^^^ah ok. i didn't look at the #s...just misunderstood what you were saying.

Though after some more consideration, 12 donuts is a lot...i mean A LOT, especially to be running on...It's probably more of a tolerance issue than a running or eating contest, similar to a beer mile.

1/18/2006 12:35:34 AM

of course, but if you're a decent runner, you can get there quickly and leave yourself plenty of time, then not really be strained by hobbling along at a 9 minute pace or something on the way home.

1/18/2006 12:40:51 AM

I think the main problem is the return trip...a lot of people can wolf down a dozen donuts in 10 minutes i would think, and most college runners can run in the 9-10 minute range for two miles. but different people respond a lot differently to food in the stomach so maybe someone makes it back in 12 minutes and an equal runner/eater makes it back in 20.

1/18/2006 12:45:24 AM

that's the thing...you have time to take 20 minutes to run back if you don't drag ass the rest of the time

1/18/2006 12:50:18 AM

I'd do it if they were chocolate covered. I mean, if you're going to be a fat ass and eat 12 doughnuts, they might as well have chocolate on them.

1/18/2006 12:52:23 AM

I ran a 5k in 15:17. I'm not sure if that's a PR, i rarely time my runs. But, that's the time I got when I ran it in Hong Kong.

1/18/2006 1:00:10 AM

^^^But he's talking about breaking the record, not just finishing in under an hour.

^Haha. You had to drop Hong Kong. Nonetheless, I'm impressed, so GG.


The organizers should lobby Krispy Kreme to pay for a Golden Doughnut trophy that could be kept at the bakery in perpetuity and updated with each year's winner and accompanying time.

that's fast as shit

but i honestly thought you'd be in the 14s

i guess you don't really train strictly as a runner, though

1/18/2006 1:01:56 AM

david, you better finish in the top 3.

oh, that time was off of a 20k bike, I was averaging 30 mph.

Dude, there's no way I place. I'm not 1337 like that. I mean, anything's possible, but when we've got 4:30 milers registering, it's unlikely. One thing I do have going for me is that I haven't vomited for any reason in at least 5 years. Don't waste your morning to come watch. That way when I fail, I'll be the only one let down.

I tried to get Staples to do this. He expressed interest, but I doubt he'll actually register.

1/18/2006 1:48:49 AM

oh gross

1/18/2006 1:52:07 AM

GRRRRRRRRRR I have to take my G/F to the beach like I promissed her randomly last week...

I was totally going to do this

I decided to signup. Haven't decided whether to race it or just do it for fun yet though. Should be hilarious either way.

1/18/2006 2:11:15 PM

I helped out running the event last year. It's a lot of fun.

But remember -- all the profit from the Krispy Kreme Challenge goes to the NC Children's Hospital.

This Saturday, January 21 @ 9:30am. Meet at the Belltower.

I'd puke on 12 of those doughnuts even without the running... getting sick just thinking about it.

1/18/2006 7:15:24 PM

I fully intend to blow chunks all over the road about 1/2 mile away from the KK... then haul ass back.

1/18/2006 9:11:56 PM

That's totally cheating, man. You should get DQ'd. Also, it's not like there's a prize for winning. You're copping out on the "Challenge" part.

thats fucking dumb

the average person, let alone wolfwebber, can not run fucking 4 miles in under an hour while also eatting a dozen doughnuts

1/19/2006 12:17:28 AM

on another note liusclues is a flaming homosexual

1/19/2006 12:22:32 AM

^^That's where the challenge comes in, dipshit. It's ironic that only relatively healthy people are able to finish a race involving competitive eating.

1/19/2006 12:25:42 AM

you consider eatting a dozen doughnuts competitive eatting?

I'm planning on driving alongside the runners and taunting them whilst I eat donuts in my car.

1/19/2006 1:53:57 AM

How will that work? "Look at me, I'm eating donuts! You can't have any more."

1/19/2006 2:50:33 AM

I want to do this challenge, but with two dozen doughnuts.

Anyone want to take sidebets? I'll take odds on being able to down 24 doughnuts and finish it in an hour or less.

1/19/2006 2:56:17 AM

^^ "Hey! Weren't those donuts good? I bet you're feeling them right now. You better hurry up, it's close to an hour."

etc etc etc

1/19/2006 2:58:24 AM

That's not going to work on someone unless they're extremely weak-minded. Most people will just dismiss you as an asshole and hope you have a wreck for their amusement.

1/19/2006 3:08:15 AM

Yea, when I'm running I tune out everything that isnt a hot female.

1/19/2006 3:09:38 AM

I'd add traffic to that, but otherwise, right on.

im glad finally someone is grounded in reality (drunknloaded). im tired of ppl saying that everyone can do 4 miles in a row and/or how easy to do them all around 7-8 mins is.

How many are registered so far?

1/19/2006 10:22:44 AM

This is fucking stupid.

Doughnuts are ranked up there as one of the worst foods you can eat. It would probably be healthier to eat a dozen big macs. I'm all for people coming up with unusual ideas and making organized events out of them... but a transfat snarfing contest is not a good idea.

Then again, I guess this could be a steping stone for lard asses to jump on the working-out bandwagon, so maybe, just maybe, it isn't quite so retarded as it first comes across.

^^^ Running four miles in a hour on a stomach full of glaze is most certainly not a stepping stone to the working-out bandwagon.

I just hope someone's there to take pictures of me "leaving" a dozen donuts on the sidewalk about a half mile back - it just so happens Saturday is my distance running day (as opposed to hills or interval work) so I figure I why not pay $10 for a good cause, a dozen donuts, and some running buddies for an hour. I don't care if I yak on the way back up the hill. In fact, I'd RATHER throw up - that means I won't be ingesting all 2300 calories...

1/19/2006 3:31:59 PM

Krispy Kreme Khallenge.

1/19/2006 3:35:18 PM

Well, consider you'll burn about 750 calories in the 4 miles.

1/19/2006 5:16:25 PM

you burn 750 cals in 4 miles? isn't it supposed to be 100-150 cals/mile, depending on your weight? i burn about 650-700 calories on the treadmill when i run 5 miles (according to the machine)

1/19/2006 5:48:27 PM

it's based on speed, weight and metabolic efficiency. you can't just make a blanket statement like that.

1/19/2006 6:23:20 PM

Well, you can make it. It's just totally wrong.

I'm going to try to be in the first wave of runners to leave KK so I don't have to track through piles of vomit on the sidewalk.
