What's pubgaining you might ask? It's pub crawling and rogaining (Aussie orienteering) mixed into one fun game. For more on rogaining, check out wikipedia.

Well, Justin and I (as team Lost) decided to traverse Sydney via running rather than take the train or bus. Rules of the game included: for every round of drinks we ordered at a bar (as evidenced by a receipt), we scored double points for the location. So, we decided to start slow and drink only Coke at the beginning but then got beer towards the end. All in all I think we got 5 alcoholic drinks, but who was really counting! We stumbled back just in time to check out. Ultimately, at 590 points and 11 bars (out of 30), Team Lost scored itself a 4th place position. It is the first time Team Lost was in a single digit position. Woohoo! Although only 10 teams competed in this event...

I must say it was one of the most fun events I've competed in requiring navigational skill, strategy, alcohol tolerance, cardio fitness and a large bladder!

Never fear, NYers, I plan to set up a pubgaine in NYC when I get back! We should have a dinner beforehand tho so people don't get run over by cars as they amble without coordination along the streets after a Delirium Tremins from Markt!
