Notes
"Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science."
-Claude Bernard
So tonight was my official farewell from the mine site that's been my home for 6 1/2 years. After last nights experimentation with drinking then running I was anxious to try it again *lol*
If you've never worked on a remote Pilbara desert mine site, you'll never understand the culture and social customs. Everyone did their very best to try and get me drunk so that I wouldn't run tonight after the get together :) This is called "fun" :) I had five Wild Turkey & Cola pre-mix bottles (@ 1.7 standard drinks per bottle, that's 8.5 standard drinks). I did commit the ultimate sin, however, and leave two additional bottles that had been bought for me undrunk, while I said I was going to the loo and snuck away from the party, which I'm sure I'll hear about tomorrow :)
My pre-run blood alcohol count was 0.074, about 50% over legally drunk. What really surprised me was that I still registered 0.025bac after a ten mile 1:40 run! (we have tester units in our laundries).
Performance wise, I found myself trying very hard (and successfully) to not chuck up around the 5km mark *lol* I did not find the same performance boost on 5 bottles as I did on 3 last night.
Anyway, still got it done, the run streak is still alive, and I'm still on target for my 300 mile month :)
