Veteran 152 | Subject: RE: Your know you're a clydesdale/Athena when... The 5 yr old running her first 5k finishes just ahead of you. Not so much the finish ahead, but the fact that she made me feel like an elephant charging through the forest. Every time I would get within 5 ft to pass, she would take off sprinting. It was very amusing and helped the miles tick by, but I certainly knew I was the 300lb Gorilla of the race. |

There were 2 girls that would specifically not let me get ahead. I'd get close, they would speed up. It was funny but I understood completely. I wouldn't want to get passed by me either. |

I was going to pass a little girl in a 5k, but I told her "come on now, don't let the fat guy pass you!" and she smiled and got running. I was glad she got to finish ahead of someone besides the walkers 15 minutes behind me. I know I'm a Clyde when I can't wear half of the t-shirts I have earned. Fine by me, they're my first trophies anyway. |

Extreme Veteran 565 Jenison , MI | Subject: RE: Your know you're a clydesdale/Athena when... When you're standing in the staging area in a one piece tri suit and some dude comes up and says, "man I would like to shake your hand, it's great you're out here doing this." Happened to me two summers ago. Felt great at the end and talked to the guy again and found out I beat him by over 15 minutes. |

When you have to go to a "specialty" shop to buy a sports bra and none of the sports clothes stores carry anything that fits you unless it's in the men's section. Sorry for just jumping in but I found out I'm an Athena when someone asked over on the general thread. I'll go do an intro thread now, lol

one of these things is not like the others, one of these things is just does not belong, can you tell which thing is not like the others by the time I finish my song?
