Bierlauf results!

So we finished the Bierlauf. Heres a good pic of our team the Trojans of Girth. The straw idea was fantastic, we downed the beers in no time. In fact, Im certain that we finished them the fastest, which was a mixed blessing. It was great cause we just had to sprint as fast as we could with an empty case of beer, which wasnt so bad. But it sucked cause i was running with 8 beers sloshing around in my belly the whole way, which became rather painful.

The other guys sucessfully vomited midway, so they had more stamina, but i tried and couldnt. Thus my 8 beers were killing me by the end. But, we made great time, despite some time penalties for various reasons.

The video below is of us starting the race, most people picked up the case and started walking/drinking. We decided to down a couple before even picking up the case, which is what you see here. Unfortunately theres no sound, but you get the jist of it.







What you see here is us almost at the end, our muscles were on fire and we were pretty wasted but we knew it was the final stretch so we gave it 110%.

And.... in the end... we WON!!!!! well, we won for our category, but thats good enough for me. We got more free beer at the end, and won a free dinner at the restaurant who hosted the thing. Not bad for a day's work.

In the end, it was a horrendously painful experience, but I will definitely do it again this October. We had a good strategy and we kept a good pace throughout. It was a ton of fun. Luckily for me, i got to throw all 8 beers up at the end, which felt amazing. I have never been so relieved to be sick.

Anyway, all in all, we rock, and it was a hilarious day.
