How to Miss the Olympic Qualifying Time: Part 2

First, Bill Kvashay missed the 1984 Marathon Olympic Trial time because he was turned away from Franklin Field as he was about to enter for the 3/4 lap to the finish of his 2:16 triumph.

Fast forward to this year and Tyler McCandless's one second miss because a lead bike took him off course at the San Fransisco Half Marathon.

But the best way to miss qualifying might be this guy's effort to drink 13 12-ounce beers while running the same race.  Vomiting 3 times and blacking out between the 11th and 12th miles kind of makes it hard to run under 1:05:00. ( More like 5:00:00, if you call what he did a success!)  Read the whole harrowing tale, and don't try this at home.
