Cause they're too weak to hold them.
After Rupp's marathon performance, I've started using the expression "drop the hat."
Because of this:
Look here, jackoff.
Galen Rupp is probably three weeks out from his Mr. Olympia condition. He just needs to increase his carbs a bit to fill out.
Weak........Phooey. His pythons would crush your taint till it popped, nancy.

actually when you're running while carrying a hammer you will speed up quite nicely the moment you drop it.
we dropped the hammer in the 90s. It isn't from a LRC thread from 2012.
It was the dark of the moon on the 6th of June in a Kenworth pullin' logs, Cab-over Pete with a reefer on and a Jimmy haulin' hogs. We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh, about a mile out of Shaky Town. I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck. And I'm about to put the hammer down."

Carpenters do the same thing. It can be hurtful, so be careful.
As a distance runner, you have not truly experienced ecstasy until you have "dropped the hammer" and felt the glory of victory. My contribution to the thread recounting such feats:
"High school cross-country - never ran during the summer, was often a threat to win tri meets but could never close the deal. Senior year I actually regressed and muddled through the season, getting my ass kicked by people I easily beat the year before.
Final meet, the sectional championship and state qualifier - a freak snowstorm put down 3-4 inches of snow the day of the race. The course was hilly and entirely through the woods, slick and hazardous. By this last meet I was actually in decent shape, and entertained the idea of shooting for a qualifying spot for states, though no one else really viewed me as a threat.
At the gun I went out with the group of 3 guys who were contending for the win, but soon settled in just off the pace - it was too treacherous even with spikes. I needed top 3 so I tried to stay within striking distance, but a mile in they were out of sight on this winding course.
What to do? I pondered this for a few minutes, I was all alone - everyone either well ahead or behind me. Just as I decided to give it a shot, I turned a corner to go up a steep hill and saw that the 3rd place guy had faltered and was coming back to me - literally: he fell and slid past me all the way to the bottom of the hill, a good thirty yards.
Invigorated, I picked it up and left him behind for good. As time went by I saw no else ahead - at least I had locked up a trip to states - until I came out of the woods with 400 to go: Second place guy was dying, and I picked him off with ease, came up over the final rise and with 200 to go 1st place was about 40 yards ahead. The crowd was roaring, and I DROPPED THE HAMMER, blowing by the leader just 5 feet before the line.
Those top 3 guys had all gone out too hard in horrible conditions, it was the only cross-country race I ever won."
To many, trivial.......to me, a memory that I will carry to the grave.
Good post. I've dropped the hammer on occassion. Good memories.
If you do a hammer on your competitor's foot, it can help you win a race.
It's to ensure they never nail anything.
Jamin never even picks his up.
What do hammer throwers say?

Why do carpenters like girl distance runners? Cuz they're flat as a board and easy to nail.
Including you Rashida.
