Cycling Camp: What do you do when it rains?

At cycling camp three years ago in McCaysville the challenge of eating 8 regular saltine crackers in one minute was introduced to the group. So, at the New York, New York diner in Copperhill, TN Kyle Poland took the challenge and tried to down 8 simple saltines in less than a minute. For those that know Kyle he is a very tall guy and could nearly fit all eight in his mouth at once.

A few minutes later Kyle, having missed the minute time limit, was still trying to figure out how to swallow the cracker paste in his mouth.

This year at camp the guys were sitting around on a rainy evening, killing time and decided to resurrect the cracker challenge. This time they reduced the cracker requirement to 5 crackers to see if any of the three challengers, Ryan Vingris, Ryan Good, and Tony D'Varga could finish. You can see the results in the video, but this obviously isn't as easy as it sounds...

I'm amazed you remembered the original cracker challenge. Not only that, you remembered the location. Kyle Poland is obviously gifted in more than just triathlon.
