D'you it's never occurred to me to fib about my speed to get further up the pens. Is there something wrong with me or other people? (Hang on, I know that one ) I marshalled the starting pens at Reading last year. No, you might run faster now than you put down but you need to start in this pen. You want to run with your friend, you go in the slower pen. No, you can't stand here and duck under the tape at the last second. No I will not hold your jumper! This year I'm running, it's easier...

People who amble 2 abreast when they know you're behind them trying to get round.

People who walk in the cycle lane. It's painted green with white bicycles at regular intervals ffs. Your footpath is the entire rest of the path!! Dickwads.

People who give you WAY too much information. For example, you ask a person on the train how their weekend was and you get an essay in response about how terrible it was because of an argument with their wife...
Or asking how someone's game was and getting a blow by blow account of the players and how they're doing in the league and what positions people were in.
I'm being polite, stop making me want to stab you.

Yep, that grinds my gears too. Cyclists on any footpath. I do want to push them off.

[Oysterboy, I was looking at the Bath results and it struck me (ooking at gun vs chip) that there were an awful lot of people who must have started in the wrong place. I know there were three groupings: was it a continuous rolling start or a wave start? I can't fathom why people do that - having thousands pass you, a constant stream throughout the race, must be pretty demoralising, surely?]

People who have signed in then insist on standing around the signing in area so everyone else has to fight their way through.
Some simple advice after you have signed in is move the fuck away and allow others to do so.

It was a continuous rolling start. I don't know why people do it either. I'd just feel really in the way! I heard a girl comment to the friend she was running with that she was fed up with loads of people pushing past her, there's a pretty good reason that they were!
