So, today I ran a half marathon (no backdoor brag - I'm fat and old =2:20)
There was this couple that I must have passed back and forth 30 times. He was obviously pacing her. He would run up ahead and then stop to let her catch up. Both, obviously using some audio prompts on their headphones so they couldn't hear anything else going on at all around them.
She would be going good and then, boom! Stop to walk right in front of me.
So Freakin' annoying. I think it's a stupid crutch for people that can't pace. If you are gonna do it, at least realize you are not the only one out of about 5000 out on the course.
Flame away about my whining.
