now the not so serious stuff...
Elite alc-o had a rather large entry from SHUOC, with over half running, Leeds team was myself and Niall the not-so-evil Irish Leprechaun, Andy Powell and Beany went as a tag team, and various other randoms, including Ash Bown in a full monkey costume!
Drink 1 - Pims and Coke
Nails downs it in an astounding time, closely followed by Niall, the monkey, Craney, Petey and myself. The map turns out to be an actualy o-map this yr (Cambridge must be going soft), so it's very easy for the front runners to get a good lead.
Drink 2 - pint of Strongbow
Craney and Nails fight it out, Niall just behind, followed by the monkey
Drink 3 - pint of Skol lager
Once again, Nails sets off in the lead, Craney kicks in on the running part (each loop was nearly a km) and comes back first from the 2nd run, but Nails yet again heads off in the lead. Niall still in touch, myself now caught up the monkey, but start feeling ill, so pass half my drink to Sprot.
Drink 4 - pint of Best bitter
Same as before, Craney and Nails looking pretty equal, Niall still just behind, the Nottingham pair of Bean and Powell making their tag tactics work to some use and overtake myself and the monkey. Crane, Northrop and Bourke all take tactical chunders within seconds of heading off on final loop, much to the delight of the watching crowd.
Drink 5 - pint of punch
Tactical route choice from Craney on the last loop gives him a good lead into the finish, and necked the punch in 1 go to take his 2nd title of the day. Nails thinks he's got 2nd place in the bag, but Niall the not-so-evil Irish Leprechaun sneeks in and finishes the punch in style to get the ideal position of the day. Nixon takes the leading non-chundering position (i know that's not the point of the elite alc-o, but i hate being sick!)
The social
A bit of a cock-up from someone, there's not enough seats booked in the curry house, but everyone just about manages to squeeze in. Andy Powell plus girlfriend arrive a lot later than everyone else, for one exceedingly amusing reason.
On the way to the curry house, most people need to go to the toilet, especially those who competed in the elite Alc-o, so Andy pops off to take a slash, thinks, hmm, these bushes will do, but better go out of sight, don't want to be rude or anything. So he takes a few steps forward, turns around, hmm, just that little but further...SPLASH!!!! he walks straight into the River Cam. So after pleading with Beany to drag him out (apparently he couldn't actually touch the bottom) he goes home to get changed again.
So, the social. Same shocking place as last year, different shocking DJ. Not a 50-yr old bat, some student - could be quite good we say. So after the first song finishes, he goes straight into...nothing...still nothing...aha, the next song. yep, we have another non-mixing DJ just playing a soundtrack off his computer.
So to make sure that there was still some entertainment Craney rather begrudgingly heads off to receive his prize for winning Elite Alc-o, and then proceeds to finish it off in one go, 33 seconds for the whole bottle of wine - nice work!
After this, Leeds Uni take the dancefloor, determined to be better than SHUOC at one thing throughout the day, and boy they won. After nearly an hour of hardcore gyrating a very select few from Sheffield and Cambridge join in - top moves displayed by Niall and Petey!
The social rather abruptly finished at 1130, uproar ensued, on to a club they say. No chance of that - we're in Cambridge!
So, no hospitalisation, no late nite antics, bloody hell, there weren't even any random pulls!!! Let's hope Edinburgh this weekend is better

There's some photos of the weekend at http://www.ceeej.co.uk/cambridge_sprint-o.htm, though they are mainly Oxford biased! If anyone wants to add them to the Nope pics page I'm sure CJ won't mind.
Will? We've got proper fire now!
