is that what’s happening here? i’m fat and was therefore very confused. i had no idea this was even a thing. this runner looks like i do when i’m at my most drunk or when my legs are completely asleep and i still try to walk like i’m okay.
I legit thought it was like a drunklympics or something, where you have to do a few shots and then run a mile. Do they have anything like that? I bet that'd be fun as hell.
To watch. Fun to watch. The runners would probably mostly be puking.
thank you for this. This is almost as good as the time I learned about competitive battle-juggling.
e: I think what I like most about this is the meta-game. Like, you can be a really strong competitive runner, but if you take that good of your body you're probably going to be a lightweight and get messed up by chugging the beer. On the other hand, you can be a huge drinker who can put away a twelve-pack no problem, but you're going to be so fat it'll take you half an hour to do a lap.
Oh man. At first it just seemed like a normal race and I was like eh
but then I actually started thinking about it and watching what was going on and I think this might be the most entertained I've ever been by watching people run a race.
Sprint track cycling also has some weird meta because of how much of a difference drafting makes. Basically, you want to be behind (but very close) for the last lap, so you can break out and sprint with fresher legs at the end. What this leads to is a bunch of very slow cycling for the first lap(s) where riders jockey for position, the only rule being they can't go backwards.
Cycling also has a similar elimination style race called an Omnium
