Fats at road races... I've recently got into running two months ago. I normally do other things to work out, but a bug crawled up my ass, so I decided to sign up for a local 5k. I'm pretty slow (a bit less than a 10:00 mile pace), so I put myself in the appropriate corral. I saw some real heifers around me, but I decided not to question it too much because I figured that as a shitty newbie runner, I was already kind of out of my element. I probably spent the first mile dodging fatties who all were holding hands while walking together. Apparently everything that isn't the elite seeded corral is the walking pace, 15:00 min/mile corral. I know that some of these planets decided they felt they should be in the 7:00 min/mile corral, judging by how much of my race was spent jumping on the curb. I felt like a superwoman bounding through the streets, even though my pace was very uninspiring by human standards.  Managed to finish it in 30:05, but hopefully I'll get it down to a more respectable pace soon.
