On a warm and windy night, 24 intrepid runners faced off at Rolly MillsTrack in Edmonton for the Canadian National Beer-Miling Championships.Most notable, reigning World Beer-Miling Champion Scott Jensen was beatennot only by relative unknown Blaine Woodcock but also was unable to holdoff the late charge of Solomon Ssenyenge, who outleaned Jensen at the line.Dazed and confused, Jensen immediately talked about hanging up his spikesand referee's jersey and joining the ranks of recreational beer-miling.
