Lewis Kent set a beer mile world record on Tuesday night in Austin, Texas, when he ran the second annual FloTrack World Championships in 4:47.17, 泭啦堯梗 race involves running four laps around a track泭and chugging a beer before each lap, for a total of four beers per race.泭Kent, a 22-year-old Canadian cross-country runner, broke his record of 4:54.4 that he had set泭last month.泭
I wasnt going in to set a [new] world record, Kent told 窪蹋勛圖厙. I wasnt looking at the clock. I just wanted to win the race, and then I saw the times泭after I crossed the finish line. I was really surprised.
As the first-place finisher, Kent received a $5,000泭prize, as well as an undisclosed bonus from his sponsor, Brooks. (Kent announced last week that he signed a two-year shoe and apparel contract with Brooks, making him the worlds only professional beer-miler.)泭
Other brands are hardcore intense, whereas Brooks is really about having a good time, and that kind of meshes with me, and the beer mile in general, he told 窪蹋勛圖厙 in November.泭
