Well I did it. I completed the Krispy Kreme Challenge. My goals were:
- run the whole thing without walking....check
- eat all 12 doughnuts without throwing up....check (GROSS, GROSS, GROSS)
- finish in under an hour....check
My official time is 58 minutes and 40 seconds, and I came in 1,951 st place out of 5,200 people. Only 2,126 people completed the challenge (meaning ate all 12 doughnuts and finished running in under an hour).
I am sooooo glad it is over. I did induce vomiting about an hour and a half after the race because I felt so horrible...I'm pretty sure it would of happened naturally soon anyway.
I am so glad I got to be part of an NC State tradition and I am so glad I successfully completed the challenge, so next year I will not feel obligated to be re-challenged.

Doughnut boys ran in their intertubes!
Funny costumes!

Grace and I pre-race (she ran but did not eat the doughnuts...SMART girl!)

Sam Marshall and John Berger (I can't find their times on the finisher list...so I'm not sure if they "completed the challenge")

Almost there!...I was 1/4 mile from the finish and I was feeling horrible even though I look really good in this picture!!!!

Victory is SWEET!

Two of my supporters: Blanca and Ekaterina (Destino members).


A lot of people dress up in funny things: there was Santa, girls in 80's dresses, The Incredibles, guys in speedos, etc. Below is the Inter Varsity group that ran and they say "Do If For the Kids"...the KK Challenge is to raise money for children's hospitals. (This year we raised $35,000).

These are just a few pictures from our hunger dinner program last month!
