Death to all Noodlers!

So now I've seen noodler cyclists. In that case I had a noodler runner encounter. For reserves we have a fitness test 2x/yr. One component is a 1.5 mile run. Since certain medical reasons can make running harmful, one can qualify for a temporary waiver and walk instead. Great numbers willingly elect to choose, and perhaps abuse, this route. The start and finish of 1.5 mile course is measured to the inside lane of a 400M track which is OK with a dozen or so runners because it strings out. When I did my test last year there were a handful of walkers that started with the group. They ALL shared the inside lanes, meandering and chatting in unpredictable routes of sluggish travel. The runners had to constantly dodge them making it an obstacle course, and eventually just stayed in the outside lanes. My time was about a minute slower than the prior year.
