This gorgeous 100% polyester tee shirt, was, by far the most uncomfortable thing I have ever ran in!!!...but as my French fellow women citizens were all wearing it, I felt I should comply...
The start was on a narrow street, with dangerous knee high pillars all over (the French love those, they use them to keep off parking on side walks...!) that you could only see when you hit them, of course....! WITH YOUR KNEES!!!
Runners, walkers, children and "the only disable gentleman" that was allowed to run, were all mixed together on the start...no law suit around here!
I was shoved to the side by an enormous amount of blond ladies, very rude and unfriendly, wearing the lasted Lacoste shorts....and Adidas runing shoes.
There was no friendliness in the event, the few on lookers were the husbands and kids..some older people...and through out the route, several times I had to slow down to not get run over by cars, Yeah, there was a volunteer guy there...but he was too buzy chatting................!
It was so poorly orgined, just like the french : Everyone wants to be in charge, looks like it is in charge, but has no idea, really WHO IS IN CHARGE!!!
The route...not a map in sight, no pins in the bag..it's ok, I lived down the street...no place to change, no place TO PEE..............................wow!
No drinks on the route....
What an experinece, what a trhill, a good think I arrived in the first 50/100 or so, at least I could walk back and forth to cool off.(no cool down section either)..you WAITED IN LINE TO GET YOUR TIME CHECKED...what a joke...and then they all started yacking right then and there, in front of the other poor women trying to catch their breath....arriving after them.
Drink were within 3 mn, a good thing...yeah, IF YOU ARRIVE IN THE FIRST 50....I felt like showing them aside so those poor ladies, all a bit older could get to it too...
RUDE
I knew it.
I know my people............OMG I am bitching...I almost sound French.
Next year. I am volonteering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO, NEXT YEAR, I WILL HAVE MOVED TO THE MOON!!!!
