is it wrong to hate a certain race?

i like doing shorter races like 5k's and sprint triathlons, but some of my friends are into marathons and ironman's, and i just hate the idea of going for that long.

    Do what makes you feel good about yourself man! I only run 5k's myself and am very proud of myself. I climb small mountains too but have no desire to conquer Everest!

    I've never run *any* race. I hate running, so I probably hate all races. I want to try a 5k though. Especially a tough mudder or warrior dash.

    I'm only interested in doing races with man-made obstacles. Non-obstacles races are lesser races in my eyes and should have their own separate, not equal, status.

    Warrior Dash was GREAT!! I couldn't *run* the whole thing (lost my inhaler early on and didn't wanna die alone out in the woods), but had a BLAST!

    This is not a "race". It is an obstacle course. 5Ks are for 2-pump chumps. :tongue:

    This makes you a racist. No race is superior to another race. I should report your *kitten*

    Scientific studies have shown that races with walls to scale and junk cars to climb are physically superior races to those without. They are the next evolutionary stage of average races involving only running.

    They are the future. They are Cursus Superior.

    Your race is superior.

    Without a tee and a medal, how can you prove it? A question for the ages.

    He said 'in my eyes' - totally acceptable.

    I love long distance races where I can slow down to a walk sometimes and take pictures and savor the day - im like the epicurian of runners. For me, running any distance without stopping to take pictures is a huge obstacle

    Also- running on the sidewalks in new york IS an obstacle course.

    hills, moving targets, more hills, slopes, bent up cracked uneven sidewalks, horse poop in the parks, loose basement doors on the sidewalk, random wild children appearing out of nowhere, suddenly blocked paths where you have to climb over fences, stairs, more stairs, chinese delivery bikes, drunk people, i could go on

    one of the best though is running through a big group of pigeons and scattering them everywhere bwhahahaha

    yes Im a child

    You've been reading "The Bell Curve" again, which tells me they've been secretly teaching you to read. *reported*

    I hate 5k races personally. They are so short, and the people so fast that I feel inadequate. I enjoy the 10k races as they are a little shorter than my average training run. The races I really look forward to are the Half Marathons. Its an endurance thing, and sure the winners are easily twice as fast as me, but I know that only those who really love distance running are even bothering to be there, so there is a great sense of camaraderie. To each there own! :)

    This hatred spews out of my blood in effervescence whenever I contemplate about enduring a race more than 10km.
    I prefer the 100m.

    I really want to try one of these someday, but until my upper body strength surpasses that of a roadkill squirrel I'm going to stick to sucking at long distance instead ;)

    I would like to just be able to run. (The process of trying to get away from someone who is chasing you with a knife doesn't count I am told!)

    When I run at night, I pretend Im a jewel thief and run through Chinatown in all black and I wear dark sunglasses and red lipstick. Sometimes pretending assassins are chasing you helps you run faster.

    Jarlaxle rocks, though.

    <<< Actually re-reading the Dark Elf Trilogy as we speak. Drizzt is a damn sap. He is such an emo :laugh: Jarlaxle has the right idea.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you here: in his eyes means its his opinion so in his opinion non-obstacle races are lesser races. This, therefore, makes him a racist. Yeah, I'm just gonna report him to um, the people I report things to
