food four

Opened with cereal and the dregs of the iced tea from yesterday. 14 mile run then lemonade, and then greens+, and shortly thereafter a banana. Funny how I am not as hungry after 14miles as I was after merely 8 on Tuesday. Leslie made the valid point (on our run, in real life, not in a comment box or forum or even email!) that food eating contests are typical of first world excess. I am no less impressed with Kobyashi, but I do realise that it is a bit extreme. Then again, so is going for a 14mile run on Sunday morning. How is 53 hotdogs in 12min any less a waste of resources than 26 miles in 2:16? Which luxuries are excessive and which are not? By definiton, a luxury IS an excess, I think, so...

For lunch it was the versitile bagel, yet again, times two, with a tuna salad consisting of tuna (duh!), tomato, and a couple of garnishes. Then I went to Carmine's to watch the match. There I ate a few chips, but not really that many, ate a couple slices of cold pizza, and drank cranberry and orange juices. After tasting victory on behalf of my Italian heritage, I met Katia for sushi. I don't really know what things were called, but we had salmon, eel, octopus, shrimp and avocado in various rolls. I understand why Kobyashi can eat so much sushi: it is satisfying, but not filling. It fills you so that you are not hungry, but it doesn't fill you up like pasta or pizza.

I also ate some strawberries. Sorry no photos this time.
