No Thanksgiving plans, no work Friday. Should I attempt the Triple Century? (100 miles + 100 beers in 100 hours)

Here it is: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=4974186

oh please, thank you!

That was a great LRC thread.

Ranks up there with "I'm in a coffee shop and girl studying for MCAT' thread.

Cans of beer.

It is 100 cans of beer because most people go somewhere to do it, like a lake or the mountains, etc. You can get 100 cans of beer in two coolers pretty easily. You can do bottles, but they have to be 12 ounce bottles

It cannot be light beer.

Basically the same rules as the beer mile.

It was already done by Fast Guy, circa 2011. He has the current world record (as far as we know) for 100 beers 100 miles (finished in 79 hours I think). The burden of proof was pretty high. We set up a twitter account and filmed the final mile and posted regular updates

Here are some threads from that:

Yeah we did it twice in a couple months. Once with bud light (ruined my ability to drink bud light) in 97 hours, got ridiculed for using bud light. Did it again with bud heavy (ruined my ability to drink bud heavy) in 79:44, got ridiculed for wearing jorts. Regardless of what you do, you're going to get ridiculed. But that's just letsrun

I have no need to do it again. Unless someone breaks the record...

Ya know, I saw this triple done back in the ? early 80's or late 70's (YP ,where are you now?). Isle of Man....yes...imperial pints. The fact that folks are still debating if it can be done with pathetic 8 oz cans or something, tells me that either YP was truly exceptional in this area, or that guys just can't drink and run like they used to. (Probably both).

As of now, I am planning to attempt this. Unless I get talked out of it in the next 22 hours, I'll be starting at about 5pm tomorrow, after work. Will make a new thread then.

I had read the Fast/Fats threads long ago, but I didn't realize he did it in 79 hours. That's crazy and there's no way I'll even try to approach that. Although...I might.

I am planning on using 12oz cans of 5% beer. Something like Coors Banquet.

The 100 beers bit is quite misleading - are we talking 330ml bottles, 500's, pints?

Good point. There should be 3 categories instead. 1/2 bbl, pony keg, and sixtel.

1/2 bbl would be good for a week challenge, pony keg maybe for the long weekend. Sixtel if you are just a hobby drinker.

This is reminiscent of the good old days here where a kid did 3 miles (I think) every hour for 24 hours and reported here every hour. It was one of the all time great threads.

You don't need the beers. Just run 100 miles in 100 hours.[/quote]

I drank a case of PBR 12 oz cans in one day. It was not easy. I could not imagine doing this for 4 straight days. No, no no.

And most of you kids on this site are skinny a$$ pu$$es. Especially anyone who also wants to run 24 miles a day for 4 days straight. And I say kids because you better be young if you want to do this.

Most of you couldn't drink a shot of beer a minute for one hour. So, thus I proclaim, you couldn't even out drink my wife.

Basically the same rules as the beer mile.

But cans come in packs that are multiples of 6 and 100 is not divisible by 6.

4 cases is 96 beers. 30 packs would be 90 or 120. Can't get to 100 without doing something weird like buying a 4 pack. There are plenty of craft 5 packs in 12 oz cans or bottles, but 4 packs of tall boys is more traditional.

Glad you're doing your part to make America great again!

Please don't do this.

I am all for running and drinking some beer but why not volunteer to do something for someone else instead? Maybe on Thanksgiving ask if any of your relatives need some help with a house project? It just seems binge drinking and injury likely running is not the best use of ones time.

OP, we'll be living vicariously through you. Don't die out there. Why not mix up the beers? Throw in a couple of those seasonal variety 12 packs the big craft brewers sell, mix up the stash and drink the first thing your hand touches in the fridge/cooler. We'll all get a huge kick out of you drinking a few gingerbread ales and coffee stouts along the way.

I know a guy who did the 100/100 in a week a few years back, and he just got his 3rd DUI.

Not trying to say there's anything wrong with going for it, but take a look at yourself and get help if you need it.

WTF is an 8oz can?!

We aren't making rum and cokes here and need a soda mixer. Get that sissy junk out of here.

12oz cans. Make America Great with Cans.

you can do it! wrote:

I remember reading somewhere that a few days with no REM does permanent mental damage.

I'd just drink the 100 beers and leave it at that.

I... I just... I've got nothing...

the banquet beer is a good beer. I think I did 4x24 packs and 1x6 pack each time. the first time we did it I was shooting for 100/100 in a week but got way ahead on pace and ended up near 100 hours. the second time I was shooting for 80 hours from the start. that's nearly a day's difference and a big one

suggestion to have friends on hand for both the running (safety) and drinking (motivation)
