HA! I can honestly say that one of the first thoughts I had after the race was "at least now I have a legitimate excuse to not do the Kona Beer Mile again this year." Those short races just don't suit me. I didn't have a good game plan coming into that race. I thought I could just focus on the running part of things, but was caught off guard by the sheer volume of beer I would have to consume in a short amount of time in order to be a contender. AJ proved to be the better man on the day, it was a humbling experience.
