you'll need a back up team following you in a boat for safety reasons, plus a lot of training beforehand and all the logisitics worked out

Maybe sponsorship by an organisation is the route to go to cover these costs


I know this from when I swum the channel. That took me 26 hours.

400 miles in 96 hours?
A constant 4mph swimming for 4 days.

Its a hell of a challenge which I would be happy to sponsor for a few quid, but you will need a fortnight.

Post by: Hairydude on June 10, 2008, 09:05:24 PM
whats the angle??? are you swimming each leg individually- i.e swimming 1 leg of the trip one day-stopping for a few days then doing the next leg etc??


Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: ItsMrAlex2u on June 10, 2008, 09:10:29 PM

Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: Rooky9 on June 10, 2008, 09:10:57 PM
How big are these flippers?!! I'd say an average of 3 or 4 miles an hour tops, for about 5 hours max. The key thing is this,

whats the angle??? are you swimming each leg individually- i.e swimming 1 leg of the trip one day-stopping for a few days then doing the next leg etc??

though surely it just wouldnt even be considered to do it one go! I'd stake my life on the impossibility of doing it in pretty much one go.

Few more details on the timescale for when it'll happen and the timetable for doing it.


Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: Hairydude on June 10, 2008, 09:13:58 PM
I was thinking that myself but thats why I think there must be an angle- I could probably swim 400 miles in 96 hours total and I'm crap-just swim a mile a day and be done in just over a year- no need to work with a safe $100,000 in the bank for a wee bit of work a day


Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: Rooky9 on June 10, 2008, 09:24:05 PM
Swiming is harder than walking. I couldnt walk 400 miles in four days. the muscle pain would be too much and there isn't a really a cardio element with it.

A 100m sprinter reaches about 23mph at his top speed.

I'm thinking the worlds fastest swimmer would still take 11 minutes a mile - meaning an average of about 5.5 miles an hour - and that is using a sprint swimmer not a long distance one.

This is absolutely impossible.


Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: Woodsey on June 10, 2008, 09:39:11 PM
Even elite swimmers when talking about much training they have done, often refer distances around the 100 miles/week mark. I suggest you give yourself more in the region of 3-4 weeks and be in amazing shape to even give yourself a chance of finishing.


Title: Re: prop bets,,im maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Post by: sofa----king on June 10, 2008, 10:40:37 PM
you are giving me doubts ,.,.,but it is a massive diffrence with flippers/gloves on.,.,
 as to 4 days it is four days in the same week consecutive.,.,whos in for the money then??ive had a few pm's,
what  i have said is true aprox 400 miles in 4 days e.g  1st tue 2nd wed 3rd thur 4th fri.,. of july 2008 weather permitting these days,,,the longest leg ive  done in practice was 36 miles against the wind in 12 hoursan average of 3 miles per hour.,.,my big concern is the weather,,it could really go aginst me if the wind changes against me.,.,but if wind behind it wont make a massive diffrence,,,

Probably the greatest ultra distance swimmer ever known [1] manages around 1.5mph over 11 hours in open warm water. It look him 10 days to swim 90 miles across the Maldives.

I'd suggest that doing 4mph for 96 hours straight - even with fins on - is, err, a tad unrealistic.

I'm assuming that this is some kind of wind up as this is clearly impossible.

Just in case it's not a wind up though, put me down for a grand.

Like Red dog I will donate 30% of my winnings to charity. Wouldn't like them to lose out.

Out of interest why are you offering 2 to 1? Are you a particularly bad book maker? You could've got all these bets taken if you'd offered 5 to 1 on!!

More people might've believed this was real then as well.

If I'm wrong and you're serious then I apologise for this and wish you the very best of luck. I might even come and watch because if you do this it will be epic to have been there. Try comparing it to Sir Roger Bannister, Sir Donald Campbell, Sir Ranulph Fiennes..... You get the idea. It really is that big!!!

Do you like the idea of Sir Sofa??

What happens when you get round the other side of the Island? Surely everything goes the opposite way then??

Please cancel the bets mate. You're going to lose!!

Go for the sponsorship and donate some to charity yourself. I'll gladly sponsor this and give a bonus if you complete it in time but it can't be done.

If you do it you'll be in all the papers as a hero because you've made all this money for charity. Then some reporter will find out about your prop bet and spin it against you so that you look like a scumbag.

Either way you lose.

I still think it's a wind up though  :)

The world record for fin swimming is an average of 4.5mph over slightly less than a mile in a pool.

You're planning on swimming for four days straight at 4.16mph without stopping.

