I've gotten tunnel-vision, but I've never crossed the finish line in that state... guess I wasn't trying hard enough

So I guess a lot of the Silent Hill monsters are just tired marathon runners.

How is it the men just jogged on through, but the two women battling for fourth looked like they were about to die? I was reminded of the images the allies took when they liberated the death camps.

Flux - 2008-11-16 those are like the 8th and 9th place dudes, they aren't crazy enough to kill themselves for who gets 8th and who gets 9th
whereas this lady has women's 1st on the line
the 8th and 9th place women probably look similarly nonchalant at that stage too

Camonk - 2008-11-16 Psht. Or women are just weak flowers with no place in sports.
Which one do you think is more likely, wisenheimer?

simon666 - 2008-11-16 I just tend to think these too women decided to forgo the gu shots people were handing out 5 miles before.

Flux - 2008-11-17 it's really only a big deal if you want to insist on trying to maintain your pre-wall pace

Galactos - 2008-11-17 I'm gonna go ahead and give that a big ? as distance running is preeminently the case study of the importance of nutrition, hydration and training. Carbohydrate loading and the tapering of training is 100% proven in increasing blood glucose/glycogen levels, effectively pushing back the glucose barrier. Running teams also rely on scientific studies in choosing the optimal glucose/electrolyte ratio in liquids taken before and during marathons. Studies of distance runners have also shown near universal reduced levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells over other athletes, due to cell turnover caused by repeated blows to the feet and the resulting iron deficiency. Iron of course is the oxygen carrying mineral of red blood cells, myoglobin, and ferrochromes, with all producing reduced long distance performance when found in below average levels in the body. This component of nutrition is especially important in women runners, as amenorrhea is seen as common, along with associated stress fractures and osteoporosis.

Flux - 2008-11-17 by "it" i meant glycogen depletion
which all it does is make you tired and slower, not make your legs go out from under you (that's happening to her because of plain old muscular fatigue) or make you so zoned out you can't remember your own name (that comes from a combination of endocannabinoids and dehydration)

Goethe and ernie - 2008-11-16 Weird, I knew I was definitely submitting this to POE when it made me laugh hysterically.

This is why it's best not to exercise. You risk looking like an asshole. Better to be fat and lazy.

Holy shit, don't try too hard or anything ladies.

Truly amazing that people would do this, but honestly I would rather run a mile and K-hole. That way it is more hilarious and you don't have to give me any respect for having ran, swam and cycled more in a day than you would in a year.
