"Don't"s during road runs

I got a little unhappy at these 2 girls during the run today. They were walking a lot - but so was i. The thing is that they had to walk on the far right of the running path!!!! Yes, i'm talking about runners F3 and F7 (hope they stumble on this and read this).

Even when the later racers came sprinting pass us, these 2 kept on the right side, walking. the runners had to avoid them.

So as i was on the race, i decided to mentally draft this blog post!!!

1. Don't walk/run slowly on the right side of the running path! Do keep to the left side!

2. Don't stand at the refreshment table and slowly sip yr drink there - there are people behind coming up behind you who wanna grab a cup and move on. Do take yr drink and move quickly away to the side to sip it if you want to!

3. Don't be dressed wrongly!!! Altho i do have fun seeing the funny things people wear. Some wear flowery shorts, some wear shorts which extend to below their knees, and a lot of people wear a cotton t-shirt under their running vests!!!! That so defeats the purpose of the running vest!!!! The running vest is designed to help absorb the sweat and dissipate it quickly!!!

4. Don't make any kind of body contact with other runners. I hate it when someone's sweaty arm rubs against my equally sweaty arm! Ugh.

5. Don't push and shove when going for the drinks after the race. People would not queue up and force their way. At the Ipoh run, i got so mad that i told off a few young boys and told them to go queue up. they immediately queued up - directly behind me!!! Today, an uncle directly behind me was scolding some people for not queuing up. As we approach the drinks table, he forced his way pass me to grab the drinks. Such a hypocrite!
