Bicentennial

Not really sure if this thread can live up to the one done earlier. That bicentenial thread was epic.

It's a good thing he doesn't have to drive any vans this week!

Ag188XC,

Listen, I would love to become invested in Sandy's quest to accomplish this feat but your original post isn't giving the reader much to be excited about. Who is this Sandy Beaver Character. What are his dimensions? What is his typical milage? P.R.'s maybe. And why do you have to type for him? Are there any foreseen hurdles this week. I understand that you may not want to disclose too much of his personal information, especially his name so that he may elude continual embarrassment if he fails this undertaking. If I were you I would be updating hourly. How did the 12 beer go today? Hell if I know. What are his feelings after the first day? You haven't even mentioned his second run. It's almost like you have something better to do that update this thread multiple times a day. I bet you are the type of person who says they are busy and then goes and sits in a library all day. As of right now, I am assuming Sandy must have quit already.

Ok, Ok I don't mean to nag. All I'm saying is that this is an exciting and eventful week in Sandy's life. And I would love to follow his progress.

As of now Sandy Beaver is on his 16th PBR and has run 15 miles. He felt ok on a run that was around 6:45 pace for 10 miles although he slowed down and took a different route. However, he says he didn't feel that bad. He has complained that he feels full and hungry at the same time and is very snippy and couldn't find spinach in the grocery store today. The attempt is coming along fine.

Worst Bicentennial Play by Play...... Ever.

1/10

Seriously? "Sandy Beaver?"

Today has not been so good. When I got up to run at 6:50 he was already doing a beer but that progress has stopped. After a 10 miler at 7 min. pace he came home and struggled through two beers and promptly fell asleep. As of now I think the attempt is in serious doubt. He has not risen from the couch except to pee but even that has stopped. The only good sign we have right now is a full row on the mantle of PBR. But I must stress that he is hurting. Our friend is normally efficient but needed assistance last night at the supermarket with a self checkout and left some groceries behind. He has tripped 5 times at last count over the table between the couch and the bathroom. He is humming what sounds like a drunken version Buddy Holly but it could just be groans. He is most certainly drunk now and probably will be for the rest of the day.

Buddy Holly? Weezer sucks.

AG, give us more updates. Conventional wisdom states that if one can survive two days of a bicentennial, one can complete a bicentennial. I hear he even moved a mini-fridge into the living room so that he doesn't ever have to veer from the line of couch to bathroom to re-up.

I also hear he felt so shitty on his 10-miler yesterday that he was spotted running with a girl.

I am the man doing the bicentennial. As I write this I am 15 beers deep for the day and have a few hours left to get even more ahead of schedule. Since my domestique (ag) is doing such a bad job I thought I would jump into the fray. I have been pretty wasted all day and have taken a break for a while for the run but am still a little tipsy. To all those men on my team who are reading this PLEASE COME HELP ME. I need as much help as I can get.

The runs have been interesting, the past couple have been hard but only because they were faster than usual. However this last run (a slow 5 miler) was hard because I was quite drunk and we started pretty fast, but slowed down during. Time will tell how much more miserable the runs get but I'm doing OK on the drinking...for now.

One more thing: I request that no one reveal my identity on this forum as I do not want to be guilty of illegal activities.

drunk,

sandybeaver

Running with a girl? HA. I bet she was even in the lead (i know she was). Maybe because of your wicked beer farts?

First, quite frankly the inadequate Thing posting as ag is below poor at both the play-by-play as well as slapping his guitar and "singing" emo-esque music on the roof of his porch at 2pm waking everyone from their afternoon slumbers. Jump off already!

Second, all of this nonsense will surely cause you, "Sandy Beaver," to peak way too early. I don't care how much you rationalize that doubling (at least they're not at 8min/mi or above) everyday aren't straight junk miles? You're long run should be at or above 20%, yet you attempt to cover that up, again, with your doubles. Tisk tisk! If I were a bettin' man you'll peak sometime in late September..if you're lucky (which is irrational). From what I'm gathering by this encapsulating thread, you n00bs know next to nothing about both drinking and running.

Lastly, step up or step off!

Figure me out!

THE hashslingingslasher

This thread is atrocious. However, update it. I'm putting the over-under on beers drank before concession at..... 64. Any takers on that?

You'll probably get the miles, as no one would attempt this without being able to consistently hit 100mpw, but are you through with competitive running now (hence, this is being attempted in summer rather than after a season)?

As atrocious as this thread is here is his progress. After having a rough morning on day two he hit the beer and hasn't looked back. Yesterday morning he needed someone to help him get through his shakeout. However he is well ahead pace. I apologize that this is not exciting but he is not struggling with it that much nor is he a funny drunk (he's just an asshole). No he is not in competition he is doing this as a down week (usually runs 115-120).

Progress: 55 miles 53 beers start of day 4

Update:

It is friday morning and I think I am 69 beers in. I will be so happy when this is over. My short term memory has been destroyed, I can't sleep well and yet I'm tired all the time and even the running has gotten to be the hard part. I'm glad I'm ahead on beers because otherwise finishing would be miserable. As it stands I have no doubt that I'll finish but it will be a tough last couple of days.

Apologies to the loyal readers, my domestique has been beat up by the last few runs and excused himself from updating. Thus I have taken it upon myself to update during this crucial time, the homestretch.

I am currently 88 in with about a day and a half to go. I could go for 110/110 but I feel this is enough. I will be glad to be done as "sober" will be a novel feeling for a few days. I am also curious to see how I recover from this experience in the following week.

Yesterday I ate some breakfast (don't remember what as my memory has been ruined) and for lunch went to taco bell with some friends. Ate 4 chalupas (supreme, beef) and 3 soft tacos. I was still really hungry and regretted not doing the grande meal (for the 2nd time) and instead ate my friend's cinna-twists that he didn't want. Ran 10 miles on the trails 4 hours later, felt terrible for the first few but decent by the end. Ate a family sized box of kraft mac and cheese for dinner. That was rough.

While it was relatively easy, there is no way I could've done this and maintained a real job/life/do it during finals week like Ziggy Stardust. I am sleeping so much and am at least a little drunk all the time. This will probably be the last real update as the finish is a foregone conclusion so again I am glad some people on my team got some enjoyment out of it and to the haters, I really don't think my season is in jeopardy because of this week.

Ran 15 miles in the heat and humidity this morning. Since I was at 96 going into today I decided I should just finish after the long run and rehydrate with PBR. official finishing time was 10:40 EST.

Definitely don't want to do this again. My advice is the same as the advice given in the original thread: don't attempt to do this and have a normal life at the same time. In fact, don't even try to do this at all.

Congrats

Found another guy going for it on a blog. Dude has a weird name.
