Laugh Through Ultra Running Challenges | Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station
Ultra trail running is tough—but who says it can’t be fun as we laugh through the challenges? In the latest episode of Food Fight Friday, Jason Bahamundi from Run Tri Bike and Adam Lee from Community Trail Running bring a hilarious twist to the sport. Together, they play Eat, Toss, or Carry, a game that challenges them to decide which foods to eat at an aid station, toss to the side, or carry to the next stop. This lighthearted approach adds laughter to the trails, proving that even the most grueling endurance events can have their moments of joy.
What is “Eat, Toss, or Carry”?
Eat, Toss, or Carry is exactly what it sounds like. Jason and Adam present each other with three absurd food options inspired by Adam’s father, Frank. These options aren’t your typical ultra-marathon aid station fare. Think toast and tomato sandwiches, tuna with spicy tomato soup, and a slice of cheese paired with A1 sauce.
Their mission? To decide which item deserves to be eaten right away, which gets tossed, and which is worth carrying for later. It’s a game that’s as strategic as it is ridiculous—and it’s guaranteed to leave you laughing.
The Sentimental Food Twist
Adam’s food choices pay tribute to his father’s unique culinary preferences. From hearty tomato sandwiches to unexpected cheese pairings, every item comes with a backstory. As Jason tries to balance sentimental value with practicality, the debate becomes hilariously entertaining.
Jason’s decisions are a mix of comedy and questionable strategy. He opts to eat the toast and tomato sandwich, carry the cheese with A1 sauce, and toss the spicy tomato soup. Adam’s choices? Equally unpredictable! These decisions spark lively conversations about running strategies, personal memories, and the importance of finding humor in the hard miles of an ultra-marathon.
