Weird Running

[Spunky6666]

I've been running cross country for 3 years now, and in that time, a lot of crazy stuff has happened during my races. Once, it was muddy and a guy slipped turning a corner. To catch his balance, he flailed his arms and accidentally punched me in the face. So this got me wondering, people of Newgrounds, what's the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you while running?

Running? Newgrounds users?? I think not...

Personally, I've had a ton of weird things happen to me and my teammates while running. I've been elbowed in the nose and had it broken mid-race, I've sprained my ankle minutes before the start while trying to take a piss in the woods, I've streaked nude for over 7 miles, etc.

When you run for years, the stories are endless. Plus runners have some the weirdest/quirkiest personalities in general, so we tend to get into weird situations as a group.

I slipped on a muddy part and slid on one knee about 3-4 yards.

Shit was so cash.

I was in my school athletics team and was the secret long distance runner :D and i was winning until the final lap and was winning by say 25 metres on the last 100 metres. I start running backwards with my hands in the air, shirt over my head celebrating.
Then i trip and sprian my ankle, then everyone else passes me and does wanker signs at me.
I was dropped from the team.

One dude on my team, ran into 3 poles in a row, and then dropped out mid-race. (he is part blind, as the cones or rods in his eyes are dying)

At one race (this is at the boardmen spartan invitational), it wasn't really weird, but at the start everyone screams "this is SPARTA!!!" as you run up a short hill that lasts about 300 yards

I don't know, I guess one time I was running in the woods and went over a short ledge and didn't notice until i was in mid-air, it was actually a really strange felling, because you expect to hit some ground but your foot just kind of falls. Luckily it was only about an 18 inch drop.

I was on cross country last year. I was 2nd to last. Nothing really weird happens to the people near last.

I ran cross country this year and right now I'm in the post season. But for the weirdest thing, I'd have to say it's kind of an ironic short story.

So me and my friend Matthew are pretty evenly matched (about 17:00 for a 2 mile run [God, we're slow]), so we had a competition every meet to see who could win. So before every race, I say, "I'm gonna beat you," or something intelligent like that.

In the last neck of the race, maybe 50 meters or so, he passes me, sprinting, saying, "What did you say about beating me?"

So, after about a second, a come to my senses, start sprinting (I'm the fastest sprinter on the team) and say, "Oh, I said something about it."

I slipped on some mud going round a corner one time and smacked another competitor in the face by mistake.

Well, the flu shot, physical handicap girl does QUITE the opposite of weird running.
