Checked that out today and I'm psyched about Cola Warrior in Georgia. Gonna skip PT for the next 12 months and train hard on chugging 72oz of coke.   You skip PT and you're screwed.

You skip PT and you're screwed. A Cola Warrior must be able to do it all. gluttony AND physical prowess? Yes. And the ability to choose when one wants to vomit and control the spray for artistic purposes A fully trained CW is a true Renaissance Man |

You skip PT and you're screwed. A Cola Warrior must be able to do it all. gluttony AND physical prowess? Indeed. The reason for the chug is to be an equalizer. Harsh but fair. |

So is it a given that everyone is going to throw up? I'm a 2 time member of the 6 pack club. I didn't puke at CW4, but did at CWE2. Most people say that if you don't puke you'll wish you did, but I didn't feel bad afterward. |

Not sure if I will be in better shape or closer to type 2 diabetic!) I'm in for trying it! hopefully the HTF get first chance at signing up for it, as it fills up very fast!

What is the penalty for puking and/or not finishing coke? Depends on how you play it; you can chug a 2 liter + 5oz of chaser or a six pack. If you choose the2 liter and blow, its a 30 minute penalty. If you chug with cans it is 5 minutes per can not downed, or if you've gotten a can down and then puke it up without being told you're clear, that can doesn't count/is a 5 minute penalty. Just understand, you WILL puke. |

There's plenty of raw materials at the Georgia CW site to build a caber or two!!! (hint, hint)
That's my favorite event to watch at the Stone Mtn. Highland Games every year!!! I have always wanted to try it!!! By dingies, if there's gonna be a caber at the SECW event, I might just have to don my kilt (skirt to you sissies) and join in!!!  
ETA: it needs to be cut ASAP so it can be drying out. A green caber is too durn heavy for it's length and diameter!!!!

I think if we are going to add a caber as an obstacle that is probably a pretty good size to go with, considering 75% of competitors failed it. |

Starting to train.
Been back on Paleo since I got back from the Augusta Shoot at RedGoat Ranch. Dropped 5 pounds this week. Today started biking a few miles in my hilly sub-div. Trying to get at least 3 days/week cardio to start. Then will start the weight/strength training. Right now at 218, and want to get to 185ish. My 45 yo body will hopefully be lean and somewhat mean by the time CWSE gets here. |

Maybe I can shoot for: finishing without having a heart attack..... After 3 miles on my mountain bike today up and down a few hills in my division, I felt like I had run a marathon. Half way into it, I thought to myself: "if I don't have a heart attack by the time I get home, it will be a good day". My goal was to get my heart rate up for 20 minutes of cardio. Mission accomplished and then some. In high school, I was a 3 sport player, ran 2-3 miles 3-4 times a week and was 185 lbs. I graduated in 1989 and haven't done that since then. I just want to finish and feel good about how I did. |

Starting to train. Been back on Paleo since I got back from the Augusta Shoot at RedGoat Ranch. Dropped 5 pounds this week. Today started biking a few miles in my hilly sub-div. Trying to get at least 3 days/week cardio to start. Then will start the weight/strength training. Right now at 218, and want to get to 185ish. My 45 yo body will hopefully be lean and somewhat mean by the time CWSE gets here. DURN!!!! If I talked myself into competing, my goal was gonna be to stay outa last place, so much for that.
Maybe I can shoot for: finishing without having a heart attack..... After 3 miles on my mountain bike today up and down a few hills in my division, I felt like I had run a marathon. Half way into it, I thought to myself: "if I don't have a heart attack by the time I get home, it will be a good day". My goal was to get my heart rate up for 20 minutes of cardio. Mission accomplished and then some. In high school, I was a 3 sport player, ran 2-3 miles 3-4 times a week and was 185 lbs. I graduated in 1989 and haven't done that since then. I just want to finish and feel good about how I did. I couldn't play sports due to severe asthma. And with an additional decade under my belt, and the fact that I'll never see the south side of 220 again,(barring HIV or some other fatal illness) you can count on me making you look good!!!! Assuming I can talk myself into embarrassing myself by entering....

My 45 yo body will hopefully be lean and somewhat mean by the time CWSE gets here. Been back on paleo as well. Currenlty down 17lbs since the shoot at Redgoat's. I'm 4 days into a keto phase that will last through the weekend and next week. Hoping to get to 185 myself. |
