One thing I haven't seen discussed ...
At the finish, if one has to run to the finish line on a beach/shore from the water, what is the etiquette on passing?
i.e., person finishes swimming in front of me, but takes FOREVER getting out of the water to the finish line on the beach (walking slowly). Is it completely rude of me to run by him/her?
-Would this differ between fun and more competitive races?
-If the person was a different age group/sex, would that affect your approach?
Thanks!
(I'm new so if this is already discussed somewhere, please direct me.)
Rob-I think that was me. Congrats on the Georgia State Games Open Water Swim. I had only swam open water once before forever ago, and this was way more fun!!!!
Being that it was a fun event, I felt it was not in the spirit to pass, but if that would've been a gal who looked my age, game on:) I was shocked that I got third in my age group.
Thanks to everyone for your input.
On another note, I do pass in the chute in running road races. Most people I pass at the end are people who walked up every hill while my fat butt ran the entire race:)
