Race Etiquette

So in the real world, certain dinner party worlds, and especially my our wedding world... sometimes I forget the world does not revolve around me. Now, don't get me wrong. I love to listen to others, I like to give back to the community, and I've been told I have a big heart. Or maybe that's what I put on my match.com profile before I met Finn. hmmm.

But I think I am funny. And given the right crowd and perfect alignment of the moon & stars (which happens 78.3% of the time), I am flippin' awesome. Hence, possibly why I was so successful as a cute little Girl Scout pawning off calories you really didn't need but felt bad because you know those cookies stood between me and my troop's future XYZ project!

Whole Lotta Awesome in one "Elite Athlete"

Anyways, I digressed.

Back to race etiquette.

So at the Savannah RnR, I mentioned that I hit my wall kind of early. Myself and the two lovely ladies I was running with from my local run group decided to pick up another runner. She was having a hard time on the back of the course. We all ran together for a good eight miles of the course and it was great to have someone else with us. But I am not gonna lie... she wore my mental strength out.

How do you run & ditch? At mile 24, she saw her friends on the side of the course and they ran her in. No thanks, no wave. I almost felt like Kris Humphries (post Kim Kardashian divorce). I am not asking for a Grammy for my jokes, movie one-liners, and keeping our minds off of the mileage but just an acknowledgement that says "hey... thanks!".



I have been researching some of the articles online. And I can't find anything that says it's ok to "sprint, walk, when group catches up, sprint again" for four or so miles of the eight you spent together.

QOD: What is the funniest thing that has happened to you during a race?

PS- Finn and I didn't meet on match.com.... we met somewhere equally as cool.
