Why does Galen Rupp sitdown on the track after a race?

Please think! wrote:

No, they can't be as tired because they didn't run as fast.

Decent troll. At first I thought it was terrible but you got a couple of morans. So I'll admit that I was wrong.

To my fine feathered friends:

By the way I had my own experience with flopping after a hard run once in a cross country practice. I was a freshman and it was one of my first days out for the sport. A senior came up to me and helped me to my feet and told me that we did not do that because it is bad for you.

It's like a lot of other things that are happening these days. What used to be considered bad is now okayed, especially by young people. Some of these things will come back to bite you later in life!

Don't say it, spray it:

Did you guys know that all three candidates for President back the use of Marijuana?

Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump, and now Gary Johnson who was actually in the business and CEO of his own Pot plant. He has the beans to think he has a chance to become President!

But then that's how crazy this world is.

Don't come crying to me when a pot smoker runs into your car going 85!!

End of Rant...for now!

This is from "PukingPrimer/Runner's World," which you can look up on the internet if you have the guts:

"Vomiting after hard workouts and races can be caused by the sudden change in effort as you stop running hard, particularly if this immediately follows an increase in intensity as you kick to the finish. As you cross the finish line or end that final interval, your brain, lungs and heart may not be ready for the rapid change in exertion, and your stomach may continue contracting, which can make you feel ill--similar to the feeling of seasickness.

PREVENTION

Ease off gradually.

Make sure you have a thorough cool-down and avoid sitting immediately after a race or hard workout. As soon as possible after finishing, continue to walk around or jog lightly to give your body a chance to adjust to stasis level and prevent stomach cramping."

It also says that vomiting is not good for you!

So stop with the flop and be a man!

There's Mondodildo at every of their creation.

11 percent of the population smokes pot, yet all three candidates are for the legalization or recreational marijuana use! Gary Johnson was CEO of a POT PLANT! You can't even vote for the 3rd party candidate.

Vote for the family dog I guess.

Minorities rule the world because of the internet!

It's a sick, sick world. Why am I surprised by all the people being okay with Galen Rupp sitting on the track after a race? I should not be. Yet you cannot just let youth be stupid. This will only lead to more stupid!!!

When you run sub 27:00 for 10k I'd say you can do what you want... for the record I'm not at all a fan of Galen, but when you're that fast I'd say do what you want after the race...

because he is butthurt after getting hyped up and beaten in almost every single race ever since college

It is track & field's equivalent of dancing in the end zone! The thing about that is some guys have gotten injured badly via celebrations. There was a guy on the KC Royals baseball team that celebrated upon scoring a run in the playoffs.

He is just now returning to the game. I do not remember his name. However that may be a further reason not to celebrate.

We live for quick self gratification.

Rupp might just leave his Olympic gold medallion one day on his sit down on the track.

This is serious stuff!!! Someone should help him to his feet immediately after he pulls this stunt. How about you Alberto Salazar?

In a way I do not have a problem with him sitting on the track for a very short period of time as a celebration.

However I am concerned if this becomes a habit for a high school team.

Kids do not always understand why things like this happen. As an example, I once had a West Point qualifier doing squats every day during the winter between CC and Track.

Kids will do anything to win. Sometimes even the smart ones do stupid things. If you have ever coached high school kids, you know what I mean.

TRUE!!!

Thank you for your comment.

Sometimes you can give such a good effort in a race that it will be your best one of the season. If he is to "sitdown," he should do it after he has won the Gold Medal!!!

Perhaps he is waiting for someone to help him up?

Perhaps Galen Rupp can also run an 800 in 1:38.
