Is the appearance of froth considered a puke,
Yes, see boards vs meno 2013 for a comprehensive analysis of such an outcome.am I correct in thinking we're going drinking straight afterwards?
YesI assume there's no showering facilities available?
Is that a statement or a question? I'll assume it a question due to the question mark, that's more than a couple of questions
No showering facilities. You really won't give a ****e what anyone thinks after running a mile and drinking 4 beers as quick as you can. 0 -

It was a statement, turned into a question by this fashionable method of appending a question mark. You are supposed to read it imagining my voice going UP AT THE END? Because that's how you know IT'S A QUESTION? Anyway, you've answered all seven of my questions satisfactorily. Thank you.0 -

Actually, it's the taking part that counts
It's only a bit of mindless fun![/QUOTE]
This is quite a clever tactic - lull them into a false sense of security - let them think you don't care when all the while this is your next goal race - in fact, London was really only your 'B' goal for the year really, wasn't it ?
(that, by the way, was a real question with a question mark at the end - you can imagine my voice going anyway you wish )0 -

American imports usually come in 12oz/355ml servings (so as long as they're 5%+ they're usually a good choice). The Brooklyns and SN are also available in 355ml cans, in case you think the wider opening of the can will help with air flow (though I can't say I've noticed a significant difference). You can pick em up in most decent off-licenses for around €2.50/can. Moosehead is a lot cheaper - just make sure you're buying the 12oz/355ml version.
indeed, every competitor's beer is ruthlessly checked beforehand to ensure it complies with all the rules and regulations. If it fails you will be mocked and jeered in a childish manner. The founder of the Boards beer mile (he who must not be named) was a stickler for this. However, he then competed last year with non-regulation beer if I remember correctly. He really is an complex and confusing character 0 -
For what it's worth, my advice is not to use Sierra Nevada. It's a nice ale, but it's not for beer miling. Maybe drink that afterwards?
The same way you can bring a nice pair of jeans to wear in the pub, but sporting them during the race would be detrimental to your performance

6:56, but it's not just the boards record, it's the National record.
It's only going to last another few weeks though, if you're to believe everything you read/listen to lately 0 -

Actually, that's beatable but I've a feeling it's going to hinge more on the ability to keep the beer down than to run fast! The winner of this might be more a seasoned drinker than a fast runner0 -

I'm sure someone has run faster but they probably don't have the video footage to back it up. It's actually a poor record relative to the world record0 -

Irish lad ran 6:03 in Melbourne in the same beer mile I was in. Won't name him in case he doesn't want to be named. 6:56 ain't the Irish record. Maybe fastest on Irish soil, that we know of?0 -
