In this year’s edition of the Doughman Quadrathlon race, team Overheight When Flashing finished in 5th place! So for the third time in a row, we finished in the top ten of the Doughman. As far as I know, only two other teams have accomplished this: team Dain’s Place (hell, they OWN the Doughman) and El Gigante. Now, the Bull City Track Club team clocked their second 1st place in a row, so we’ll see next year if they can keep this up.

Here is the menu for this year and who on our team took on which leg:

• Leg 1, Swim – Bill Copeland; Food from Rise: Pig in a blanket with Firsthand Foods sausage link, Freshpoint sweet potatoes, and cheddar cheese
• Leg 2, Bike – Craig Young; Food from NOSH: Pimiento mac-n-cheese “cupcake” including Freshpoint kale
• Leg 3, Long Run – Jason Figge; Food from Dos Perros: Freshpoint kale and mushroom tamales
• Leg 4, Short Run – Jurgen Henn; Food from Dain’s Place: “The Jurgen”– Firsthand Foods bratwurst with gorgonzola cheese, kraut and Freshpoint jalapeños on a locally baked hotdog roll from the bread shop

We all did really well with our individual legs, but on the desserts – that’s where we smoked ’em! We were the fastest team (1 Min 11 Sec.) on the dessert leg:

• The Parlour (Freshpoint purple sweet potato ice cream with honey marshmallow)
• LocoPops (vegan strawberry lemonade paleta)
• Daisy Cakes (vanilla bean cupcake filled with strawberry-rhubarb compote and topped with ginger buttercream with Freshpoint strawberries and honey)
• Monuts (strawberry shortcake donuts)

Each of us had to finish one of these delectable desserts and we then had sprint to the finish together as a team.

So much fun!
