Ultramarathon runner Robert Pope of Liverpool, England, drank a pint of Guinness right before setting off on the run that would make him the first person to successfully run the width of Ireland in under 24 hours.

來自英格蘭利物浦的超級馬拉松跑者羅伯特．波普，在喝了一品脫的健力士啤酒後邁步起跑，最後成為在24小時內成功跑完愛爾蘭國土寬度路程的第一人。

44-year-old Pope ran from Galway City on Ireland’s west coast to the capital Dublin in just 23 hours and 39 minutes.

44歲的波普從愛爾蘭西岸戈爾韋市啟程，僅花費23小時39分就抵達首都都柏林。

He ran a total of 133.5 miles and celebrated with a second pint of Guinness.

他總共跑了133.5英哩，抵達後又喝了一品脫的健力士啤酒加以慶祝。

Pope said the project was born out of a conversation he had with some fellow runners at an event in Britain.

波普說，這項計畫是某次在英國一場路跑活動上與其他跑者聊天時誕生的。

"I gave myself a 40 percent chance of actually pulling it off. I actually was surprised when I just couldn’t find any record of anyone having done it."

「我覺得我大概有40％的機率可以圓滿達成。我其實很驚訝以前竟然沒有人創下這個紀錄。」
