Lance Armstrong recently attempted the Beer Mile, a race where contestants drink four full beers and run a mile. He made one lap and quit.
When he decides not to continue, you can hear him say: “That was not what I expected.”
Patrick Hitchins, who finished second in the time trial in 6:08, told Texas Running Post, “[Armstrong] drank Budweiser heavy from a 12 ounce can, no widemouth, following strict international beer mile standards. Perhaps his days with Michelob Ultra Lite put him at a disadvantage. He’s probably on his way to a gas station getting some Budweisers right now and practicing his chugging. He’s a competitor. I hope to see him out there again.”
The inaugural Flo Beer Mile World Championship is going down on December 3 in Austin, and it doesn’t look like Armstrong will be a threat for the title.
