Ew.
*Love* the mile-split notations on your log entry. Very nice touch.

This is why I run
yay for non-competitive competitive eating mixed with running.
This is a race for me. Oh yes.
Hey, nice marmot!
I do wish they had actually kept track of times/places instead of simply handing out shirts to those who did the 12 doughnuts and 4 miles in under one hour.
They do seem to keep score at the original one in North Carolina.

Yeah, I saw that. They had chip mats at the finish and Krispy Kreme. Nicely done. At the very least, ours has to figure out a better way to separate the strong (12) from the weak (<12) at the finish so they can actually process results.
The split I'm really in awe of is the doughnut split. Actually eating the doughnuts after running was the hardest part, and for him to be able to wolf them down in 5 minutes is awesome. Looked at those results online; none of his three splits were the fastest, but they were all in the top 5. Let's hear it for consistency!
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I gotta say I am going to bookmark this race report. Because I felt ZERO desire to eat a donut ever again after reading it. I might tape the sucker to my fridge.
Can you post a pumpkin pie challenge and christmas cookie challenge as well? I could use some help with those.

Or dare I say, gasp, beer challenge?
Nice job, Globule. This sounds like something that I am stupid enough to try.
Not at it at all.
r even race mile 1 then taper down during the 2nd mile to allow for the elusive good donut split?
Well, that's more a less what I did if you look at my splits. I slowed down a bunch from that first mile.
I still think the key is to go hard the first two miles. I just need to incorporate doughnuts with interval training so that I am used to eating them after running hard.
I've heard of these races but never a first-hand account of one :P
And congrats on eating all the doughnuts!
