I have been turned on to a choice bit of info from a former colleague in the Chemistry department. Evidently there is an unofficial beer brew-off that will conclude with judging on the weekend of July 12. Hopefully, I will be able to make the judging as the memo that I recieved mentioned there only being 5-7 entered brewers (you must be a current OU student). As luck would have it, my recent batch will be blossoming just about that time so I'm hoping to sneak a couple bottles through security and in front of the judges. I'm also hoping some of the old professors have themselves got some product to be enjoyed. This could be the beginning of a beautiful thing. On another beer related note, Jordan, Skolnick, and I enjoyed our first Cheladas yesterday at the behest of Gus Thompson. I think they are decent and although I wouldn't classify it anywhere near a beer in flavor, it would go well with some summer snacks or maybe poolside...
I hit the track this morning for some work. It was another nice morning but I can't imagine the humidity abating for long. Jordan and Meagan had matching workouts of 4-8-12-16-16-12-8-4 w/ 60 second rest. The paces prescribed were quick and I didn't run great but I tried to hang with Jordan on the middle reps. I should hopefully be able to substantially improve on my efforts this morning and maybe feel better doing it. I did something like a 200-500-1100-800-1600-1200-600-200, I wasn't happy with missing out on the first 1600 but I had to break for the restroom and I at least touched on some faster paces on the other reps. The recovery made it a pretty honest effort and I at least was able to sneak below 5:00 pace. My goal for the summer is breaking 15:00 so we'll see what happens. The picture above is my uncle's digital rendering of a wave complete with a frigate bird. I think he used only Adobe throughout the process.
