I was running 1k repeats on the track trying to hit 3:30, i then hit 3:31 for the second rep, i threw my f*cking ironman watch on the fall ,cracking the display.I just knew the sh*t was faulty, how on earth can i hit 3:31 if i was staring intensely on the 200m splits. I'm never wrong.

Last year around this time, I was intoxicated and mad. I threw my phone in a lake and didnt bother to get a new one for almost 50 days.
Depends on how you define "lake." I think it was more of a pond.
Golf club, yes. But a watch?
I had a really bad race and was depressed. On the way home, I drove over a lake and stopped on the bridge. I wasn't really thinking clearly, and I took off my watch, began to spin like a hammer thrower, and let it sail.
It was oddly satisfying watching it spin through the air and then splash into the water.
Then I felt dumb. So I went out and bought a new watch.
I ran by the lake the other day,
Past the bay and bales of hay
thinking 'what a lovely month this is, May,'
Only to eat mosquitoes instead of whey,
From sap and sweat, my shirt to stain,
step not on wooden chip but in clay,
And then realise, my mind then stayed,
running is useless-
rhyming is hard-
and threw my watch in the god-damn lake.
Nope...but a buddy of mine way back in the early 80's bombed in the Indy 500 half marathon. In those years the race finished at the finish line on the track.
After his embarrassing race he literally found a small shovel from the pit area, dug a hole in the infield, and buried his Nike Mariahs.
Probably still there!!
I threw a Patel Phillippee in the Ganges.it was a knock-off and that river is filthy.
No. Of course not. What a stupid question.
Learn the definition of the word angst.

I'm pretty sure they were making a joke... you don't sound very fun.
Yeah, I've done that once. I ran a tempo on a course that ended up on a bridge. When I saw the time I just ripped of my watch and threw it into the lake below.
In that same moment I realized that I had just thrown my genuine Patek Phillipe Nautilus and not my Garmin into the lake. I put my hands to my head, closed my eyes and cried out in pain. When I opened my eyes I saw an artist sitting with his easel at the end of the bridge.
No, but I threw my coach in the steeple pit once.
No, but I once threw it over a prison wall.
I live in a van down by the lake. I am able to feed and clothe myself by fishing disgruntled runners' watches out of the water and selling them on eBay.

No, but I did so with a golf club once.
Bumping for more replies. Really need more responses to this.
I once took a dump in a lake, if by lake you mean my neighbors birdbath
