Challenge For The Month: Krispy Kreme Challenge

Ah yes!  The Krispy Kreme Challenge by far one of the grossest and most messed up ideas I have ever seen for a race.  I will probably regret EVER trying this but if anything it will make plenty of people laugh at my expense.  The real challenge is held in Raleigh NC and is designed to benefit a children's hospital.  But I will not be in the states for the next one so I decided to "recreate" one of my own.  The race rules are simple: run 2 miles, eat 1 dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, then run 2 miles back.  You must do all of this within an hour and you cannot throw it up.....I was pretty confident up until I read the DO NOT throw up part.  I am not a teenager anymore and quite frankly even the thought of a single doughnut mid-race sounds like a bad idea, not to mention a dozen.  But either way I gave this thing my best shot.
         So!  With the assistance of my awesome co-workers Reynolds, Ira (his name is actually like 26 letters long but Ira is easier), and my lovely wife, we got together on a nice Saturday morning and grabbed up 3 dozen doughnuts.  We couldn't find anywhere on island that did Krispy Kreme so we had to go with Dunkin, which I will point out now was a BAD idea.  Fun health fact: 1 glazed Krispy Kreme has 217 cal, 1 Glazed Dunkin Doughnut has 290 cal.....you do the math.haha  Here is what happened......

As you can see we went in there confident and came out with our butts handed to us.  The first 2 doughnuts were AMAZING!  Nothing like ending a run with pure sugar, haha.  But when you get to about doughnut number 6 you start getting that dry mouth, hard to chew, just want to spit it out stage.  Once I hit 9, I was pretty sick, so 12 wasn't happening for me.  I will say that with a little bit of training (how do you train for a heart attack?!?!) and some practice it seems like a pretty doable task.  But I do not plan on ever trying this again or eating a doughnut for a little while.  Thanks for reading, check out the Favorite Organizations page before you leave, and don't eat doughnuts while running!
