I am running a 4 mile race this weekend. I will be wearing a banana costume. How much can I expect this to inhibit my performance, aerodynamically speaking? I have good range of motion in it.
This is a serious question.
Gonna need to see a picture first.
that doesnt sound appealing. i fear you may slip. are we talking cavendish banana? it will cost you 35 seconds per mile.

Will the banana have dimples in the skin?
What is the angle of the banana versus horizontal?
Is the banana erect or leaning forward ?
I will be running mostly erect, but will consider running bent over forward if it improves aeroness.
I would run bent over forward to improve aeroness. Remember to swipe side to side every now and then as you weave through the crowd :0) I am going to guess nit will add 30-45 seconds a mile to your normal mile per minute time.
why not just a yellow banana hammock? with sock stuffing of course
You are bound to have some tasty splits…
Can’t think of much more embarrassing than being overtaken by a banana. Crush dreams.
I will be running mostly erect
Be sure to contact your doctor if that lasts for more than 4 hours.

Right. Right after I call my girlfriend.
I don’t know how it will affect your pace, but if you slip on your own peel at the finish line it will make for a great photo.
Plantains are 5% faster than bananas.
You may need to shave the banana for optimal speed.
Apply bodyglide liberally to potential chafe points.
Leaning forward will definitely reduce drag.
Halloween-themed 5k’s are so much fun!
Arms in or it will effect aerodynamics with them out? but if they are in you might slow down or fall over due to lack of balance.
Ripe or mushy banana I think ripe would be faster
Will you be consuming other bananas on the course if so is that cannibalism?
Are you the only ‘fruit’ running don’t wants to get apple’d on the course
At the Beach to Beacon 10k this year, I saw a guy race as a lighthouse (the race ends at the famous Portland Headlight). An entire lighthouse. It was like 10 feet tall, built on a wooden base with rolling wheels that he stood inside and pushed. I think he finished under an hour. You have a silly banana costume, so it’s not like you are pushing a 50 pound lighthouse along the course. I expect you to PR by 18 seconds.

Just avoid all the red shells and you’ll be fine.
How intoxicated will you be prior to the race?
Last halloween I debated running a 15k as a lego block - I decided the risk of injury was rather serious so opted out.

I intend to be sober. It is a smaller first year race, and I fully intend on placing as high as I can. I am taking this very seriously.
However, I will be getting very intoxicated afterwards, natch.
