The Tyranena Beer Run is certainly a highlighted event on my calendar. This run is held in Lake Mills and they have a half barrel (13.1 miles) and the quarter barrel (4+ miles). A group of 8 of us did the run (1/2 barrel) and enjoyed the windy, rainy conditions. The first 6 miles or so are on some hilly terrain, but then it flattens out and you run on the glacial trail for the 2nd half of the run. I think I had some residual effects from my infection as I couldn't get going right off the bat.
The run was a good time to work on some pacing and break in my new shoes. I ran within sight of about two guys the entire time and just got into a zone. I ended up with a 1:22:04, but it was more like a 1:23:30+ as the course was cut short by about 15 guys as they had the signs pointing us in the wrong direction. It was about .3 miles short, but it didn't effect anyone's placing.
A fun race and great beer!!
