Who is doing it this year (challenger or normal runner)? Just watching? Donating?

I'm pretty stoked about it

1/4/2010 10:50:02 AM

I should come down to raleigh just to do this

1/4/2010 10:51:25 AM

i was a challenger first year, second year i was just a runner, last year i just donated. i think i'm gonna do this palidrome style and just be a runner again this year. maybe come back and be a challenger next year but i haven't been running/eating enough to do it this year.

1/4/2010 10:53:33 AM

when is it?

1/4/2010 10:54:20 AM

I felt better after eating all the donuts, personally... For some reason it made the running easier

Actually eating them was hell though - but I'm going to do it again this year, for the chil'ren

i wanted to do it this year, but i don't know if i will. i might just go take pictures again.

1/4/2010 10:57:04 AM

last year i was hungover and running on little sleep. i didnt eat anything before the race and the donuts actually made me run the second half easier too. i def took a good nap after it though

1/4/2010 10:57:48 AM

i'm going to have to start training for this now!

1/4/2010 10:59:56 AM

hmmmmm...

1/4/2010 11:02:17 AM

When ESPN did a segment on this I think they said the combination of endorphins from running and the sugar rush from the doughnuts makes you feel really good.

1/4/2010 11:04:11 AM

i did a large part of the filming for it last year.

this year i shall be relieved of duty and ready to participate.

1/4/2010 11:04:38 AM

^^idk about that. the 2 miles back i felt DISGUSTING. and the whole rest of the day, really. it was no bueno. my mom got mad because diabetes is in my family and she said i was stupid for doing such a stupid race.

1/4/2010 11:07:34 AM

^3 I can see that

I, too, took an excellent nap afterwards. I'm excited to see the costumes again

[Edited on January 4, 2010 at 11:08 AM. Reason : ^ eh, I felt good after eating them]

1/4/2010 11:08:20 AM

I couldn't poop for two days afterward.

1/4/2010 11:11:17 AM

I could run in my chicken suit.

1/4/2010 11:11:53 AM

If I can drop a little weight beforehand, maybe quit puffing on the cancer sticks, maybe I should do this.

I got two dozen glazed last week to take to my high school best friend who was in town from New Jersey. Ate four of them in under 5 minutes easily. I could blow that part out of the water. The running part...well, I dunno about that.

1/4/2010 11:12:42 AM

^2 hahahaha please do that

maybe I could run as a panda since I got the stuff to do it

^ you say that now... but I think you would slow down about half way through. Wasn't as easy as it sounds

[Edited on January 4, 2010 at 11:14 AM. Reason : .]

maybe get someone in a peter griffen suit to run next to you

You ain't never seen this brotha eat.

I'd bet anybody here I could eat a dozen hot in under 10 minutes. Hell, I'd go for under 5 minutes. And bet a sizable amount of money.

1/4/2010 11:15:28 AM

haha well record your time and let us know how you did

last time it took me like 20 minutes :\

1/4/2010 11:16:59 AM

I'll be there, prob. just gonna do normal runner

That's nothing. Doughnuts still taste good at four. haha. Around 6 it starts becoming a challenge to eat them...

1/4/2010 11:38:41 AM

if it weren't so uncomfortable to wear, I'd totally bust out the master chief for this.

did it three yrs ago - didnt even find the bed the night before -threw up at bell tower before it even started

1/4/2010 12:01:12 PM

Challenger again. Ate all those bitches last year. looking to improve my time now!

1/4/2010 12:51:23 PM

OH WE BTTT

1/4/2010 12:53:47 PM

Challenger again. Couldn't do it last year because I had an interview the same day of the race so I'm coming hungry this year.

This is the only time of the year I eat doughnuts - because after the race I never want to look at a doughnut again.

Me and the bf will be there! This will be his first 'race'!

1/4/2010 3:02:18 PM

I can't run, so I'll probably go watch and cheer on Samwise

1/4/2010 6:25:47 PM

I'm going to try this for the first time this year.

[Edited on January 4, 2010 at 7:32 PM. Reason : nevermind, found it in the FAQs]

1/4/2010 7:29:37 PM

A Challenger is just aiming to eat all dozen and finish in under an hour. The finish times are listed by category. T-shirts are the same (the ones that come with the fee), but you can purchase different t-shirts post-race, etc.

1/4/2010 7:31:37 PM

why dont they do it in the spring or fall when it isn't DEADLY cold?

Yeah, I don't think that's possible. You must have been in shock/delusional.

[Edited on January 4, 2010 at 7:55 PM. Reason : ]

1/4/2010 7:55:17 PM

^ I was neither. Trust me, I know what being delusional feels like because I get the feeling when my blood sugar gets drastically low.

You might find this hard to believe, but everybody else's body doesn't necessarily react to something the same way yours would. I have a very strong stomach, and yes, I felt better running the 2 miles back than running the 2 there.

I will never be able to do this race. Sounds like an awesome diabetic coma in the works for me. Type I ftl.

it definitely wasn't DEADLY cold last year. It wasn't really cold at all. Mild, but runners definitely warmed up quickly.

Please, do us all a favor and keep your alias troll ass at home for this race

1/5/2010 1:46:59 PM

do the donuts still contain a lifetime's allotment of trans fats?

1/5/2010 1:53:26 PM

i hope they do.

1/5/2010 1:54:53 PM

nope. No transfats.

1/5/2010 3:19:49 PM

doing nothing, i hate running, i hate running the the cold, i dislike cold donuts

it's the trifecta

1/5/2010 3:20:56 PM

I'd be all about it if I weren't working till 12:30am the day of.

1/5/2010 3:21:12 PM

at some point your body doesn't even bother digesting, right? it just makes you poop out pure doughnut? or makes you vomit, instead?

1/5/2010 3:21:23 PM

^ Right before the last race there was an article where a nutrionist was interviewed -- she said the thing that makes you throw up is the amount of fat in the donut so the only people who were really safe were the ones with little to no gag reflex..

1/5/2010 3:24:05 PM

note to self: hit on the chicks that don't throw up...

1/5/2010 3:42:42 PM

saw 3 people puke on the return trip last year...saw a few splatters along the way too, I felt fine, til that night...

you'll absorb 95% of the foods we eat, regardless of amount consumed, we're quite efficient at the whole digestion/absorption process, there really isn't a "ceiling" that you'll hit and just poop out whole foods from thereafter

1/5/2010 3:44:40 PM

after i finished last year i walked over to my friend's house off hillsborough and made myself puke everything up. never again.
