ST 4th Annual December 200mi running & drinking challenge - UPDATED
Quote | Reply
That's right, it's back. For the month of December, can you run 200 miles? How much can you drink while doing that?

December is a time of too many office parties, family dinners, over drinking and over eating. However, December is also a really awesome time of year to log a sh*tload of miles to help keep your waistline in check. So, here we go for challenge #4...

I'll set up the challenge in the Training Log (the other alternative is a shared GoogleDocs spreadsheet - I'll let the masses speak on this one). Last year's debacle was captured here: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=2653795

Any running counts. Water running - use your LSD pace to figure that distance out. We also log a point a standard drink (1 12oz beer, 1 5oz wine, 1 1oz spirits).

Who's in? I am aiming for 210 miles and 55 drinks! Go Go Go!
----------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) join the 200mi Dec running & drinking challenge
2) join the companion 200mi Dec running & drinking challenge - the Drinking part
3) Log your runs in the training log as usual
4) Log your drinks as "Other" - 1 minute of "Other" activity = 1 standard drink. It's total not frequency, so you can lump all your evening's drinks into ONE entry.

As a newer member of the ST community I approve of this challenge. I feel real confident in the drinking portion. We'll see about the running...

I'm sure there's a perfectly good answer for this, but why only 8oz beer? Seems like an easier and less drunk way to rack up points.

You're right, my bad, should be 12oz. I'll correct that.

You in?

I was thinking the same about a 1 oz. shot. Not to mention each spirit has drastically different alcohol contents.

Do we get extra points for extra mileage? I'm already there and I expect to put in approximately 280 - 300 miles in December, barring any setbacks.

Man, I'm going to have to get some more port. . .I can go through that shit like it's water. . . HAHAHA

The drinking will NOT be a problem. It's rackng up that kind of mileage, but if one sets their mind to it...the ST November swim challenge has certainy worked for me...hmmm...still have a few days to decide.

LOL, not so much, it's a basic tally of miles run and of drinks drunk. So 300mi will put you near the top of the pile for sure...

More info on alcohol serving sizes (vs. alcohol content)... Three Philosophers is off the chart in the beer section!

I'm in, and plus one on the port going down like water, especially in the winter next to the fireplace with the legs propped up the wall, icepacks on knees in recovery mode.

This is gonna be fun. I'm quite confident I can log the drink-milage. It'll be about 50 more miles than I had planned for December, but hey, I guess I'll chalk it up to Boston training and start a little early.

Wow, this will finally give me some sense of credit for all the drinking I do anyway... if I can only avg running 20mpw to go w/ 30-40dpw then 200 will be a piece of cake. Shame I can't retroactively count my friend's birthday the day after thanksgiving, I'd have almost a marathon under my belt already!

Refresh my memory....

I see how to log the miles, but how do we log the beers?

I believe it's a minute of "other" in the training log, once you're involved in the challenge?

I'm in.

Are there bonus points for "brick" workouts (ie: drinking 25 oz. of vodka then running 13.1 w/in 10 hours of each other - yes, I pulled this off last week).

Finally an ST game where body mass comes in handy!
