What are the beat and worst things that you've heard yelled at a race?

dad to his daughter (good friend of mine) "come on shannon! youre in last place" it was true and everyone including the daughter thought it was funny

"GOOD JOB, GOOD EFFORT!!!"

during our "JV" conference race in college, the varsity top 10 guys that were on their cool-down jumped out of some thick brush one by one and mooned me as I went by them on the back section of the course alone in 1st place. i lost 10-15 seconds because I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard.

I was running a road mile that was called the "Toybox Christmas Mile." It was right before a parade, down the parade route, so there were lots of people on the side of the road. I wore a box wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper with holes for my head and arms in the honor of the charity and to have fun running in a costume. A lady yells out during the race: "I WANT TO OPEN THAT PRESENT!"

Half way into my first college cross country race, I ran past my coach and he yelled, "Come on man, you're killing us!"

I knew I wasn't in high school anymore.

In a high school 3200 on a Friday, a coach yelled to the guy behind me, "I talked to Victoria. If you don't medal, you're not getting any head tomorrow night." The guy didn't medal, nor did he pass me.

I know its nothing being yelled but, those godforsaken cowbells. During a race is a time I gotta have less cowbell.

Huntsville Marathon, December 2011, at mile 18. It's about 40 degrees with a 15 mph headwind. I see a sign that says "Course Liar." WTF? I go on about 50 yards, and there are two guys sitting in lawn chairs by the side of the road, all bundled up and drinking coffee. As each runner goes by, they say some variation of "you look great; you're almost there; the wind stops around the next turn; the guy ahead of you looks like crap." Only time I smiled all day.

My "favorite" (not) is the doof who yells, "Mooove!" during a sprint race. Y'know, like he's imparting some great wisdom. Gee, coach, I think the guy already knew that he was supposed to go fast...

clearly not a sprinter

Not me, but at the end of a race two guys were racing each other and my friend hears one their coaches yell "FINISH HIM!!!"

running some 5K road race in raleigh, nc, i'm laying down a nice finishing kick, finishing in the top 10 or so, and some guy on the side of the road, kinda by himself, leans over and looks at me, and just kinda whispers... "kick ass". just the way he kinda said it like he was telling me a secret was so weird

Worst ever was "Go Lance!!!!"

The same coach told me to not let anybody pass me in the final 2 miles of an 8k because I'd "already embarrassed the team enough as it is."

Lol. For some reason I have been laughing for at least ten minutes at this one.

Maybe it's just me and the way the wind whistles through me ears as I'm running, but I cannot recall definitively hearing a single thing said to me by a coach during a race. Mostly it would sound like " ... toad spicket carspleen , right?" or something in that vein.

Me too! I posted it a friends facebook already.

"GET UGLY!" To someone finishing a race with an all out kick.

doing a mountain marathon and a girl at the aid station said want a drink....then as I passed by, want a date?

I think there's still food left for you at the finish line!
