On March 10, teams of four will compete in the “BigsMacDown” in San Francisco, an event\u00a0which the co-founders describe as a “burger-eating pageant.” U.S. Olympic medalists\u00a0Elizabeth Beisel\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Maya DiRado<\/strong> will be among eight swimmers competing.<\/p>\n

Beisel and DiRado will join with former Stanford swimmers\u00a0Felicia Lee\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Andie Taylor\u00a0<\/strong>on the “Breakfast of Champions relay.” The four will comprise Team Fast and McFlurry-ous. “Each girl will eat a McDonald’s breakfast item as fast as possible and\u00a0the fastest relay to finish will be crowned champion.”<\/p>\n

Check out a hype video the team put out.<\/p>\n
