Who else won their Turkey Trot this morning?

I started off well, but then all these crazy skinny non athletic types started coming from behind and banging into me like they owned the road. The nerve. I just about got trampled

I got a cool finishers medal today too! Can’t believe you can get something like that for enduring a 5k. I did win however, didn’t run very fast, but then again I am in my 40’s.

I call them “winners medals”, because everyone who finishes is a winner. Sure some people go faster but everyone covers the same distance and a lot of the slower people put in a lot more work than the faster people. All prizes should just be random draws for anyone who finishes.

I got beat by two guys who ran under aliases from Always Sunny and someone who won the 10k earlier that morning. I did beat my best friend for the first time ever. He's been injured and his PR is over a minute better than mine but I'll take it

I crushed the field at my turkey trot in Silicon Valley. Sub-14 FTW!

Felt great at the start. I was running with the top 5 at 1 mile then started fading, still in top 10 at 2 mile, ended up 15th. I would of won if I ran my best but wasnt too disappointed since I did a hard workout yesterday.

You would of won if only you'd learned English.

should be a new post: "I would've won if.."

wah wah

A solid 3rd in 16:28. Sole goal of the race was to beat the guy in front of me wearing the NOP branded Nike singlet.

I started without a bib ~15 minutes ahead of everybody and crossed the finish line ~3 minutes after the official start as spectators gawked at the new unofficial 5k road WR holder. I’m sure they were scratching their heads when I just kept running through the parking lot and off into the horizon.

I false started and got DQ'd. I would of won otherwise

Coming off successful Div II nats. Won the local Turkey Day 5k (sub 15) by 2 + minutes. Was DQ'd as a pro and scolded by some woman for ruining everyone's day.

Was hoping for a walk in the park but it wasn't meant to be...

Went through mile under 5 in ~4th place and said f that. Settled for an easy 5th and an age group prize.

I didn’t win my turkey trot. But I was selected on LRC as today’s lucky winner! I just need to click on the link to claim my prize.

I would of won but there were a few guys (and some chic) faster than me.

It's the most popular day for running races in the country, so I skip it.

I once met an alcoholic who drank basically everyday. He skipped New Year's Eve, since that's "amateur night."

Same concept.

Gobble gobble MFers!

Did anybody who won actually do the Gobble Gobble MFers when crossing the line? Unfortunately I'm much to slow and fat (but I know where to line up) to have been in a position to do it
