I left this fun little tidbit out of my 10K recap yesterday, but I’ve decided you guys should know because it happened, and I lived to tell the tale.
Here it is: Not 30 seconds into the race, a guy in front of me blew a massive snot rocket and I ran directly into the residual mist.
Funnily enough, I recognized that this was an extremely disgusting thing to experience, yet was hardly phased by it. I was like, “Hmm, that just happened. Time to run this race!”
There’s got to be some sort of snot-rocket etiquette, right? Especially at the beginning of a race when the crowd of runners is pretty tight?
Be polite with your snot rockets, guys, and be vigilant about avoiding the… ughhh… mist.
