Day Four of 100 Beers, 100 Miles!

No one disputes that you would have a tougher time with 100/100. They are disputing the fact that you are doing 70/100 and calling it 100/100.

Nice junk. What's that tattoo?

The blog is about all 3 of them, and 2 of them are doing the full whack. So it would be a bit cumbersome to explain exactly what was going on the title wouldn't it?

It's not like the fact that the woman is only doing 70 beers is some sort of secret.

Get over it manly men. Go drink a few beers or run a 10 miler in 5 minute miling like real men normally do on a friday.

Let's think about this logically. I think the evolution of this could go one of two ways:

(1) Either there is a separate event for women, like the 75/75 that keeps its own records. Kind of like the decathlon and heptathlon.

(2) Or we remove the rule about this having to be done in one week. However long it takes to cover the distance is however long it takes, just like in a running race. This way if women generally need longer that is fine, we are already used to this from the world of running and have accepted it. There could still be world record times for each sex. There would still be meaningful barriers that could serve as badges of honor, such as 168 hours (1 week), 150 hours (nice round number), 120 hours (5 days - an average of 20 miles and 20 beers a day), 100 hours (the tricentennial), etc.

A woman may never break 100 hours, but so what? A woman may never break 4 minutes for the mile either. They can still run damn fast. I am impressed with a 3:58 1500 from Shannon Rowbury, just as a I would be impressed with a female finishing the 100/100 in 150 hours (or whatever ends up being a world class time for women in this event).

THAT IS MY PROPOSAL. Stark, you have the opportunity here to do the 100/100 and set the first women's world record in this event. Even if it takes you 8 days, go for it! Don't stop at 70 with this 70/100 bullshit. You can do it!

Please, all you manly men, can you tell me how it feels when your time of the month is postponed because you're doing extreme sports and extreme drinking?

Can you tell me how you factor in the fact that you weigh more and you have more water weight at the moment into the miles and the beers? You can't drink as much, you can't run as efficiently if you feel like a whale.

Can you tell me how it feels to be bloated and cramping and have to run 16 miles and drink 10 beers in one day, when really you want to sit in your bed and eat ice cream?

Can you tell me how you balance doing a challenge that is catered to a man when you are a woman?

Sounds like you're having a lot of fun. So, why exactly are you doing this?

Going along with this for one post, I wonder what the equivalents would be to running?

79 hours - Fast Guy - probably like a 3:50 mile?

97 hours - Fast Guy - 3:59

100 hours - seems like a 4:00 mile, yes?

151 hours - Ziggy - 4:25 mile - not bad for an innovator

1 week - seems like a 4:30 mile? not easy, will take some real effort and preparation; probably only a few world class women can reach this?

8 days (averaging 12.5/12.5 each day) - 5 minute mile? seems challenging but attainable for a hard working woman

Thoughts?

I really wish I had time to do this when I was in school. I've put down 150 beers in a week and have run 164 miles in a week (not the same week obviously). I really think I could have given fast guy a run for his money at my peak.

As an example of my running/drinking, I did 24 miles and 24 beers in 7:13.

Waaah, I'm smaller than those guys!!

I'll do the TRICRYcentennial:

100 Miles

70 beers

30 WHINES.

Still adds up to 200.

They should have an altitude division. Imagine doing this in Boulder.

Does this mean you're doing all these miles while on fire or being chased by lions or something?

that would be pretty baller. get two guys in one house and race

and yes, there is a rule as to alcohol content. 5.0% is what is listed on beermile.com. also established in

see page 13

Do beer mile rules automatically apply to the bicentennial?

Is the fact that Fats and Fast agreed to 5% really the final say on bicentennial rules?

I feel that a LRC congress needs to be convened. Voices must be heard and arguments weighed before any rules are set in stone.

EVERY time this challenge comes up, one of the first posts is always someone making sure that the beer is 5%. Although on an earlier thread, it was decided that PBR was allowed because, even though its only 4.74%, Clint Eastwood drinks it.

This may have been answered in the previous thread but I think the real question is "What happened to Tuesday?"

According to the Blog:

Day 1 - Sunday, March 18

Day 2 - Monday, March 19

Day 3 - Wednesday March 21

Day 4 - Thursday, March 22

If they are not doing 7 consecutive days, they are really wrong and this does not count. That said, they may have just misnamed a day or 2.

Ahh, the old argumentum ad populum AND argumentum ad verecundiam rolled into one!

You have made a persuasive argument, so the LRC congressional convention to establish the bylaws of the Bicentennial will not be needed after all. I will let my mom know that we will not be holding the meeting in her basement.

F*ck that, 5% means 5%.

There shouldn't be any dispute about a 5% rule. PBR should be allowed with an asterisk because the badass Clint Eastwood drinks it. Anybody that can stomach the taste of 100 PBR's is in a whole different class of badass anyway, so it should be allowed.

I like the idea of women completing the entire challenge at full strength in however long is required.

What I don't like is women continually whining in their own thread about how hard it is to be a woman. You know letsrun. Anything you put up here will be ripped to shreds. Embrace it. Another thought...when you this thing right the next time, you may want to consider not doing it during your period. Just a thought.

Fast guy please weigh in on these topics. At this point I can't come up with any reason for you not to be the sole voice of authority on all beer challenge decisions.
