Marathon Weekend 2019

[Barca33Runner]

Bringing this over from the Running Thread.....

We could have an IPA division where you have to drink four Florida IPAs:
Jai Alai (Cigar City)
I-4 (Orlando)
Category 3 (Due South)
Bring It! (Playalinda)

The Flavored Water division:
Miller Lite
Bud Light
Michelob Ultra
Coors Light

The I Don't Drink division:
Cherry Coke
A&W Root Beer
Orange Crush
Diet Dr. Pepper

I'd be down for the "I Don't Drink Division", although I might lobby for Sprite or Mountain Dew (or the Diet versions) in place of the Diet Dr. Pepper. Two Colas and a Root Beer seems the Soda equivalent of requiring three stouts in the Beer division ( I may be off-base, I've never had alcohol).

With all this talk of a beer mile, now I am getting all sorts of FOMO.

Darn kids school schedule next year coupled with marathon weekend cycling around to being a week later sort of messes things up.

Leave the kids at home!

Take the Marathon Easy or just run the half and beer mile!

I feel I'll be forced to go with the flavored water division as I don't care for IPAs.

Y’all - don’t listen to @FFigawi ... I mean, he starts DATW in CANADA!!!

@LSUlakes and I are chatting and planning logistics for a Beer Mile that I think all involved will be happy with.

 

[apdebord]

I'm a lightweight, so I will happily be part of the chear squad for this! (beer squad?)

If only it were that easy. I think we are close to our grandma limit for the year. She watched the kids while we were at Dopey, and she’s watching them again when we head to Chicago in August for Pearl Jam.

The more divisions we add - the harder this event will become!

BYOB beer mile.

That doesn't work for everyone....

I like Flavored Water! IPA are too heavy for this lightweight. Wine is good too. Sorry, but I’m with Keels.....starting in Canada is wrong. You start with Mexico and end up almost near the end in the UK for a reason....greasy fish and chips after all that drinking makes you feel better for one last round in Canada! Then you stumble back to Mexico for nachos.

He added a division for us non-beer drinkers, both voluntary and mandated by statute.

I will allow wine 10oz per stop. Red or White is the real question?


@rteetz how old will you be on marathon weekend?

1. 10 oz. of wine to 12 oz. of beer is just plain MEAN. Should be 5 oz. of wine! Or I could do four flavors of mimosas!

20... Not 21 until May.

That's like basically 21. I mean, you're going to be 21 for most of the calendar year!

 

[Keels]

BYOB beer mile.
