After reading about Homer's and HTL's recent achievement of four consecutive rounds of golf the other day, it kind of reminded me that Extreme Endurance events like this I find quite interesting, and are a really good mental as well as physical challenge.
I've always been quite into Powerballing, and in the relatively small Powerballing community there was talk about the possibility of spinning a Powerball non-stop for 10,000,000 revs, which it was thought would take around 22 to 24 hours. So I did it. I spun my Powerball non-stop for 24 hours. Bit of a solitary activity really, and boring as heck, but I managed just over 10,000,000 revs in that time.
So what's the most impressive endurance achievement you've ever done? Have you cycled hundreds of miles in one go? Run ultra-marathons? Perhaps just done a 24-hour silence?!

Hardly! 7000 rpm is walking pace.
As for 48 hours consuming nothing but alcohol, that's a pretty impressive endurance session!!

I played poker for 36 hours straight and I had to start in the evening, so I wasn't allowed to sleep for 48 hours in total and still concentrate.
I managed to do it, and we had a few bets riding on it, so it treated me well.
