I've been challenged by my boss to eat 2 dozen funfetti cupcakes (with funfetti frosting) within 8 hours of finishing my half marathon. After some quick research and math, that equates to about 5700 calories for two boxes of funfetti and one canister of frosting. After some more googling, you would on only burn 1194 calories from running 13.1 miles at a 10 min/mile pace. That's an intake of 4500 calorie for 24 cupcakes. I wouldn't have to eat for two days!
Should I rise to the occasion or just meekly back out at the last second? There are a couple of obstacles that I could potentially run in to. Since the race is in San Diego, my parent's oven may not be functioning. Since the oven isn't used a lot in traditional chinese cooking, the oven has been voluntarily out of commission for a while. My dad disables it for some reason. On the rare occasion, the use of an oven is needed, he plugs it back in or whatever. I might not have time to bake 2 dozen cupcakes before the race.
The more I think about it, the crazier the idea is. Of course, it's crazy. It's two dozen cupcakes!
