Busted!

I am fairly certain that I have mentioned the eating challenge sandwich that we put together at the Brick House. It is a monster of a sandwich. I have attached a picture of it for visual reference. We call it the Brick. If you finish it you get a t-shirt that says 'I Busted A Brick'. It is fairly cool stuff.  Jay designed the shirt and he has been wanting to do the challenge.  Today was the day since they were in town.  I joined in the festivities.  The record time prior to today was 17 minutes 35 seconds. That was dang impressive. Today a new record was posted, it was not by either Jay or myself.  A group of guys came in and all did it. There were three of them. All three beat the previous record and did so convincingly. One of them was under 10 minutes and set the new standard at 8 minutes and 45 seconds. That is going to be tough to beat.

Anyway, there we were with Jay and Jayson going for it. I was kind of backing out on the deal, not confident I could do it and not sure I wanted to be sick for the rest of the day. I was getting harassed by the rest of Jays fam as well as pops throwing some smack my way. I had enough and went back to the kitchen and got another burger going. I got started a few minutes after Jay and Jayson and today I was in a groove. I was pounding it. The hardest part was biting into it and having the heat of the patty there. The meat was way hot - temperature hot.  I navigated through it with pure determination and in a very short amount of time I was done with the burger. I was feeling it too.  I started shoveling fries in my mouth and was within striking distance of the newly set record. I didn't beat it and came in at 9 minutes, 39 seconds.  I was quite thrilled to knock it out in less than 10 minutes.  It is now about 10 hours later and I am still full.  Probably won't be hungry for a long while still. Jay also finished and Jayson did quite well for a 12 year old.  It was a fun outing. I don't know that I will ever do that again so it is good that I put together a great run today.  Busted!
