Last evening's 5k was called Margarita Madness. The hook was that, in addition to the standard finisher medal, you got a margarita when you crossed the finish.

Because separating people from their hard earned shekels is their prime focus, there were also margaritas being sold prior to gun time. Naturally, there was a sizeable number of participants taking more advantage of the sales than advisable.

So now there are a couple thousand of us on the course, including the dolts that somehow thought putting an excessive amount of alcohol and citrus liquids into their gut and running in 95 plus temperatures.

I spent half the race dodging gack puddles. But l have to admit, that single drink at the finish tasted pretty good.

The Little Rock Marathon has water and Gatorade stations every mile, but between those there are usually some beer stations. This year though they had hard liquor out there which would have been fine but it was just in a little white cup so I thought it was water until I shot it back...lol It gave me the extra push I needed to hurry up and get to the next mile marker so I could get a Gatorade for a chaser...lol

LOL...Their claim to fame with the marathons is that they have the largest medal and they get bigger each year...so yeah they are huge. I have 2014, 2016, and 2018 hanging here and 2018 is the biggest so I figure it would be really bigger than 2009...lol

Probably not the best way to carb load before a race.

Sounds like a good business model.

This should have been called a gack run ?
