    2/9. Krispy Kreme Challenge  Raleigh, NC  5 mi + 12 donuts  Goal:  sub 40 min

     

    I've got to do this someday. But I can't see making a 2,500-mile trip to run a 5-mile race, no matter how cool it is.

     

    MTA I'm curious; what is the breakdown in your goal of running / eating?

     

    2/2      Rocky Raccoon 100    Huntsville, TX    Goal:  < 20:00

      2/10    Big Chili 5k    Danbury, CT    Goal: <17:30

       

      On the road to this years' goal (<17), guess I should knock out last years' goal first...

      Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues
      We're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

              2/9. Krispy Kreme Challenge  Raleigh, NC  5 mi + 12 donuts  Goal:  sub 40 min

               

              2.5 miles out, 12 donuts completely downed, 2.5 miles back.

              Other goals:

              1.  Top 5 women (there are 8000 participants!).

              2.  Don't puke.

               

              There will be no race specific training.

               

              I just saw this and threw up a little in my mouth. Good luck WG. I swear I got a sugar high just reading about it.

                  I'll probably just run this around goal HM pace in place of my long run for the week.

                    6:30's out, 5 minutes of donut time and 7:30's back. This is very optimistic. It is a downhill run from NC State's bell tower to the store, so uphill on the way back. Fun.  I'm kind of wondering how scarfing down the donuts will be if I am gasping for air.

                      Just so we're clear, 5min to eat a dozen donuts?  If so that would be pretty impressive.

                        I was thinking, 5 whole minutes just to eat a dozen donuts? But then I've never tried it. Let alone immediately after racing 2.5 miles.

                          That would indeed be impressive.  After witnessing your beer mile performance I should not doubt you.  I could see downing 3 or 4 or those donuts in short order, but then things may start to get interesting.  Then you get to run 7:30's with a lead sinker in your stomach.  Good luck with that.  Are they the glazed donuts?

                          Not at it at all.

                            They are the regular glazed donuts. I have heard of people taking water and rinsing some glaze off of them, but that just strikes me as cheating.  The plan with the donuts is to take four at a time, stack them, and smush them into a dense mass, then consume. I have also been warned about drinking too much water with the donuts in the stomach. They will just expand.

                              I read that average time is 8-9 minutes.  I thought it would have been faster too, but I am starting to think that the donut eating may not be as easy as it sounds.

                                Seriously, I'm very interested in how this goes.  Someday when I am a complete fatass with no hope I will pay to travel for this race.
