[...] In 2010, I had eaten thirteen donuts, which had gotten me on the podium for my age group. But it had also made me feel absolutely lousy for the rest of the day. [...]

I love the idea of this event. I have been trying to figure out how to make a cycling version of our local running event, the Krispy Kreme Challenge, whihc is a 2 mile run, a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and 2 miles back to the start. To conquer the challenge, you must finish in under an hour and keep the donuts down. My son is a string runner and finished in 59:57. He said he couldn't believe how much it was about eating instead of running. Evidentially, the preferred technique is to squish 3 donuts flat together, dip them in water and eat. There is a pretty funny video at ESPN about the race.

For those who asked – they were glazed. They were fairly big/heavy ones – not light and fluffy like Krispy Kremes which would be awesoe.

People would take four of them at a time and mash them flat, pour water all over them and chow down. Yech!

I was there, too, and had a blast. I rode the first lap pulling my 5 year old and 2 year old sons in my trailer and riding beside my 8 year old daughter. This was by far the furthest she has ever ridden, and I was really proud of her for riding the course. Fatty – you said hi to us both in the registration area and on the course as you passed us. The first thing my kids noticed about the event T-shirts was the fatcyclist logo on the front. They are all excited to finally have some fatcyclist clothing like their daddy wears.

Jenni…I think you’re onto something there! Donutmax…a new sports drink…pure sugar, tastes like glazed KK donuts! Blending up donuts into a drink..BRILLIANT! You should do a quick patent on that idea!

What kind of donuts were there? Was it the light and fluffy glazed, or more heavy cake donuts?

Is one permitted to bring one’s Bullet blender and make a mash to drink?
