I visited Eugene recently for a couple of weeks and came upon a very unique group of runners. They ran decent times and usually won the local road races (against high school runners). but something bothered me about them. They showed up together, raced together and left together. Meanwhile never saying a word to anybody that wasnt a sub- elite local runner. They give the Eugene running community a bad name. All other runners there would be somewhat friendly before races. They think they are \"big stuff\" or Hot shots but in reality they are big fish in a little pond. I\'m writing this in hopes of them reading this and maybe reaching out to the local highschool kids or older runners or anybody and just start being nicer and/or less arrogant.
P.S. One other thing bothered me....The Bald One.
A behemoth of a runner with a shiny bald head. He is like an animal, before races he would grunt and snort. He also produces amazing amounts of saliva that by the end of the race ends up in his beard that is one of the manliest beards I\'ve ever seen. (I\'m suspecting a hair transplant from head to face)
