There was a small 5k on near me. The prize money was catastrophically very generous for the standard that was there. $100, $75 and $50 for the first 3 people. There were about 500 in the race. I missed out on easy money here in a race won in 18:16. Thank you snowflake society.
I was doing my strides before the start of the race while most people were already standing behind the start line doing some dumb warm up dance/stretch thing which the race director was getting everyone to do. I just chuckled to myself and carried on with my strides. This was my chance for not only easy money, but to impress any girls that saw me winning the race. I didn't expect much competition.
2 minutes before the start of the race I climbed over the barrier at the starting pen to the front and straight away a group of women in there 40's started shouting at me and told me I should get to the back of the line. One said "back of the line bozo" to me. I just turned and told them I'm a sub elite and aiming to win, and that I would have to pass all the slow people if I started behind them. I turned back to race the start line again and muttered "biches". They overheard me and got aggreshive and started hurtling all the abuse in the world at me. I tried to ignore it but just shouted back at them "why don't you get to the back you idiots. You have no chance in this race. Stop blocking everyone else's way yourselves". To make matters worse some tough guy(eventual winner) told me to shut up and drop it. The women started cheering for him and telling him he should kick my as in the race to teach me a lesson. I shouted fukk off to them. The race director was aware of the incident and was watching us for half of the ordeal. He told me to get off the course and that I was DQ. I just ran away and shouted "fukking hobby joggers" and sprinted off. Should I make a complaint? Why weren't the others DQ'd if I was. Society is messed up.

Why didn’t you bandit it and “win”? Even without the official W and prize money, would have been a great opportunity for a GOBBLE GOBBLE MFers.

If this actually happened, would have been hilarious to witness.

Cool story, bro.

If you weren't an a$$hole, then people wouldn't treat you like an a$$hole.
When I'm in this type of situation, I treat others with respect, and then they typically treat me with respect.
You called them b!tches and !d!ots and cursed at them. If you expect a respectful reaction when you interact with them in that manner then you're delusional. -
I would love to see you and the430miler compete in an intelligence test.
I realize that you are only ten years old and it’s obvious that your parents don’t pay enough attention to you. But even a person with an IQ of 50 wouldn’t be this stupid. Get back on your meds and keep writing your stories. -
The fact that you actually told them you were "sub elite" is hilarious.
-
You were in the right until you muttered "bitches".
-
You did the write thing. Tho I would have just ignored them lmao
-
Was it because of the shoes?
-
I would have just stepped behind them and when I passed them.....called them a few choice words.
-
Is this story real?

the430miler is the best letsrun troll of all time and it's not even close. I guarantee whoever is behind that handle is a low-level genius for understanding how to perfectly bait people in such an obvious way and still get responses, time and time again. -
Society is messed up man. I was trying to win a charity 5k that was supposed to start at 8:00. At 7:56 the fat woman MC suddenly began the countdown to begin the race while I was still warming up a block away and the other sub-elites were all over the place.

It's impressive how many people believe everything Banana Bread writes. Is Letsrun the last place on the internet where people don't understand what trolls are?

No one says bozo anymore.

Why didn't you run it regardless? 0/10.

Never happened.
Someone's husband or bf would have taken you apart.
