Mike Curiak’s list of food, eaten over 15 days and 1100 miles of the Iditasport. Impressive, in an unconventional way.

240 Clif Bars (do the math–that’s an average of 16 bars per day…)
30 lbs of cookies (mostly fudge stripe, plus some chocolate covered grahams)
16 lbs of black licorice
10 tall cans of Pringles
10 lbs of red licorice
16 lbs of turkey jerky
30 lbs of candy bars [ed: approx. 60 bars]; Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfinger, Three Musketeers, etc… (at this point of re-typing this list, my teeth are starting to hurt, and I’m no longer wondering why my dental bills have been steadily increasing…)
90 fruit roll ups
80 peanut butter and nutella burritos
15 lbs of cashews
15 lbs of turkey bacon
45 Pop Tarts

I’m impressied by the relative monotony of the list, as well as the lack of cheese and spicy things. But that’s just me. I’d go nuts eating that many Clif Bars.
