Ragnarly (Enduro Racing and Boozing at its Best)

After over 30 hours of running and minimal sleep, Team Beer Run crushed the Ragnar Relay of 200 miles. I had a great team and many beers were consumed. For a full run down on the day and a quarter Ragnasty event, check out the live blog we were updating the entire relay.

Big thanks to my whole team. Everyone stepped up when they needed to and made this thing happen. B double E double R U N. On to the next. There is a Ragnar in Utah - Logan to Park City...

Also note that the medal is a bottle opener. Who woulda thought that all these runners would also be so in love with booze. I must say, I had an Octoberfest after running nearly 23 miles over 30 hours. It was the best single beer I've ever had in my entire life. Everyone should taste something that good. If you want the ultimate taste, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price...

Retro Snow and Beer Runs (WWS)

This video from 1983 cannot be described with words. It is from the hit "Apocalypse Snow." Just watch it.



Further, I thought it was a good idea to get drafted into a 193 mile relay race on Friday. Yes, this Friday. The Ragnar Relay sounds gnarly. 12 runners, 36 legs, 3 legs per runner. 24 hours or so of running. Start 9AM Friday in Cumberland, MD. Finish sometime Saturday at RFK stadium in D.C. My team is known only as "Beer Run." I like the sounds of that and I hope to live up to their expectations.

Ragnar is awesome. Ragnar was a 9th century Norse King. He was a pirate, a raider, a conqueror, an explorer, and a wild man. I like the sounds of that.

Stay tuned to this blog for updates from the race.
