CALORIE CONTEST WINNER

(I thought a picture of Annabelle in her Halloween costume was appropriate for the announcement of the CALORIE CONTEST WINNER)

Due to an unfair competitive advantage by being Mark's former roommate, in college and during the 2004 Olympic games, Bryce (who guessed 3,600 calories) has been disqualified.

So, without further adieu...

Congratulations...
Anna Calhoun

You guessed that Mark would eat 3,500 calories in a normal training day. Mark actually consumed....

3,740.5 calories

Here is the breakdown:

3/4 cup plain oatmeal	225
1 package brown sugar oatmeal	160
3/8 cup raisins	200
4 eggs	400
3/4 cup plain oatmeal	225
1 package brown sugar oatmeal	160
3/8 cup raisins	200
10oz cup of coffee with cream and sugar	70
1 apple	65
1 cup of black beans and rice	190
1/2 cup Lima beans	88
1 grilled chicken breast	120
2 tbsp ketchup	30
Turkey, roast beef, ham and provolone sandwich (lettuce, tomato, onion, spicy mustard and mayo)	673
pickle spear	5
16oz Gatorade	100
1.5 cups General Tso's chicken	439.5
1/2 cup fried rice	160
Chicken lo mien	230
Total	3740.5

Though there can only be one winning guess... we were overwhelmed with the amount of participation. So, Mark decided that next 5 closest guesses should receive an autographed USA swim cap. The additional 5 winners are:

Rob Butcher (Executive Director of U.S. Masters Swimming)
Renae Mitchell
Fiona Lee
Jenni
Pamela (Sorry... no last name, but you left a comment on the blog!)

Please email us your shipping address to receive your autographed swim cap at everydayolympian@gmail.com.

We also just got word that Mark's book: S.W.I.M. Setting Goals with Mark Gangloff will be shipped in the coming weeks. I think this would make an excellent prize for another contest, but what contest? Have any ideas?
