    My last half started at 7:00am, I had a beer in my hand before 9. Smile

     

    For the OP's question, my last two HMs had an ID check at the expo and they gave you a bracelet so you didn't need your ID after the race, made it nice and easy.

     

    I will definitely check into this.

              How can you guys drink beer after a race? I have a hard time eating a piece of bagel or half a banana when I finish. Don't talk to me about either pizza or beer for at least 2 or 3 hours after... And burgers? Pancakes? Barf!!! Tight lips

               

              BEER, the original sports drink.Wink

              Slow and steady never wins anything.

                Yet another reason NOT to drink light beer - less carbs. And tastes like crap.

                  Andrea...  Check into the Laufenfest 5K.  All the beer you can drink post race.  It's a part of the Haubstadt Bierstube, so naturally it's a drunkfest.  Pulls in some pretty fast runners/times for an early June 5K.

                        So, did you get your beer and did you need the ID?

My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                          Eh, I really didn't feel like having one lol. I wanted to get out of the heat, the sun and off my feet afterwards. The 1 mile walk back to the hotel sucked, but the bed felt good and the shower felt better. I had a beer when we got home, didn't drink all of it though, I was craving coffee. Our hotel room's coffee maker wasn't working so I went 2 1/2 days without coffee lol.

                            good to know.....how much cash are we talking about?

                            Usually just a bill that would be able to get me a drink/snack/transit ticket if I ran into problems in a race that warranted dropping out but weren't serious to have to call medical assistance.

                            In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them

                                LMAO!! I feel like I did, ha! There were a lot people with 2-3 oz little cups of beer walking around, I did not have the stomach for it lol. Heck they were passing out those little cups of beer around mile 10-11 and I was thinking WTF! I can honestly say that was a first sight for me, but then again since Anheuser Busch Brewery was on the course, I shouldn't be surprised.
