Last year the Health practice couldn't pull together a team, so it was Pension vs. P&C. 5 people, (2 girls), 24 beers. Lots of rules, including a penalty for puking. Last year, the Pension team was winning pretty solidly, then a member of the P&C team tossed their cookies. We coasted across the finish line after that. This year the rules changed a little. We went up to 6 people, (2 girls), and 30 beers. Deloitte Pension practice only has 2 girls under the age of 35, and one of them, Alli, was on vacation, so they asked me to come back for it. I was a little concerned because Alli & Kurt, two of our best teammates from last time, were on vacation (together, they are dating). Alli & Kurt were replaced by Sameer & Katie. Katie weighs about 90lbs, and Sameer talks more than he drinks. Plus, this year, I am a year older, and much farther from my prime drinking days. And, to top it all off, Health put together a team this time. As I looked around, I saw a lot of faces fresh out of college. And I hoped that my team's "experience" would help us out.
1 minute in... Our plan was to drink one beer while pouring our other 4 beers into cups to speek our drinking up.
4 minutes in... This is a lot of liquid. Gurgle gurgle.
7 minutes into the race, I felt like we were doing pretty good. I looked around and it looked like the other teams had a lot more cups of beer left. But, I didn't want to get comfortable.
10 minutes in... Starting to feel a little gross. I slow down my drinking a little to avoid the pukey penalty. Sameer is not looking too good. Fortunately, our MVP Griffin is picking up the slack and drinking 7 beers on his own.
14 minutes in... Pension team finishes the last drop of beer. VICTORY IS OURS once again!
18 minutes in... P&C and Health have a photo finish for 2nd place. P&C came in 2nd.
Go Team PBGC!
This is the Actuari-owl trophy, which Pension gets to keep until the next case race. We even added Pension on the back of the Owl, like the Oaken Bucket.
