I conquered the Goliath!

 Today I took on the role of David and conquered the Goliath alongside some friends.  At Luigi’s in Milledgeville, GA we participated in an eating contest of epic proportions.  The challenge was for five individuals to consume a 28″ pizza as fast as possible.   There were 3 teams to compete.  My team consisted of Derek, Dustin, Ryan, Nick, and myself.  We accomplished the feat in 5 minutes and 2 seconds. Our strategy of attack was to first diminish the crust region.  This was by far the hardest part of the task.  Most of the team implemented the “dip in water” tactic in which you take the hard to chew crust and dip it in water to soften it up.  Even using this strategy, our jaws were still very soar once we got to the heart of the pizza.  From there is was a walk in the park.  We were stacking 3 pieces at once and consuming them in a inhuman manor.  Right around 5 minutes, the five victors simultaneously raised arms in success. We had won, and we had won big!  The other teams didn’t finish under 10 minutes.  We won t-shirts and were refunded the amount of the pizza. We entered as amateur eaters and left as professional winner.
