School Lunch Decisions: Eat, Toss or Carry | Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station
Ultra trail running is more than endurance—it’s about building memories, fostering camaraderie, and sometimes indulging in a bit of silliness. In the latest Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station episode, Adam Lee from Community Trail Running and Jason Bahamundi, founder of Run Tri Bike, dive into a nostalgic game of “Eat, Toss, or Carry.” With decisions on school lunch favorites like chicken nuggets, rectangle pizza, and Spokane’s unique cheese zombie, the episode promises laughs and relatable moments for runners everywhere.
How to Play: Eat, Toss, or Carry
The rules are simple and hilariously absurd: pick one food to eat right away, one to toss aside, and one to carry to the next aid station. This week’s options and decisions on school lunch favorites spark both laughter and strategy:
- Chicken nuggets with tater tots
- Rectangle pizza
- Cheese zombie (a cheesy bread delight from Spokane, WA)
Set during a Last Person Standing race on New Year’s Eve, Adam and Jason’s playful banter highlights the fun side of ultra running.
Adam’s Hilarious Picks
Adam’s approach is equal parts logic and humor:
- Toss: Chicken nuggets and tater tots. “They’re just not doing it for me.”
- Eat: Rectangle pizza, a childhood staple he happily devours.
- Carry: Cheese zombie, despite being unfamiliar, recognizing its potential as a high-energy snack.
Jason’s Mischievous Moves
Jason isn’t one to stick with convention. His choices?
- Eat: Rectangle pizza, a no-brainer.
- Carry: Nuggets and tater tots, seeing their potential to distract other runners.
- Toss: Cheese zombie, wary of digestive challenges mid-run.

Reliving School Days and Shenanigans
Beyond the game, the duo dives into school-day anecdotes, from Jason’s humorous detention stories to Adam’s mischievous grade-school antics. A shoutout to YouTube follower Alan James Jr. adds a personal touch to the lively discussion.
Bringing Joy to Ultra Running
Trail running isn’t always about serious training and mileage. Episodes like these remind us that having fun along the way is equally important. Whether it’s laughing over food choices or reminiscing about childhood, there’s room for joy in every mile.
So, as you gear up for your next race, consider adding some lighthearted moments to your journey—maybe even a cheese zombie or two.
