If that's what it means I'd be more than happy to take a free ride the rest of the way in.
I think I could've stayed with those kinds of paces a lot longer w/o having to pull.
If your gut feels knotting/burning up before you ever get up front though, the group is probably too fast for you and you're likely gonna be shot after taking your turn. It is fun.....intoxicating actually....going that much faster than I usually do with the hot dogs but I've paid for it sometimes. I started pacing myself for the distance anymore because what time I gained in the first half would be lost, and then some, limping my way to the finish in the second half. Either way the hot dogs came in way ahead of me.
I'm sure the guy realized his limits just finishing that event (if he did) and will choose a less ambitious group next time.
