We've seen some great finishing kicks and closing speed, now lets see the polar opposite!
I was running the local 5k dressed as Winnie the Pooh. I hadn't yet cut a hole in the head to breath through so I was barely under 7 minute pace. I was still catching a bunch of runners the last mile and passed a group of high schoolers at 3 miles. I could see the horror in their eyes getting run down by a honey filled bear gasping for air and even though I gave it everything I had, 3 girls and a boy went flying by in the last 50 meters.
The winnie the poo post sounds kind of like a troll, but here's a real finishing kick fail:
I was running in an xc meet this past fall and ended up in an intense end sprint with another runner. I was pulling ahead when somehow I managed to trip over my own feet and fell face down in the mud. The runner I had just past then tripped over me before I had a chance to get up. After I had crossed the finish line, I noticed that my leg was bleeding, probably from getting cut with spikes.
I think this could be a fun thread, please post about your worst finishing kick fails!