If you manage it in forty days I'll be amazed.

The day I delivered the fins, was like Christmas at the club.The kids were
so happy.
On December 22/23 they swam a 24 hour competition. They swam a
worldrecord in fin-swimming with 99.450m and in life-saving with fins
82.854m. They will be in the new Guiness book of records. A good
advertisment for your business. In the Spanish paper it said: el Asensi
bate tres records mondial en sus 24 horas. The third one was in masters
swimming.

is that 62 miles in 24 hours?

is that 62 miles in 24 hours?


Yes it is.

In a pool.

By a relay team of 16 swimmers.

It was also immersed which is much more efficient. You can't do that if you're on your own.

http://www.ilseswims.com/22662/index.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val*

Check out this link.

41 miles in 11 hours on a round Jersey swim which is tidally assisted. Admittedly no fins so it makes sofa's attempt a little bit more feasible.

To maintain this for 96hours though?? Surely it can't be done. He'll need at least 5 hours sleep per day so that puts him down to 76 hours.

I need to know if this is for real Sofa. I'm seriously considering coming over there to watch if it is.

sofa can you give us a link to the flip fins and gloves you'll be wearing?

also can you give us an idea of how the tides and wind will help/hinder you? I asume that you've calculated when to go to sleep so that you'll be pushed in the right direction? how far do you think you'll travel like that?

How are you going to get the bet verified if you complete it?  Is there anyone reputable we can escrow with before hand?  If the swim goes unattempted within that month timeframe do we win?  Please add a term that under no condition can any equipment other than that specified, or any equipment specified that contains a motor means the bet is exempt

Erm sofa......

Are you aware that those gloves will actually make it harder for you?

The fins are good but the gloves will just cause resistance. They are actually a training aid used by swimmers to make them faster when they take them off.

How are you planning to swim this? I assume because of the life jacket that you are planning to be on your back kicking your legs like some kind of crazy person??

If you're doing any kind kind of face down stroke then you really need to lose the life jacket. It's just another drag factor against you and you've got your support team if you sink  :)

if I read it right, Sofa is putting up $200,000 at 2/1 with a max of $1000 per punter that he can do it.

My Dad's hobby is genealogy. He's traced our family back 11 generations (you need to be nobilty to get back any further - Joe Public didn't have their births, deaths or marriages recorded before then) and his tree includes about 1800 names. He's found loads of distant cousins all over the world including one, who funnily enough, works in Limassol market.

Anyway, if I register 200 of the living ones on blonde would you reserve the rest of the book for the Longines clan please Sofa?  ;)

well thats fucked that up now.,..,you were close.,.,but not close enough,who told you?????
only 2 people knew.,.,.,.,.,.on this forum,,,
this thread did start out for real in my honest heart i really did think about it,but then it just ecalated and i got in to deep to get out,4 days to swim 400 miles.,.,be serious..,the top marathon runners in the world could not jog 4 x 25 mile marathons a day for 4 consecutive days.,.,.,get real prop betters,,,,,i was going to then swim in my friends 120 foot long boat with 28 foot pool filled with cyprus sea water for 4 days unaided, while he cruised around the island for 4 days,
now here comes the good part out of this.,.,.,.,..,i was gonna run this up until the start date and then offer all the people who had put money on this to either cough up there money which i wouldnt have done.,.
 or DONATE $10 dollars each for there greed in not spotting the angle it really could have cost them a few quid,check all my posts on this and i have not lied once,,,questions were asked and i answered them honestley,apart from my practice days,which was a load of bollox,,,,
 i have promised someone on here that every person i get to bet on this ridiculous task that i would give $4 for everyone that put there name down to bet,,,,i was expecting 100  or so punters.,.,.i think i had about 20 or so interested but im sure i would have had a few more,,,,,
SO HERE IT IS IN BLACK AND WHITE just think you big punters who was gonna whack on £500,£1000 at 2-1 and i can assure you all you would have lost if i would have and could have carried this through,.,.,of which i wouldnt have done..,i say to you would you rather throw a $10 into a pot for a very,very good cause where it could have cost you a lot more,.,., for every $10 that gets put in i will put $4 with it,, i will only say it once ,REECE,MO.
put your names on here .,.,.,.,.
to be honest i only had good intentions from the start and i knew that someone nice will benefit from this giant task,,,i had no intentions of doing the trip in or out of the boat,i just wanted to see who was mad enough to think that i COULDNT do this and to bet on it.,.,.,.,it was a bit of a teach yall a lesson about prop betting and to make sure you know the full rules when  you bet.
i hope i havent upset anyone by this and if i had im sorry,but get your $10 out and make me pay.,.,.,.,

this thread is the defination of two words

  • slowroll
  • bathos
"it is now used more broadly to cover any ridiculous artwork or performance. More strictly speaking, bathos is unintended humour"

I had to look it up LoL.

