3rd Annual Southern Oregon Beer Mile

After receiving a Facebook invite from Rogue Valley Runners about the beer mile here in Ashland yesterday, I decided what the hell. After class, I hurried home and jogged over to the Southern Oregon University track, where it was held. It was dark and rainy. I had tasked Jess with procuring an at least 5% beer with low carbonation, and she showed up just as we were about to start with a 24-pack of Budweiser! Unbelievable! Long story short, I got through three beers and three laps. Hal Koerner won in 6:30. Erik Skaggs was second; Timothy Olson third.

In my defense thats what I was told by multiple sources to get. hahah. Also I was told to get something warm, and that was the only warm one at the store! If I had known how slow Ryan was going to drink the beers, I wouldve gotten a nice cold 6 pack of bottled beer. ;)- And maybe brought him a chair to sit in while he drank.
