If I can field a team, I will be competing in this. I've been training for the athletic portion for the past week, and the eating portion for almost 31 years. If you want to try out for my team, leave a note in the comments. Otherwise I'll be recruiting. Qualifications include being able to run/bike/swim for extended periods at a moderate pace, the ability to consume large amounts of food quickly, and the ability to raise a respectable amount of sponsorships.

Yes, I take the fundraising aspect seriously. I think Seeds (the nonprofit benefactor) is a good idea, and although I don't really think raising chickens inside the city limits is necessarily a good idea, I'm all for inner-city, community gardening. In fact, I've talked to a few folks about starting a community garden in our backyard. If you are not interested in the Doughman, but would like to be part of our garden co-op, you can leave a note in the comments as well.
