Ep102 - Beer Mile Worlds Controversies & Recap: Elizabeth Laseter discusses DQ after setting World Record; Newcomer Melanie Pozdol wins world crown; Corey Bellemore sets new WR with cans

The 2022 Beer Mile World Classic made headlines across Outside Magazine, Runner's World, Food & Wine, and Women's Running for a number of reasons. For starters, Corey Bellemore set a new Beer Mile World Record with cans in 4:49. Elizabeth Laseter also set a new world record on the women's side — or rather, she would have but was disqualified for drinking outside of the chug zone. Elizabeth joins us today to talk through that DQ. Thanks to the fastest chugging in the field, Melanie Pozdol took the women's title in 6:41 and joins the show today to share her experience competing on the world stage for the first time. The cans vs bottles debate is getting its time in the limelight as this was the first-ever beer mile world championship requiring the use of cans due to the host facility restricting glass. The use of cans also made this a throwback to beer mile origins where cans were always used instead of bottles.  This is a fun conversation with Elizabeth and Melanie taking you behind the scenes of the beer mile world champs and all the partying, glory, and tomfoolery that go along with it.  Watch the men's race here: https://youtu.be/VU6pdURPTGs Watch the women's race here: https://youtu.be/PTsIFQCSL_M ------------ Use code BEERMILE20 for 20% Off at Athletic Brewing Beer Use code BEERMILEPOD for 20% off at KNOCKAROUND.COM Get uncut/uncensored and bonus content, plus show your support for the show by joining us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/beermile Merch: https://thebeermile.org/collections/beer-mile ------------ Help us grow the show: Sauce us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Join our Patreon for exclusive, uncut and uncensored content + big giveaways: https://www.patreon.com/beermile Subscribe to Beer Mile Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/beermilemedia Social Follow Beer Mile Media on Instagram Follow Beer Mile Media on Facebook Follow Beer Mile Media on Twitter Follow Beer Mile Media on TikTok Join the Beer Mile Strava Club
