Laugh, Toss, or Carry: Ultra Aid Fun | Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station
Ultra trail running is as much about grit as it is about good humor. In the latest episode of Food Fight Friday, hosts Jason Bahamundi and Adam Lee take the classic aid station conundrum and add a holiday twist. What do gingerbread houses, fruitcake, and eggnog have to do with endurance running? Everything, apparently, when you’re playing the game of Eat, Toss, or Carry while also laughing!
In this laugh-out-loud scenario, the duo hilariously debates which festive food to snack on, which to ditch, and which to haul to the next aid station. Spoiler: neither has eggnog topping their ultra-marathon nutrition plan.
The Great Holiday Food Debate
Imagine you’re 45 miles into a grueling 50-mile race, and your only aid station choices are:
- Pieces of a gingerbread house
- A slice of fruitcake
- A cup of eggnog
Jason, the strategist, opts to:
- Eat the gingerbread house scraps (hello, easy carbs).
- Carry the fruitcake (practically indestructible).
- Toss the eggnog (too messy mid-run).
Adam, always ready for chaos, flips the strategy:
- Drink the eggnog (because why not).
- Toss the fruitcake (no bricks in his pack).
- Carry the gingerbread (it’s less sticky).
Their comedic banter is laced with relatable trail-runner humor and real-life scenarios, making this episode a must-watch for anyone who loves endurance sports. Enjoy a good laugh while figuring out what you would eat, toss or carry.
