Ok, so I'm a little slow at updating my blog. This past weekend, I competed in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest Qualifier in Philadelphia, PA. This contest marked the one-year anniversary of my competitive eating career. My numbers in HDBs (Hot Dogs w/ Buns) have improved considerably since that first contest; my total at that qualifier last year was 11.5, this year it was 16.5, a 43% increase. However, it was only 0.5 dogs better than my personal best of 16.
My next attempt will be at the Molly Pitcher Travel Plaza on the NJ Turnpike in Cranbury, NJ. This contest is midday on Friday, June 22, 2007. As always, I'm going to attempt to do the deuce (20 HDBs or better), but I would be happy with just beating my personal best again.
I have no illusions about making it to the Nathan's finals this year; the wild card will probably be in the 23 to 25 range, judging from the numbers I'm seeing.
