I always feel like warning them that it's a bad idea because with my peculiar 'girl's' running gait they are liable to either get tripped up or to trip me up I hate anyone running too close - it makes me speed up to get away from them!! Interesting video, Jock - I've never thought about that, but will definitely be trying that in my next race

I tried to keep up with a girl in a race that was making all those noises. Sounded like she was "enjoying herself" way too much. As usual, I couldn't keep up.
