Waterloo Beer Mile

[Mullet B. Miler]

Time to break the tension with some cash money.

The 3rd annual spring Waterloo beer mile went down tonight, along with the Waterloo beer mile record. Some heated smack talk leading up to the event resulted in the largest field in history. This truly ground breaking event also saw 3 elite b-milers go under the existing Waterloo record. This event proved to be promising, with the first showdown between 3x champ and former record holder Mike Logue and the upstart, fall champ and current record holder Adam Lalonde.

The three favourites immediately jumped ahead, with middle distance runner Adam Lalonde leading the pack. While Logue and Will Gibbons of UWXC fame managed to gain ground on this beer chugging phenom during running portions, Lalonde lead convincingly from start to finish.

Although it looked like there might be a shake up in the backstretch of the last lap, Lalonde cruised to victory in 6:10 and Gibbons retained his legacy of finishing second every time, in 6:14. While disappointed in his placing, Logue also ran a PB of 6:20. Other highlights included a 20-second PB from female Kristie Henry, in 9:23 (4-beer), the first woman in 6th overall. Barely-of-age rookie stud Colin Lawrence also held his own, living up to his own prediction of 4th overall.

Kingston rules were in effect and we thank Queen's alumnus Kevin Beatty and Rob Berg for upholding these high standards (as well as UW alumni Alastair Lawrence). This awesome display proves once again that Waterloo is the beer-miling mecca of Canada and the CIS.

No Doubt about it...Of Course Henry was tops on the female end of things, not much else to do in Parry Sound!

Sounds like you had a good showing, but I think one of your coaches coulda gave you a run for your money back in his Hayday. Goodenough a tough cookie! HAHAHA. I'd also like to see an in shape (running, not drinking, cause he is in fine form there) Josh Morrison go at it! That'd be TROUBLE! haha

Nice Turnout U Wat.

What makes Henry's b-mile dominance even more impressive is that she never really drinks beer at any other time.

Terry definitely was an excellent runner, but I was not aware of him having any excellent beer miling credentials.

As for J-Morrison... we try to get him to come out every year because we feel the same way! But even when he was on the team, it never seemed to work out.
