The womens mini marathon tops it for me though. These heroes have to cover a distance of 10km. Most of them are bet down middle aged housewives who look like they could do with a good seeing too but would have a heart attack at the sight of a pair of plums. Running the 10 km is also out of the question as it's highly likely that they might break a sweat.
Having worked in catering I've dealt with participants after the event. Most of them are in such shock that they've been displaced for a few hours from Wysteria Lane that they go on a mad food binge. I mean, they've just strolled 10 km in about 3 hours. Most of them are gulled into believing that if they complete the marathon they might lose weight when all they're doing is losing fluids. I've seen them lash into steaks and burgers, probably the only bunch of people to put on weight by the end of the day.
Agree with you EJ, that lot with the medals are akin to the jester hat wearing, face painted muppets you see on the Kop or at International football matches. What next? Running the marathon in the buff?
