4 on the 4th and the bikini beer mile

On 4th of July morning David and I carpooled with the running group to the northshore for a hilariously fun morning of racing. We started with a hot and humid 4 miler, which I sucked at as predicted, but enjoyed nonetheless. I ran a 27:10, but I actually did not feel much pain, so I got all runner's high without even going fast. Awesome.

Love the tank top for this race. 

Following the 4 miler was the inaugural bikini beer mile. My group does bikinis right. I'm disgusted that the guys look hotter in a suit than I do.

There was running and puking.

Some of it was by the best runners in the state. This race was a state championship for the 4-mile distance, so some talent came out!

I adore the reactions in this photo! 

After the bikini beer mile they held an "amateur" mile - no bikinis needed, and beers were in cups instead of cans. To my surprise, David volunteered!

Fourth beer goes down a little rough

And the man has found his event.
He ran a sub-10 min beer mile (4 beers, 4 laps) - and this is the man that barely cracks ten minute pace in a 5k. Hidden talent, my friends.
I didn't do the beer mile because someone had to drive, but next year I think I'll try it. Ever done a beer mile or beer race?
