The Thunder 50/50 Mini Challenge (Read 2568 times)

    Foul!  The man is trying to observe Lent  and you're baiting him. 

     Dude. That's what Lent is all about. Sacrifice in the face of temptation.

     

    Thunder is helping him stay on the path to enlightenment. Oh wait that's not what the Priest told us last night. I'll have to get back to you on that after i check my notes.

    Was it all a dream?

      Oh and I wonder if that 3.2 % beer thing in Minnesota gave ole Schneider a little edge on his impressive feat of '08. 

       

      Heh. Nice.  3.2 is a grocery store thing.  Like an upstanding Minnesotan, I went to the liquor store to get normal beer.

      I'm in the business of misery...

        Plus, as any good Catholic knows, giving up alchol is a sin.  Jesus made wine from water...so why the heck would we drink water?  Duh.

        V2 is dead...there is only Thunder Classic.  Same great taste as before.

          I respect your running and drinking abilities.  I shouldn't have doubted you.  Please forgive my err.

            on 7-26 Scovill ran 12.2 & had 23 drinks then on 7-27 ran 26 miles and 10 drinks.

            mta: only 1 person finished the 100 & 100 Schneidr.

               Yeah and you're too scared to even do the 50/50.  King of beasts...ha!  More like King of pansy beasts!

                On pure points I can run more miles (points) than you can run and drink (points).

                 

                mta: I dont want to only run 50 in a week, and 50 beers in a week would fuck me up for a month.

                  This is great for us armchair 50/50 types. We have plenty of options for wagers.

                   

                  Will Thunder be able to beat A1's mini challenge? What's the over under on first to the line (Veags currently sets the mark aat 3.5 days). Who will win? Who will place? We already know who is showing. Purdey - what are the bookmakers across the pond saying?

                   

                  Time to place some bets people.

                   

                  Disclaimer - I did not give up gambling for Lent just alcohol.

                    Thunder, a couple things.  First, please change the text in the original post to say that the competition is from 8am on Saturday 2/20 til 7:59 am next Saturday 2/27.


                    Second, you could use a table like Dakota does for the weekly race thread and just updated it once a day:

                    No need any more for external spreadsheets thanks to our illustrious leader, Eric : ) ... who by the way was fortunate enough to break bread with yours truly last night along with Dragon the Lovely and jpdeaux.

                      And, yeah, it's starting to really sink in what a bad idea this is...but I'm committed now.

                        Mikey, did you get to ride in the RAmobile?

                          No, with some of your NIH grant money we rented a stretch Cadillac Escalade so nobody would have to drive.  Thanks for linking your account to the RA account by the way, that worked out awesomely.


                          We've Got Big Hills

                            Hey Mikey, how much did you donate?

                                Great idea Mikey.  I'm thinking you need a title in this.  You're quite the helper.  How about "The Mini Thunder 50/50 Challenge brought to you by MikeyMike"
