I talked about every aspect of the challenge in that post? I retract my sissies statement although I think you should understand that it was to the people that thought drinking that much was impossible. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://chzmemebase.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/memes-adorbz.jpg) I mentioned I had drank that much becuase I thought it was plain my main point was it is possible. You said you don't think anyone thinks its impossible but people are saying stuff like: "I don't think this is possible" You extrapolated my words to imply i suggested drinking all 26 drinks before running. I didn't say anyone who couldn't drink 26 drinks was a sissy. I wonder when you said "did you not notice the other parts of the challenge" did you realize I was the OP? Yeah you would have to elaborate on why anything I did classifies me as short sighted. Use less "lol"s and "herp derp"s in your answer becuase it does a poor job of discrediting me | ||

Well at least if you can keep the running pace and the doughnuts flowing. I am sure you can win 26.2 games no problem in 20 hours. | ||

I'm sure if you made a graph of one's ability to win a Starcraft game vs. how drunk/tired/full of donuts one is, it would become exponentially more difficult to win as the second group of variables increases. | ||

Yeah I am sure it is, plus his arms and back are going to be nearly dead weight toward the end. Though he is leaving almost 20+ hours just for Starcraft. If he can win 3 games an hour I think he will be doing pretty good. He can just cheese out the last game if his arms die :D | ||

Question Tyler, will you be playing your normal safe macro style, or are you going to go for some all-ins to decrease the amount of time per game? Is playing on a lower-ranked smurf account allowed? | ||

Good idea, putting the doughnuts during and after the run, since all those calories will help keep your energy levels up. The pullups will be the hardest thing I think, since 260 pullups in one day is real insane. Mad respect nony, and it's real cool that you're approaching this safely and responsibly with the aid of your wife. Our university track team did a challenge similar to this one, but not nearly as awesome. We had to run 10x400m at race pace, but in between each 400 you had to chug a beer as fast as possible. Our track coach (who was one crazy dude), kept records of the students who had done it the fastest, unbeknownst to the rest of the athletic faculty. I think I threw up after the fifth or sixth lap/beer.... I've never been able to drink very much. ^_^ | ||

I think the plan seems pretty good though, Tyler is really fit so he should be able to get through the physical stuff pretty easily. I want to see Idra do this. | ||

Also I'm sure it's obvious, but I'd git the chin-ups hard the next few months. If you can do 20 in good shape, you'll be able to knock out 10 drunk and tired EZPZ. | ||

Spend a year in residence and you will find at least 1 person in your building who does this every weekend. I've cleanly polished off 26ers (750ml) of 40% captain Morgans gold rum in much less time on really good Saturdays. - admittedly with serious symptoms. Which is far beyond the expectations of that section of the challenge. Eating doughnuts is not fatal for a healthy individual. At the worst he will vomit and no this does not count as a disqualification. - In fact nothing counts as a disqualification. Its nice to read peoples ideas on a good strategy. Its not nice to read someone say something like: "I hope he has a strategy. If he blends the doughnuts and mixes it with all 26 drinks and funnels the whole thing at once while he is running then he is going to DIE!" well no shit its a bad idea but he's not going to die. You think a pro starcraft player isn't going to have a strategy? Don't say its impossible. IMO the hardest parts are the pull ups and the doughnuts. He can do the marathon in 3 - 4 segments and not really get tired but the pull ups take a real toll on your muscles. Something that you wont get back from resting. He will have to be in pretty good shape. The doughnuts well.. its just hard to eat when your full but honestly a doughnut an hour isn't that much food. You will just feel stuffed by the end which is uncomfortable. This is so doable. All you need is will power strong biceps, good cardio, and reckless abandon. For reference, I am "that guy," the one that can finish 750mL of liquor in a night without any trouble, remain relatively coherent, and wake up fine in the morning. I'm not trying to be a downer, but most people simply don't have that tolerance. Besides that, my main concern (and the concern of others) was the combination of heavy drinking with the other physical stresses, especially fatigue, dehydration, and lack of sleep.

The things I'm adding to it (sc2 wins and pull-ups) don't significantly effect the difficulty of the running and drinking combination. I'll be doing everything I can to mitigate the strain I'll be putting on my body. My wife is a 4th year medical student and she'll be with me the whole time and we're using our collective knowledge and resources to research and prepare as best as possible. The main reason I'm not worried is that I'm not going to keep drinking if it feels like it's going bad. I'll simply do the rest of the challenge and say "well, turns out I'm not a good enough drinker to complete this challenge, gl to the next guy" Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous. But of course when combined with the exercise and perhaps my refusal to sleep when my body wants to sleep, it gets more difficult. I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible. I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks! This is comforting. It's probably already in your plan, but you should make time for a few small meals. Be well. Good luck. | ||

Just because it is possible to drink 26 drinks, doesn't mean they will be able to do it amongst other things. I could bet my right nut when you were doing this challenge you had not run a marathon sometime before or during the challenge (not even mentioning the other things he has to do). It might make it that tiny bit harder, don't you agree? Maybe you doing the drinking challenge in isolation from doing anything else isn't a good comparison to make. And yeah chances are he won't die, he will just feel too sick to continue. And I didn't extrapolate your words to suggest 'drinking all 26 drinks', if you go back and look at what I actually wrote, I included 'or any amount of alcoholic drinks (before running) for that matter'. Anyway you clearly didn't read my last post so there is not much point in re-stating everything I said there again, but if you want to know why you came off as 'short sighted' read my post and particularily the part after I say 'you are being short sighted because'. As you didn't actually address any of the things I said there I'm gonna just assume you didn't read them. Anyway no point cluttering an otherwise awesome topic up with our arguing, yes I do realize now you are the OP which only surprises me more after reading your replies. | ||

Thanks! After running a marathon's worth of distance and in the midst of doing all those pullups, I predict your metabolism will be at its peak. Couple that with all the carbs in the donuts and moderate drinking in the 3 weeks prior to your challenge date, and I bet you'll accumulate even less than that (at least in the initial hours after the run). You know your own body best of course though. Anyways, what is the challenge date. Some friends and I would like to complete it alongside you  | ||
