Is there a record for a marathon run while going into a mirror? Or with a selfie taken and posted on IG at every mile checkpoint? New challenges for a New Era.
I'm not sure if this is the record but it must be one of the contenders. Bonus points if you can sit through a 2,600 selfies.

anyone who wears a tutu. You know, those women who wear a pink tutu over their shorts. I mean really. It does nothing for you - just slows you down and draws attention to you.
golf clap.

Wrong, it's the brand for serious runners. The only brand not trying to be a lifestyle brand for the yoga crowd. There's some other brand like $150 for shorts which is the vainest.
At a 10k in the west of Scotland. Late thirties/early 40’s guy, precisely trimmed greying goatee (check), and that whiny, arrogant nasal sounding voice that anyone from those parts will recognise. Totally self obsessed/loving, spouting off to anyone who could hear him about his running, his times, his shoes, his shorts, how he ‘wasn’t sure if his body could handle 2 10ks in a month but he was going to try’. People were purposivrly giving him a wide berth in the hour before the race. Excessive stretching especially knees so he could stand and rotate his head, short jogs with his head swivelling round to see who was watching him (no-one) and all the time the non stop, overly loud running commentary.
I guess he finished in around 46 minutes or somewhere, he wasn’t moving far from the finish line as the last I saw him he was trying to engage other people on a monologue about his running performance.
You really have to have encountered too many of this self obsessed chip on the shoulder type to get the full nuance of how irritating they are.
I always see these men and women at the front of marathons wih their names on their bibs and always teying to stay in front and on camera. Just seems like they are looking for camera time and attention. What egomaniacs! Who do they think they are?!

LOL. This doesn't even make sense.
100% totally true story. My 11-year old son was leading a “Run Fit Kids” race. The race mainly composed of kids but several parents joined as well. My son is absolutely killing himself, trying to win it, with about 50 yards to go. This middle aged triathlete (I could tell because of his M-Dot gear) comes from behind, sprints past my son with 30 yards to go, and breaks the tape. Even worse, I learned afterwards that the guy’s own children had been racing too, but he had left them run by themselves to he could run his own 5K race. Sigh.

Ten, twelve years back I ran a 5K with the kid. Walked some of it, jogged backwards a lot, that sort of thing. Encouraging. Got the kid to the finish.
Hung around a while because the finishing area had some neat stuff going on. Awards. Heard I won my 10K div in a 33 low. Not bad at my age. Weird. My kid was signed up for the 5K, and I signed the kid up. Signed myself up, too.
Was the name of this "the kid" Billy by any chance?
