No sooner ha...I'm hearing you about etiquette. No sooner had the race started at Geelong than bam everyone came up against a wall of walkers. It was play dodgem trying to get around everyone. Rained the whole race for me and was cold. Ick. As for the warm up I never do them, I do my own stretches, etc. But last year must tell you this - at Geelong - they were doing the pre-race aerobic perky girl with too high a pitched voice warm up and the flipping race had started and she was still doing the warm up (loved the sound of her own voice obviously!) It was hysterical everyone just started running away from her and she was still going, hahahaha.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-58835605870956224812016-05-12T20:00:02.049-07:002016-05-12T20:00:02.049-07:00When I was a at a health retreat donkey's year...When I was a at a health retreat donkey's years ago we got regular massages and EVERYONE used to tell me they'd fart. The guys also sometimes struggled as they got a little... umm... enthused by the process. I figure the massage therapists have seen it all!<br /><br />PS. Yay you.

If you are a walker you don't sign up for a running event and vice versa. And I am slow and back in the days when I did races I never stood in the front and always kept to the side of the road to give the speedy runners space.<br /><br />I didn't know you were on IG, immediately looked you up and found you :) Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-493919752389272052016-05-12T03:40:44.589-07:002016-05-12T03:40:44.589-07:00But you turn up and WIN!

Even with a laptop, this messes with my blogging mojo. Nice job! I have a hard time computing in Kilometers unless it is in increments of 5, 10, 15, etc. but I eventually figure it out. :) I've started lining up for races in the mid pack or behind the front considerably but I think I've learned my lesson... all sorts of people are in the front that shouldn't be...and it makes for a very slow and difficult start. Laughing at the little kids lined up in front of the elites here...
