Where I live, there is the Hermosa Beach Ironman held every 4th of July for the last 30+ years.

The rules?
• Run a mile on the sand.
• Paddle your surfboard a mile.
• Slam a six-pack of beer.
• Do NOT puke. At least for 20 minutes.

I avoid try to avoid Hermosa on Independenced Day.
But Kripsy Kreme breaks do sound like fun... and probably the only time they can be eaten guilt-free!