Sofa, I take it what you actually mean is that because you were rumbled you cant actually carry this through.

I have no problem paying the $10, but you should have to do something bad for it.

So did you go out the other day and actually swim for 36 miles in 12 hours - was that in a boat, real, or a lie? Also was the pool on the back or the front of the boat?!!

Just seems like an extremely odd and far fetched way of trying to just raise a few donations/pledges.

Most people on here have their heart in the right place and will (and do) donate to good causes. I just dont follow the idea of coming up with a redic scenario as a means of getting the pledges and then when you are rumbled, you then say "haha it was just a joke".
Just all seems v odd to me !

But then again, so does ...,.,.,.,...////.,,...,...,.,.,.,.,.//

For what its worth, I will also gladly dontate the $10. Next time though why not just ask?

to be honest mate as ive said it started off as a real challenge,,i was gonna maybe look into doing it for real but when i started thinking of the time scale and effort.,.,well i just thought i got no chance even if it was over 2,3,4 months with work commitments etc,,but i had mentioned charity and then i was feeling a bit guilty,so i ttried to think of some good comming from the first post.,.,and this is what i ended up with lol.,.,
anyways thanks for your $10 you all know where its going and allways remember get all the details before you prop bet anyone...

Dressing up in the wetsuit clobber (flipers, goves and a wetsuit thingy) and walking around town (a tourist town) in the midday heat, all being on video and camera of course.

For the record I don't think you would have had a claim over the stakes, you told a few fibs along the way!

This would be some addition to the next blonde bash weekend, should save loadsa money by not bothering with a ring or nothing like that and just make it a straight out street fight. Seriously though if it didn't get a bit over the top and to personal (which may already be to late) this could be great fun and raise quite a lot of money. ;carlocitrone;

One deeply suspects that yer support boat has a pool in which you will swim lengths as it circumnavigates the island.....

well thats fucked that up now.,..,you were close.,.,but not close enough,who told you?????
only 2 people knew.,.,.,.,.,.on this forum,,,
this thread did start out for real in my honest heart i really did think about it,but then it just ecalated and i got in to deep to get out,4 days to swim 400 miles.,.,be serious..,the top marathon runners in the world could not jog 4 x 25 mile marathons a day for 4 consecutive days.,.,.,get real prop betters,,,,,i was going to then swim in my friends 120 foot long boat with 28 foot pool filled with cyprus sea water for 4 days unaided, while he cruised around the island for 4 days,
now here comes the good part out of this.,.,.,.,..,i was gonna run this up until the start date and then offer all the people who had put money on this to either cough up there money which i wouldnt have done.,.
 or DONATE $10 dollars each for there greed in not spotting the angle it really could have cost them a few quid,check all my posts on this and i have not lied once,,,questions were asked and i answered them honestley,apart from my practice days,which was a load of bollox,,,,
 i have promised someone on here that every person i get to bet on this ridiculous task that i would give $4 for everyone that put there name down to bet,,,,i was expecting 100  or so punters.,.,.i think i had about 20 or so interested but im sure i would have had a few more,,,,,
SO HERE IT IS IN BLACK AND WHITE just think you big punters who was gonna whack on £500,£1000 at 2-1 and i can assure you all you would have lost if i would have and could have carried this through,.,.,of which i wouldnt have done..,i say to you would you rather throw a $10 into a pot for a very,very good cause where it could have cost you a lot more,.,., for every $10 that gets put in i will put $4 with it,, i will only say it once ,REECE,MO.
put your names on here .,.,.,.,.
to be honest i only had good intentions from the start and i knew that someone nice will benefit from this giant task,,,i had no intentions of doing the trip in or out of the boat,i just wanted to see who was mad enough to think that i COULDNT do this and to bet on it.,.,.,.,it was a bit of a teach yall a lesson about prop betting and to make sure you know the full rules when  you bet.
i hope i havent upset anyone by this and if i had im sorry,but get your $10 out and make me pay.,.,.,.,

Such an awesome thread.

If you read now in real time, the timing of SofaKing's posts are just too good.

He get's battered about by people with their pocket calculators and their facts for a half dozen posts in a row detailing exactly why what he's attempting is more ridiculous than it is impossible and he comes back with yeah, but I'll be wearing flippers.

Top drawer.
