100 miles and 100 pints in one week.

[Andrew_Culture]

A friend just pointed me in the direction of the Obituary of Andy Holden, it's quite amazing reading.

In an era when the enthusiastic amateur could still excel in athletics, Holden — a dentist by profession — managed to compete at the highest level without sacrificing his passion for real ale. He reputedly drank 10 pints of beer the night before winning the Bermuda marathon in 1979.

At his peak, he achieved an ambition to run 100 miles and drink 100 pints in a single week.

What a great life!

" he would regularly perform an after-race trick of drinking a pint while standing on his head — once while he was up a tree"

We are not worthy, we are not worthy...

Ha, topic-wise yes, intention-wise probably not

Staying "dry" it is then, good luck.
