Time to eat!!

This coming Saturday is the day we've been waiting for! The 2010 Doughman relay quadrathon that I mentioned a few months back is going down at 8 AM on the mean streets of Durham and my team Foodicidal Tendencies is ready. We've all been working out for the past couple months in preparation of the bike and run portions of the race while studying the menu of local favorites being served up at the restaurant stops along the way. 

I ended up with the 3rd stage of the race and will be running nearly 3 miles with a stop early in for a goat meat Italian sausage sandwich at Dain's Place Bar and Grill. The team is made up of myself, another guy friend and two girl friends. Michelle will be the team's 5th man acting as driver and transporting the team from stop to stop with a finish at the historic Durham Athletic Park where I grew up attending Durham Bulls games as a kid.

Along with the race and post-race fun, there is also a Doughman banquet Saturday evening in Durham at the ballpark featuring food and beers from local restaurants and NC breweries. We'll be attending that also and have our fingers crossed for good weather all day.  

I just learned that contestants from the TV show - The Biggest Loser will also be competing in the race so hopefully, film crews will be there to capture some of the action for national TV. 

If you are heading out to spectate, keep your eyes open for my team and our kick ass jerseys with the front previewed below. 

If you are competing in the race, prepare to eat our dust!
