Best thing that ever happened to me.

I went running today, and about 3 and a half miles into my 5 mile run, there is this long curvy downhill in the woods. I get there and I've been moving pretty well all day (for me at least, probably ~7:10-7:15 pace at that point) so I decide I'll pretty much kill the downhill, and probably end up running like 6:30 pace on the downhill. Well, I'm coming around this turn pretty fast, and there is a thick tree line on the margin of the road, and I see a biker coming up the hill, and I hear him yell "RUNNER UP!". I jump onto the grass shoulder of the road and let him by, thinking, that was weird. like 2 seconds later, I see another biker coming up, and start hearing a ton more people yelling "RUNNNER UP".

I go around the bend and there are like 30+ hardcore looking bikers yelling "RUNNER UP" all in a row.

I couldn't stop myself from loling.

KTHXBAI

All 30 shouted, "Runner Up!" at the same time?

are you sure it was runner up? sounds more like jogger up from the pace you were running

6:30 pace isn't jogging even for you.

well at least you didn't get hit.

They were going uphill, so they would've been moving slowly.

I'm impressed by your internet bullying and running skillz.

Stop accusing people. Plus if you read what PTZ wrote it says he was "moving well" a.k.a. not going at a strenuous pace.

7:10? Most of my easy runs aren't even that fast...but on topic, lol@bikers. The Tour was last month, and the 1-month period in which everyone who owns a bike pretends to be Lance should be over by now. The ones I see are sooo serious and act like they're in better shape than me because I'm running at 8 mph and they're biking at 10 mph, when in reality biking at 10mph is equivalent to walking at 2-3 mph in terms of intensity

yeah that pisses me off so much

his pace is irrelevant to this story....

but i really hate when people get in the way of my run...especially when im trying to cross the street! i get mad if theres no break in the cars so i basically just run into the traffic and wait for them to stop
