Lesson learned

Yesterday I did a 2 pound burger challenge with my bro, my bff and her bf. You are given and hour to finish it.

Now the meat patty is 2 pounds, throw in a huge bun bigger than my face, lettuce, tomato, onions, relish, pickles, banana peppers, ketchup, mustard and mayo. You can remove one of those items before the challenge. I removed the peppers. I should have removed the relish..too sweet. I also asked for a side of bacon with it.
15 minutes into it I was making good progress. It had a nice flavor going on. I though I could finish the burger, maybe not in the required time though. 30 minutes into it and I was slowing down. Shortly after that I hit the "wall". The taste of everything became too much to take. No matter what I did, there was no way I could get it down. I wasn't full though. By the time the challenge was over and I finally tapped out, I had the shells of the bun left, the veggies, and a fistful of meat.
I was a little angry with myself that I didn't do better and I was a little humbled by it. Me of all people that can eat everyone I know under the table couldn't finish the burger. Oh well, I tried, that's what matters.

Lesson learned, keep pushing past the wall.
