trying to beat my old zebra cake record while running the Ghost Train

DISCLAIMER: I loved the Ghost Train video I did last year, and I feel like the expectation was to top that one. But I just didn't have the footage or the time to do that this year. So to celebrate the registration for the 2024 Ghost Train this weekend, I put together this quick video chronicling my 2023 experience, which included trying to break my previous record of eating 14 zebra cakes. I hope you enjoy :P
To anyone that doesn't know, the Ghost Train is a 30 hour ultra marathon in Brookline NH that takes place in October. You can choose your own adventure and run as long as you wish, 15 mile laps. It's not just a race, it's an event that I love to participate in. I love the vibes, the people, the enthusiasm, the volunteers, the scenery, the food... I love it all. The Ghost Train crew started calling me "zebra cakes" for obvious reasons, and I've fully embraced this nickname and love the side-challenge that it entails. It's one little funny thing I do. But there are people doing amazing things out there on that trail that I have such a deep respect for and they truly inspire me. They are the real rockstars of the Ghost Train.
Thanks so much to Rob and Carolina and all the other volunteers for supporting my fun out there. And thanks so much to all that watch.
I wish you all an awesome day and I'll see you at the Ghost Train in 2024!

​​@@OCEANBOUND1how many moonpies this year? What do you use for a training plan? See you then!

[@OCEANBOUND1]

@@TheFlyingmartini lol only zebra cakes. They are a surprisingly good source of energy 😜👍 will try to beat the record of course. No training, in fact I try not to eat that many throughout the year 😂

@@OCEANBOUND1 Zebra cake Olympics?! 🤣 Sorry, I meant for the run.

[@OCEANBOUND1]

@@TheFlyingmartini hahaha ohhh the RUN. I don’t really train for it; I don’t have time to run much these days. About 2 months out I’ve tried to start running some 5-7 mile runs once or twice a week to get my feet used to it again. But the last two years I started doing that and one year I got injured and last year I got COVID so it pretty much killed my training program and I just kinda come into the GT hot with little prep and low expectations. I dont recommend this 😜

5:06 Does “3 zebra cakes” equal 3 packages of 2, for a total of 6 cakes? Or did you leave one in the package and leave?

[@OCEANBOUND1]

Hahah hey Marcus!!! Miss you bud, I hope all is well! 3 cakes = 3 individual cakes = 1.5 packages of two.

[@MarcusGarfunkel]

I’m so confused as to how there’s an odd number of zebra cakes consumed 6:31

[@OCEANBOUND1]

So in a perfect world I only eat one per aid station. But since one aid station didn’t have them, I’d double up. I believe x2 times I only ate one. Next time I think I’m gonna bring some on the road so I don’t have to double up in case an aid station doesn’t have them. My stomach really hates it when I double them up. Dude, thanks for watching!! 🙏 I wish you an awesome weekend Marcus!!
