Some people say a marathon is 42.2 km. I say thatβs 140,650 bottles of wine. οΏ½
This is how I'm understanding the marathon distance:

ποΈ: 242,500 podcast microphones
π: 28,130 energy gels (squeezed)
π: 57,283 T-Shirts οΏ½
π: 143,307 pairs of shoes
πΎ: 140,650 bottles of wine οΏ½
π½: 28.13 1500m races
