Little Friday afternoon/eveing quiz.

I know this has probably been hashed out before but I would like some numbers. Good idea, bad idea, plain stupid idea.

Share your stories if you got them. A little youtube search showed some great videos.

Personally, it is on my things to do list.

huhh?? Is that similar to the Krispy Cream run?

On a track, chug a beer every quarter. First one done with the mile and the beers wins. Of course, in the case of the beer mile, winning is pretty subjective.

I think he's talking about Hashing.

Active (named) Hasher here. There are a handful here on BT as well: Jdicarlo, butchcantswim, and a couple others.

Great fun, great social activity, great people.

Now, if you're talking about a BEER MILE, that is different than Hashing. In that case, what I just said never existed.

Done the mile too, very....foamy....

Dunno, what's a krispy kreme run?

Beer mile = 4 laps at a track, 1 beer consumed before each lap.  Penalty lap if you hurl.  Fastest combined time wins.

Go here.

Yeah, I guess I should have defined the terms a little better.

So, any good strategy for the race, would a warm up, either excercise wise or beer wise help?

What tracks allow this - I would think the H.S. would frown on bringing alkeyhawl on school grounds?

I dont think any allows it...from what I have read and heard from others people are contacted at the last minute told to bring a DD and head to the place they decide.  Typically nobody but a few will know where and when it will take place and those that participate are kinda on call

Friends of mine do it every year on New Years Eve in a local neigborhood. A great way  to start off the evening. I will not get a chance to participate this year due to my wifes scheduled c-section that morning. Ah maybe she let me go? Undecided

I want to try both.  Except 4 miles and a dozen donuts in an hour would be tough for me since 4 miles alone would take me at least 40-45 minutes.  Give me an hour and a half and I'd win! 

 

Or maybe I could combine them - 3 miles, 1/2 dozen donuts and two beers to wash them down??

The Krispy Kreme Challenge is an annual,
student-operated race in Raleigh, North Carolina
benefiting the NC Children's Hospital. Beginning
in 2004 with a mere 10 participants,the race
has grown exponentially to a whopping 3,000
runners in the 2008 race and has rapidly become
one of NC State University's newest traditions.

Beginning at the NC State Belltower, each runner
runs 2 miles to the Krispy Kreme store located
on Peace St. in Raleigh. After downing a full dozen
of the famous Krispy Kreme doughnuts, the runner
must run the two miles back. All in one hour.

The challenge attracts a wide range of runners from
beginners to serious competitors hailing from all
corners of the country. With an expected participation
of 5,000 runners, we are expecting the 2009 race
to be our greatest (and most beneficial) race yet.

Ok, I just found my calling!!!  One more race to add to my list of events for 2009!  Perhaps we could start a Series!  In New England, it would have to be done with Dunkin Donuts.  I'm telling my wife about this one!

WOW!

It would be much harder with Dunkin Donuts - the donuts are so much heavier!  I'm kind of a donut expert.

I think that I could handle it.  I just ran 3.5 Miles last night right after downing 1/2 lb of corned beef with cabbage and carrots and potatoes and horseradish sauce!

It didn't work out very well, but I Finished!

Yeah, I think you'd have to use donut holes instead of whole donuts from Dunkins. Besides, Dunkins sux. (runs and hides, ESPECIALLY from all the already-angered Sox fans...)

Closest thing I've done to the donut thing is my college has a yearly tradition that should be happening any day now (maybe today!!!!) wherein we are awoken by the ringing of the chapel bells and the seniors running through the halls banging pots and pans. This is our cue to head to the dining hall in pjs, where we consume vast quantities of Krispy Kremes (and essentially nothing else) for breakfast. We then dress in the wildest, most outrageous outfits we can find and hike up the local mountain. At the top, we have a full southern lunch and chocolate cake and a day of skits. Best. Day. Ever.

Gotta try the beer mile, though. Wonder if it would work on a hiking trail?

So passe.

Go for the double century:

100 miles.

100 beers.

1 week.

At Penn State, they used to have an annual race, the Phi Psi 500.  Run down College Ave, then back on Beaver Ave, stopping for a beer at every bar.  There's a lot of bars on those two streets....

No way - Hollins. I guess Holyoke has something similar, though, from what I've heard. Ours is better, of course.

ETA: Holyoke wouldn't have Krispy Kremes, they'd have Dunkins.
