***HU SNG REGS THREAD***

[kasparovski]

edit: forget what i just wrote, just saw that the "ironman triathlon" is almost making this 3 things in 17 hours.

but yeah, our discussion was about a "regular guy" being able to do one of those and not 2 or 3 of them.

[kps]

haha i've bet once (when been drunk obv) that i can run marathon, and i did it lol
i haven't been running for like 4-5 years, then i've started jogging 5km weekly for about 5 months and finally got drunk and run a marathon the very next day (cudnt walk for 2 days tho)

but yeah, the distance is similar to ironman triathlon (3,8km + 180km + 42,1km) where the world record is about 9h.
i had been swimming 3,0 - 3,5 km at regular training few years back, so i guess doing 10km in 4-5 h is within realms of probability.

anyway, that kind of challenge, without proper preparation cud be dangerous for ones health, or even life. i rly regret doing that run, i'm so stupid :P

[Duncelanas]

I think a relatively fit person could probably do one of the 3, and I agree with C >>>> B >>>>>>>>>>>> A in terms of ability to pull them off. This is someone in shape but without particular training.

i was saying that with the proper motivation i could probably do C, hardly B, and would be impossible to make A. Am i dreaming here about being able to do C and maybe B? not necessarily me cause i'm not even that fit but say someone would give you 1000x your usual buyin, do you think you could do any of this things?

has any of this bets (or similar) been made between ppl in 2+2?

I did 272 on MTB without training when i was 16 or 17. Everybody told me i couldnt do it without training, but i did. I started 5am and finished 7:30pm. In this time i become lost for almost 2 hours in Poland. The difference above see (I hope u know what i mean) was Over 4500m.

Swimming without training imo impossible.
Running imo "easy".

[paddygo]

ufff would be really hard to do even one of those 3. I guess i will do probabbly b and c with a lot of money but both on the same day is like going for a serious injury.

[$$$]

Running would def be ez in 24h.

[Barbra Streisand]

lol you fatties talking about running 42 km being "easy"
have some respect. i bet none of you could run for 2 miles without having at least 4 breaks.

where do i start.

are wireless/bluetooth ever going to come close to wired? i don't know much about this stuff.

please don't buy headphones just for their looks
also don't buy what poenschepper told you to (those are super awesome headphones, you just need a really good amp/dac to actually take them to their potential.
get these: Sennheiser-HD-25-1-II
or Superlux hd 668b if you want something cheaper.
But the first ones should be enough for pretty much your whole life.
Also do not buy based on reviews on online stores... visit sites dedicated for headphones if you want to actually read decent reviews.

It seems easy because you can just walk it right? And you have 24hrs to complete the walk, so unless you can't walk it would be hard to fail this challenge.

[miniwiz]

Running/walking a marathon in 24h is easy.

[Barbra Streisand]

Missed the 24h part, my mistake. yeah if youre allowed to finish 42km within 24hrs it would indeed be easy..

talking about running a marathon (so within 4-5 hrs approx)

Don't do it. I had a dream in which a bunch of us lost thousands in a running bet.

[kps]

ive finished a marthon in 4h 20min and i've walked last 5 km :P
its all about motivation
