking bottling opener like you did last year! Laughing, drinking and running is tough!

Last night I just had two Moosehead over an hour so just like a taper run.
Only problem for me is I've not run much faster than a 10 minute mile in a few years . But feck it going for 10 minutes tonight , anyone thinking of a short warmup? While the game is on?

Are you planning on going for a run while the match is on?

4x 60 seconds per beer with 4x 90 seconds per lap... How hard can it be? I may regret saying that.

So, what do I need to pack in my volunteer bag ?

• Baby wipes
• Phone incorporating stopwatch, camera
• Some plastic bags
• Pen and paper
• Spare clothes :eek:

Yes that's exactly what I mean .
I couldn't manage a 90 minute run now.

I like your pacing my plan is 20 second beers and about 130 laps 😄. You should pass me about 4 times if it goes to plan.

While we are on the subject of Mo. Every competitor should expect to have their booze checked before the start to ensure no cheating or tampering with bottles/cans has accrued.

I think you just may

Hope ye all have a blast!

I'd love to have done this but I'm off the booze and injured.

Might try and start up the MMM (medical marijuana mile )

Enjoy it and post plenty of pics.

Driving wise - are you better off heading for the ballybrack or cabinteely side of the park ?
