That was class. Yis are pure legends every single one of ye. Can't believe I have to wait another 52 weeks for this...I have withdrawal symptoms already!
Ps. Meno wins best belcher, world class.
Huge thank you to Bungy Girl, the whole night would have fallen apart without her. Fact.
Drama Queen award has to go to Adrian
Hope you're ok!

Hannibal Smith brought a novelty skirt and Dr Q had the arsenal jersey for me to wear. Bastards.
Very happy with that. Very drunk too.

Turned up to the beer mile last night and got met with a very happy Hannibal Smith handing me a comedy skirt to wear and an equally happy Dr Q with a special Arsenal jersey which he took great delight in making me wear with an added bonus of it mocking the Irish as a nation as it had a tribute to Thierry Henry on the back. :mad: Still - it saved the blushes of everyone that no Mankini was involved so happyish days all round.
Zero training done for this. Drank one brooklyn and two mooseheads over the last week to pick a beer I could drink taste wise. Skulled some diet coke too on Friday but that was it. I've a goal race this Thursday so kept the focus on that.
Beer miles are a great leveler. I went into this genuinely expecting to be at the very back of the field. Lined up at the back and cracked open the first beer. Went down ok. The leaders had downed theirs and were off before I was a quarter of the way through mine. WTF ! Lashed into mine anyway and took off surprisingly with half the field still drinking their beers. Gave it socks for the first 300m and was also surprised that nobody passed me out in the run. This was great ! My plan had been all along to ease off for the last 100m to come in not too out of breath and ready to down the next beer.
This worked quite well for beer 2. First half went down quite well but then a rogue belch from nowhere hit me and I nearly spewed. Slow down slow down - how embarrassing to spew on beer 2 ! Lap 2 went ok. Managed to get great symmetry and was doing a little belch every 4 steps. Feeling ok and running well.
Beer 3 is where it started to go a bit wrong. Longest beer here for sure and the closest I got to a penalty lap for sure. That said everyone around me seemed to be in the same boat bar the top 3 lads who were flying around like machines. Got a couple of places here on this lap. Chivito was at a near stand still God help him at that stage and went past him here. Like I said beer miles are a great leveler - passing him out on a track isn't on the normal agenda at all !
Got lapped by Thirstywork2 at this stage on his way to second place. No great shame in that Arrived into beer 4 with the trusted slow down strategy continuing to work well. 4th beer wasn't quite as bad as 3. Adrian522 took off ahead of me and I downed the last of my beer and decided to focus on him. Caught him half way round (didn't realise he was after injuring his hand at the time) and went past him. Was expecting him to come back at me as we hit the final bend. The last 150m were the only parts of the run that were beer mile uncomfortable. Was balancing out running flat out for a decent time / holding off Adrian with not puking all over the place too.
Dug in and crossed the finish in 9:47. PB over 400m too mid beer mile debut isn't too shabby
Really happy with that.
The Arsenal jersey came off immediately but kept it close by in case of after event puking as it would have made a great towel. :pac:
The evidence ...

Any shenanigans in the pubs afterwards or anyone doing something they shouldn't?? C'mon, there's bound to be some dirty little secret someone is trying to hide :pac::pac:
I fell backwards off a ledge and landed on my tailbone if that counts. Other than that no dirty secrets to be told. Everyone very well behaved 0 -
