    why not good beer and fried food during the race?


    Feeling the growl again

      I hope you guys kick some ass.

       

      I was serious about all the ultra talk earlier in this thread.  However with all the issues I encountered this thing, I think a 24hr run would be about the dumbest thing I could do this year.

          Haha.  I'm in for the beer afterwards, how's that?  I may be convinced to crew in Cleveland.  I can't see myself running though.  I'm getting the feeling I have forever fucked myself through hard training of the past and I will never be the same....I don't have many fast years left....but plenty of time to fuck around with other ridiculous adventures....

            this is going to be Fun.

             

            how you feeling Purdey ?

             

            Hi mate. Feeling fat, old and injured - but ready to rock. I haven't done any training - but there is still like 12 weeks to go right? Seriously - my goal has now shifted to completing within the cut off - I think that is still a respectable aim. To be honest, I am just really looking forward to being out there, experiencing an amazing race and meeting you guys.

              yup. are you?

               

              Yup. How about a competition to see who can have the highest body fat % by Aug 18th?

                 24 is about shuffling slow ... repeat - fast has nothing to do with it

                    I guess I could come out and shoot something in the middle of the course for you to fuel up....

                      Can you carry a portable BBQ with you? Thanks. Oh.... and a cooler for the beer. 'Prec.

                        A case of beer may be doable, the shotgun with 20-round drum mag is heavy so the BBQ probably not.

                         

                        You shouldn't need a BBQ though.  Everyone knows that real runners eat raw meat and sleep naked in the snow.

                             Ok... in this case my goal will be to get in shape enough to mule some ale with us on the trail. Let's have some fun out there. ... Or, can we leave it in drop bags at the aid stations? I am thinking homebrew in used 2-liter plastic soda bottles.

                             

                            The main thing is going to be taking care of the feet. The beer should help with that.
