What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with morality. Do not be consumed by emotion. Bumps and pushes are all part of racing. Don't dwell on it. Move forward. I've been knocked down in one race in my life. I couldn't even tell you what the circumstances were and I dont care. Know why? It doesn't matter.

Only once did I ever have to deal with some knucklehead who tried to run dirty on me. Anchor leg, Penn Relays. 4x1500. Villanova anchor sat on me the entire way. I told him repeatedly to "get off my azz". He still refused to take the lead, not making his move until 200m to go. How would you react? Anger, like a little girl? Thats not how I roll....

It has everything to do with morality. It was a deliberate knockdown to remove the other runner from lane 1.

And if someone tries to sit on you the whole way, you swing out, slow down and make them take the lead. It worked for me several times.

YOU telling ME how to handle a guy who refuses to take the lead? An imaginary plan that worked for you several times? This is the funniest thing I've read on this message board in a looooong time. What a joke. LRC bravado at its best. Everybody funny, now you funny too.

You aren't even the least bit curious how it worked out for the disrespectful Nova anchor? First of all, that anchor was John Burns. Secondly, I was injured. I had a stress fracture. I was not even in half-assed shape. The week before Penn Relays I ran a 4:16 miles at Rutgers. I ran a 14:33 5000 in Thursday's 5000m figuring I could maybe fake it through a 5000. I couldn't.

Preface: Larry Bird used to complain to his opponents "you guys are disrespecting me." Charles Barkley replied to him, "Larry we've never disrespected you, what do you mean?" "You put a white guy on me -- that's disrespectful. You don't got no brothas to D me up?" He had used the same shtick on several teams.

Anyway, John Burns was Nova's white guy. Of all the horses in their stable -- Tiny Kane, Mark Belger, Don Paige -- Nova put the "white guy" on me. I get the baton in 2nd, Tennessee had 50-60 meters on me, the wheel was locked up for the Vols. Burns glommed on me, not giving me a foot of breathing room. I told him to "get off my back, man." I told him several times. So with 200m to go, he pulled out ready to make his move in front of the ecstatic home crowd on Woo Corner, instead, what he got was his azz handed to him in the most humiliating way. He can't say I didn't warn him. At the finish I walked past him, smiled, and said, "I told you to get off my azz, man." A lame guy with a broken foot.

"And if someone tries to sit on you the whole way, you swing out, slow down and make them take the lead. It worked for me several times."

So next time you want to impress your ladyboy friends with your imaginary racing advice, save it for the Turkey Trot. Is that OK?

😄 Yeah you was tuff enuff malmo, but I had Archie Jenkins on my tail!

Yes THE Archie Jenkins!!!

What would you do?

First time I moved over did nothin. Second time he said "I'm not f#####ng leading!!!"

I had no choice. I swung off like a team pursuiter lapping the velodrome and now he was the leader. I wasn't gonna be outkicked by a crafty old fox like Archie Jenkins.

So the answer is yes malmo.
