haha that's a definite Dwight Schrute quote to be.
I had a similar conversation with Rojo regarding something exceedingly more difficult modeled after Dean Karnazes' 50 in 50 in 50. The ideas was to run 50 miles in 50 hours and consume 50 beers during that time. I feel like it is a possiblity even for me (an out of shape college student).
My idea on how to do it is to just go out right at the first hour and jog 10 miles easy. Then come home and have 4-5 beers and hydrate before bed. Next, sleep in for 8 hours and jog about 2 miles to the track. Next, have your friends make a day out of the thing and bring a barbeque and beers to the track, where you'll basically hang out all day and eat and drink and run around. You can run like 12-13 minute pace for this and just lay around and run a mile every so often. Since your friends are around, you can chill out and drink beers while you do this. I figure over 8 hours, 12 beers are a possibility. If running 2-2.5 miles per hour for 8 hours, you've gotten another 20 miles out of the way.
Here are the scorecards so far:
Hours: ~20
Miles: 32
Beers: 17
Next, you'll want to take a nap for a few hours as you'll be dead. Say 4 or so. It should be night time now, so you'll be sore as shit and in need of some down time. You may be permitted to switch to something like Woodchuck or Captain Morgan's Matava Blue Berry and Kiwi Wine Cooler at this point if beer becomes too nasty as this point. The want to drink these great beverages may be great, but it is up to you to abstain until you go out and run/ hobble 2 more miles just for kicks. Now it is time to drink.
You'll pregame with your wine cooler of choice (6-7) and then it is off to the bar. Here, you'll be a mess from all of the previous drinking so it is up to your friends to feed you beers like it's your job. Expect to black out hard and go through another 6-8.
Go to sleep for 10 hours and attempt to remember where you were the night before the next morning.
Here's the scorecard:
Hours: ~40
Miles: 34
Beers: 32
Now you wake up and realize "holy shit I'm really far behind." It is now crunch time. Go out and hobble your way through the worst 9 miles of your life before waiting / sleeping 5 hours and going out for your last 7 (again even worse than the last run). Drink 2 beers in between runs.
You have now completed all 50 miles of your journey and it is time to man up and drink your last 16 beers in your remaining 3 1/2 hours or so. This can be done by pushing hard through those first 6 or so and then puking them up as a true iron stomach would.
You will now have ample room and 2 1/2 hours to put down 10 beers. You will be on the verge of death yes, but it is for the greater good. You may just drink your ass off and finish early, or have 5 minutes left with 3 beers to go and just have to rally like never before. Either way, that is how to complete the ultimate 50 in 50 drinking 50
