26.2 miles, 26.2 thoughts: Part 4
Post-race beers are cool. In-race beers are better.
Fact: a nice, cold beer after a long, grueling race feels very good.
Fact: a nice, cold beer around mile 14 feels awesome.
Sure, it might not be the smartest thing to do, but I didn’t really run into any problems after my two in-race beers. Many many thanks to the friendly people at mile 14 with the “free beer for runners” poster, and also to the people throwing a kegger around mile 23 who offered me a beer. Instant carb rush, instant morale booster. Love that.
