Fast Food Challenge

Good long run today with a group that Ofer started. About 20 guys showed up and we ran on Vista Trail to Eldorado Springs and back. I've getting back into some running shape so it wasn't an easy 1:27 but not crazy hard. If anyone wants to come next weekend it starts from the trailhead on Hwy 93 on Sunday at 8:30am.
After going to Park City last weekend for some good training with Taylor I got sick this week so took Tuesday and Wednesday off.
Last night was the Fast Food Challenge. The competition was born out of the famous Cornell dining hall eating competitions of the 1980's and 90's. Last night was a 2.8 mile run with 5 food stops.
1) A sloppy joe and soda at a sloppy joe specialty restaurant.
2) 7 Eleven for a hot dog and Slurpee.
3) Slice of pizza and soda
4) 3 tacos at Chipotle
5) 1 chili cheeseburger at Carl Jr's.

I was a judge at Carl Jr's. There were 9 competitors and I was anxious to see who would arrive at the 5th and final food stop first. Ofer and Matt came in neck and neck but it was immediately apparent that Ofer was feeling much better. He was steadily breezing through his burger while Matt was carefully watching Ofer, sweating profusely, and spending 1 minute chewing each small bite. Ofer was out the door and to the finish: 24 minutes. Impressive - 24 minutes to run just under 3 miles and eat 5 meals. Plus he had a beer at the post race party and made it through today's entire long run!
