Chunder Mile - 9:13
4 Pints, 1 mile. Done a beer mile before and thought this would be the same sort of ballpark but oh boy was I mistaken. Turns out one pint is quite a lot bigger than a 330ml bottle. Anyway we began, got the first pint down me fast in around 6 seconds then set off in around 3rd. Made it up to 2nd by the end of the first 400m basically on world record pace. Got the second pint down me, but realised at this point the mountain that I had to climb. Had to walk away and basically jog the next 400m whilst dry heaving. Horrible. Got round and was presented with my 3rd pint. Tried to tan it as I knew carcas was closing in fast! Set off and around 10m in absolutely projectiles. We’re talking out of the nose and mouth, probably top 10 most horrid experiences of my life. Carried on but chundered another 2 times on this 400m section. Luckily Carcas was still behind at the end so my primary objective was still within reach (although the winner had already finished by this point). Slowly got my 4th and final pint down me, then absolutely bolted for the last 400m, head down just went for it, probably dropped a sub 45sec split for that last 400 but will have to check the splits to be 100% sure. Crossed the line and headed straight for the bushes. Another 5mins of spewing went on before I was able to hold a conversation.
Really a game of two halves today. Gutted not to take the dub but definitely positives to take away from this experience. Crushed Carcas into the floor and only 3mins down on the winner which on a good day I reckon I could have done. Think the training and nutrition going in was good, most chunder was pure liquid which I’ve got to say I’m chuffed to bits with. Onto bigger and better things now.
