Default Krispy Kreme Race

I've got a friend doing a Krispy Kreme race, you run 2 miles, eat a dozen donuts, then run 2 more miles. The challenge is to have it done in an hour. Anyone tried something like this? I've never eaten close to that many donuts before in one sitting, so I'm figuring I may just puke. But I'm thinking the t-shirt may be worth it.

Any thoughts?

Back before energy bars, I'd get 6 donuts for breakfast when I was bike touring and uncertain what I'd find for lunch out on the road. Eat a few with the morning coffee and put the rest in my back pockets. Those Krispy Kremes are kinda small so you might could do it. You're right about the t-shirt. I often lift wearing a shirt from the Cape Cod Marathon which was sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts and many people have commented about the irony of a "Dunkin Donuts Marathon"

I thought the challenge was to keep it all down.

I believe Wisconsin had a 10K race on a 1 mile loop that required you to drink a beer each loop.

did one of those in the early 80's. 6 drinks in 5k. had one beer and it felt foamy, so i switched to rum and orange juice for the rest of the race.

only time i broke the top ten, only time i beat the first woman finisher and only time i took the first woman finisher home after the race.

in some ways the high point of an undistinguished athletic career.
