Ugh you'd think so. But at LEAST the one race that I did this year, and admittedly I did the 5k version (it was 50k or 5k, and I'm more of a happy half-marathoner), but wow there were so many trail slugs REEEing at the end about how happy they were with their 40 minute times, slurping back the beetus juice and thinking they earned a 2,500 kcal Denny's grand slam x 2 special.
