This Guy Is My Favorite Marathon Runner Ever
I will admit that I don’t know much about marathon running because I own a car, but I know that this guy is my favorite marathon runner ever. I don’t know this fine gentleman’s name, but his San Francisco Marathon bib says his name is “Sarah,” I guess all those stereotypes that I’ve heard about San Fran are correct. Well “Sarah” has a wonderful website Exercising While Intoxicated, where he explains how he drank beers and ran the San Francisco Marathon.
This guy didn’t just go get a 12-pack of PBR and run in the San Francisco Half Marathon, he meticulously planned every detail of running a 13 mile while drinking a beer for every mile. Sarah worked out all the logistics of running when sloshed, like how to avoid meddling do-gooders such as paramedics and marathon officials, and how to bring a beer while galloping without it getting shaken up and exploding in your face.
I’ve run when I’m drunk several times, but never when police weren’t chasing me. It’s pretty easy to run plastered when police are chasing you after you crash your 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood with an open container of Orange Jubilee Mad Dog 20/20 and an underage girl, and you’ve got several warrants for your arrest. Well that’s what I’ve heard. I imagine that without the motivation of incarceration, that it’s more difficult to run when you’re plastered.
Sarah did eventually finish the San Francisco Half Marathon in five hours and seven minutes. He drank 13 beers, blacked out for two miles, and puked three times. Sounds like a great success to me. Check out his entire epic tale of inebriated jogging at Exercising While Intoxicated…
