I was very unsuccessful today. The run went okay, but I was slow on the doughnuts. The whole thing just isn't sitting very well with me though because I thought I had won. I'm just coming back from a knee injury, so when someone yelled, "you're way out in front" when I was on my way back I just put it in cruise control. I saw the winner up ahead but I was positive he was just a casual runner, so I didn't bother giving chase. Then I finish and see him getting interviewed and was like, "DAMNIT." Not to be a sore loser, but this one is going to bother me for a while.

I ended up going to the water table while my friends ate, and bringing back two gallons and a stack of cups.

Hey, DNL, they gave an award to the person who came closest to finishing in 1 hour on the dot. If you were close to the 1 hour mark, maybe it was you. I don't think it was though... If there was someone right behind you, I guess they may have gotten it.

okay, so finding out this guy is a tar hole just fucking pisses me off. I have no doubt I could have ran him down.

To be fair, if this was held at UNC-CH and someone from NCSU won, you know good and well that you would be like "GO PACK, WOOOOOOOOOOO!" regardless that you were at a rival school. It sucks that it wasn't a NCSU student/alum/faculty (or a twwer!), but its great to see people from other schools supporting this cause. Money for charity is money for charity! It all helps and spends the same regardless who gives it.


I'm not trying to rub it in or anything, I would have loved for an NCSU student to win, and really liked for bellrabbit to win again!

hey, that's me. another reason I thought this was in the bag. I got to KK and glanced back and didn't see anyone. I have no idea how I lost that much time on the doughnuts. Those people must have inhaled them.

Get them next year, bellrabbit. I thought you ran really, really well. In a true road race, I'm sure you would have absolutely smoked the winners.

And yeah, I was also confused by who was casual and who was challenger.

glad to hear it ran fairly smoothly. seems like every year we have water problems.
sucks that a UNC wanker won.

and about the cost. it does cost a lot to get the doughnuts, the shirts, and have the streets closed. i'm sure saket will get you all good info on how the funds work out. and remember its not 3000x$15 because some people are supporters, and they pay only $10

and last year, assuming each person paid $15, we also donated less than 50%
2007: ~1350 x $15 = $20250, but only $10000 donated

hahahahaha i remember seeing that exact same puke... on the way back right before you turn back on hillsborough.

As far as the race goes... blew it. I could only eat 6, the stretching the stomach thing didnt work out, or i am a pussy... either way. However i have never been able to eat more than a few so i htink my mark is 6 haha. My brother finished all 12.

Ambrosia, these pictures are very good! I'm not sure if you use Flickr or anything, but if you upload these into an album please let us know the link. I'm always on the lookout for great pictures to show when people from the media ask. There should be a Krispy Kreme Challenge 2008 album or group with Flickr. I encourage any users of that service to tag photos accordingly.

I'm using picasa for these, because there is a bandwidth quota for flickr. The album is public, and it's http://picasaweb.google.com/cotcmw/KKC. If you have any questions about a particular picture, ask, and I'll add the info to the picture.

Yeah, hmm, I definitely had plenty of room in my stomach. The sugar and grease just repulsed me when I hit number 10. I dry heaved a lot. I got "splashed" a couple times by fellow challengers around me at KK. It was gross.

Maybe try the lettuce thing next year, but do it several times in the weeks leading up to the race?

Alright!

Last of the decent pictures. Ask if you wanna see others - I have many duplicates, so, for example, the couple eating donuts and posing? I've got two slightly different versions.











Those two knew they weren't going to make it, and so hurled near KK. I swear, they had the most-photographed hurl today.
