The McNellies Pub Run was a "Just for Fun" run. 4 mile run with 3 beer stops along the way. You could just run it without drinking but what fun would that be. So I did like 181 other fools and did the "Pub Challenge" Although I'm not sure it was that much fun....drinking Guiness and then running - it was hard.

The course ran through downtown Tulsa with some hills over the overpasses (they were tough after drinking). The first 1.5 miles we kept about an 8mph pace.

Beer Stop (1) - at 1.5 miles - Drink 1 pint of Guiness before you leave the stop. No spillage allowed (although I'm not sure anyone was really checking). Went down okay - but left a nasty taste in your mouth....

Beer Stop (2) - at 3.5 miles - Drink 1 pint of Guiness. The second pint went down easier than the first - but my stomach was just full of beer...1/2 mile to go - I can do that. At the top of an overpass I thought I was going to lose my cookies or beer in this case....I guess all that beer on my stomach and running up the hill was too much. I managed to keep it down and the finish line was around the corner.

Beer Stop (3) - One more pint and then cross the finish line - I heard people yelling my name - I took one BIG GULP - there may have been some spillage and over the line I went.

It was more fun laughing about it after it was all over than it was actually running it. I did get a cool beer mug.
