There were calls for restraint in the updates from the pintmen of Cambridge days gone by, as the constant updates were considered bragging by someone only just starting the challenge

Hi, Tom here.
~9 miles around a .3 mile field (the only flat place within a mile of the hostel) got pretty mind-numbing pretty quick. Decided to mix it up a bit by getting some decent stretching done once thoroughly warmed up.
RE the public, I'm being kept well away from the public. That being said, we're off the the cinema in a few minutes. Hopefully they'll be ok with me smuggling in a backpack of drinks.
Can-stack image incoming
For damage control we've been keeping him cooped up in the hostel, but for LRC enjoyment we'll release him to the world.
Hopefully the boio doesn't die on us out there.
Keep stacking them high, brother!
How would this put the 'triple century', which has been done several times, to shame? This is a slower rate.
UPDATE
This evening's entertainment was a trip to the movies to see "Molly's Game", our hero was unwilling to let being out of the hostel get in the way of Alistair Cook-esque accumulation of "points". To avoid being inhibited by the fun police, tinnies (DarkFruits) were stashed in a back pack, disguised to look like it was being carried back from the gym.
The goods were successfully smuggled past the officious movie staff, TOM found his seat and halfheartedly attempted to instigate a menage-a-trois with the couple trapped next to him. Taking his weak bladder into account, he went out hard necking two cans within the first 20mins of the movie before excusing himself, on his consumed the remaining two in his now trade mark no-nonsense style. Unfortunately he was only able to stay in his seat for another 40mins before nature called, the discontent of the those asked to stand for him to pass for the second time was a little more than mild. After troubling no less than two separate urinals, TOM returned but did not have the bottle to risk rejection by the couple again, choosing to move to a spare seat instead. The rest of the movie past without incident.
A word with the man himself:
Probability of completion?
0.875 (2.5% chance of missing the booze, 10% chance of injury)
When was last time you were sober?
This morning.... probably ... I mean you've seen me in the morning, im not pissed in the morning
How are the legs?
Booze makes then feel a lot better, genuinely think booze is a performance enhancing drug for long slow miles
Current break down?
Today: 16miles - 10 pints so far (gunna try get 7 more in before bed)
Total: 57pints - 69(oioi) miles
Slept for 9.5 hours last night so hoping for something similar again
because that's bottles of beer not pints .... you NARP!
Never
Again,
Rate
Poorly
This whole thread is still garbage, I think he's pouring the tinnies down the drain. This boy looks like an albino walrus had an awful baby with the pillsbury dough boy. Even a mother's love.. idk fam
Come back when you have a real beer athlete who can achieve a challenge like this with panache.
I think you should give the guy some credit. Sure he looks like "bread dough" or imo mozzarella cheese with a face (mozzafella?). But he's getting the pints in, and it sounds like he's on pace for this.
Looking forward to more in-depth updates Chuggs!

Umm no. In my world, a triple 100 is imperial pints. And it's been done on numerous occasions. I was a spectator at one in the 80's.
TOM finished up last night at 0150 on 64 pints and 69 miles
He is yet to be seen this morning
The group are session is 3x12mins, it will be interesting how much of this he will get through, could be good for moral to get though 7 fast miles with a group.
Tonight is the traditional "Mental Night" where the rest of the cohort will be getting suitably boozed, again having a few drinking buddies could push him along, but could also push him into "the red".
Stay tuned,
CBx

2018. A Year of hope. A year of perseverance. A year of myth-making. Tom "Chugs" Bunny from the city that never sleeps, Chester-le-Street, the BIG APPLE of the UK. He's spent his whole life running 35 miles a week, bar the last two years when he's just been injured but now, after careful stomach lining and pint preparation, he's ready for the ultimate challenge.
For the Americans among us, 115 pints equates to 65,320mL of beer, or or 138 american weak-ass pints. This thread will be the documentation of an endurance event that puts the triple century, and triple 72 to shame. As it stands, from 12:08pm today Tom has ran 16 miles in three runs (6, 7, 3), and currently on 10 pints, and going...
Hopefully Americans will realise that across the Atlantic new frontiers are being pioneered in the outer limits of run-drinking. There is a manifest destiny, and it's booze!
You're an inspiration, Sir. I'm planning on doing something similar next year, except with heroin instead of alcohol.

For a Cambridge econ student your understanding of how probabilities needs help.
Crack on though lad, you're basically there now.

??? 3 possible outcomes; Completion + Failure scenario 1 + Failure scenario 2
Total probability always equal 1
0.875 + 0.025 + 0.1 == 1
?? ?
January 11th updates? Miles and beers/ciders in progress?

That looks good to me assuming getting injured and not being able to finish the booze are independent events. Maybe he was criticizing the values you assigned to each probability?
Doped to the gills!
where's LetsDrink.com when you need him?
TOM is currently the 9th most boozed person in the room
85miles 72 pints At this point
Hasn't got a muscle on him and that ol' pudgy beer belly is sickening but it's the perfect setup for achieving this..
