Before we go and hand Joe the trophy, let's look back to last week's competition. Going into the weekend Danny was the mileage and points leader with Joe and myself close behind in miles. Joe had taken a quick lead on the beers consumed, but keep in mind that he had the Ducks to thank for that mid-week total. We ran the final tally on Monday to find major changes by Joe and decent progress by me.
Joe: 17 miles - 31 beers = -14 pts.
Danny: 21.5 miles - 11 beers = 10.5 pts.
Brian: 26.5 miles - 17 beers = 9.5 pts.
If we were playing golf, Joe would have embarrassed us. We, however, are not. Though the ducks weren't playing, Joe was still celebrating. My assumption that Danny was going to practically double his mileage most likely jinxed him, yet it did not help me in the end.
Congrats to Danny for the victory!
As for this week, danny had finals early on so his start is understandably slower than normal. I've tried to get out a steady number of runs and was feeling confident against my competition. That is of course until i realized the show that Joe was putting on for us to watch. As i mentioned above, Joe is approaching new realms of mileage per week for the beermileage crew. I won't jinx him here, but his goal is lofty, yet far from unattainable by him. Considering that he is doing this in frozen temperatures, i'm really looking forward to his final total Monday morning.
The current totals are:
Joe: 32 miles - 17 beers = 15 pts.
Danny: 7 miles - 6 beers = 1 pt.
Brian: 20 miles - 6 beers = 14 pts.
A lot of potential with these current numbers. We'll see who can grit their teeth through the cold and knock out some more miles. One mentality that we all share is that the best part of running during winter is that nothing warms you up after a run like a few beers.
