Both the Guar and I ran the Krispy Kreme Challenge today (he as a competitor, myself as a casual), good times....
Things got off to a bad start as Greg realized he hadn't properly cocoa buttered up (chafing was now on the table)!
Undeterred by the possible loss of Greg's wiry chest hair due to improper butterage, we continued on towards the race. Soon we arrived at our destination...
Because I'm such a freakazoid about these things, we were 45 minutes early and the crowd hadn't really begun to form yet; but they would soon come 6000 strong.
Greg and I pre-race. As you can see, he's getting "amped-up" (as the young people say). This is before the shirtless dudes and green man showed up (forgot to snap those photogs, unfortunately). There was also an Elvis, but it wasn't OUR Elvis (sad faced emoticon).
The race itself is largely inconsequential, and I forgot to take pictures of Greg munching on 12 tasty, tasty donuts (he got them all down, by god); but here's a few pictures of us at the finish!
Note: you can see one shirtless dude in the background (if that's your thing). There was also a guy in only a pair of Speedos with one of those hydration belts strapped around his waist, very classy.
I can't actually remember what I'm saying here, but I seem to remember that it was both incredibly funny and inspiring at the same time.
Well, that's about it; hope you enjoyed it. And for Tom, I didn't wear the Vibrams; went out and did a test run this morning and it was just too cold on my feet to do it (which I was bummed about). I did see two or three guys wearing them, so maybe next year!
Addendum: ACK!!!!!! Missed by a minute! Sorry dude.
