In summary: Details: 1. This is going to be a team event. Teams consisting of two persons. Male or female....doesn't matter. The goal will be to see which team can have the most total miles/beers during the week. 2. Each Team must have at least 75 miles total, and 75 drinks total to be in GC competition, with no averaging of the two. 3. This will take place Midnight, Monday morning July 21 - Midnight, Sunday night, July 27 (includes only the second weekend) 4. All drinks and miles must be posted in a swamp thread designed to keep totals, within 24 hours of the period in which they were accrued. You must keep a team running total in each such post.

What the hell does "GC" stand for? For real.

Thunder, what the hell does "GC" stand for? For real.

Thunder says:

The 75 is the total you and your partner need to have a minimum of to be in the General Classification. If combined you have 74 miles and 86 beers...you're total of 160 wouldn't place you. You'd be beat by some team who goes 75 and 76 w/ a total of 151, because they met the minimum in each catagory. This could involve a lot of stragety...and include injured folks. Heck, maybe I'll be hurt and Trent can run 120 miles, while I drink 120 beers for a total team score of 240. That would be tough to beat. Ehhh my liver hurts just saying that...anyway...I hope you get the point!

Lank, I want to re-emphasize what an utter failure I will be in this competition. Globule '95 could have made the "GC" on his own, but the best that Globule '07 can hope for is a decent week running. I've been having to do all of my running at night on the treadmill lately, and that makes it really hard to drink. And to all of you who are going to give me shit for whining and making excuses ahead of time: well, you're right. I am whining and making excuses. And also, your mother's a whore. And she appreciated the Brazilian I gave her. On her back and mustache.

I actually have no partner, as sfh is injured, last I heard, and suggested I find another partner. sfh...how is your hip, by the way? What did the MRI show?

Standard Drink And this.

Are you ready for this? I think I am... I'm finally getting out of some sort of rut and heading back into marathon training so my mileage will increase nicely (I hope). Drinking is part of summer so I'm always ready for that.
