Almost Enough To Get Me To Run A Marathon

Tom Gilbey, a wine merchant in England, just ran the London Marathon . . . while doing a wine tasting at the same time. He sampled 26 different wines (one at each mile marker), and he was able to correctly identify a lot of them. He didn’t drink a full glass each time, but definitely wasn’t sober by the end. He did it to raise money for a hospice charity. He was hoping to bring in around $2,500 and ended up with 10 times that much. He finished the race in 4 hours and 41 minutes.
