I thought that was the purpose of racing; to see who is faster between a number of people accomplishing the same task.

Being polite is running, not racing...

Experts said the world is flat

Experts said that man would never fly

Experts said we'd never go to the moon

Name me one of those "experts"...

History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong

If you volunteer to pace someone during a race and then beat them at the finish, that is being a dick. Passing someone during the last few seconds of a race is called competing.

Yes! This! It is a race.

Stiff wind and stiff competition. Joking Great job though! I would love a 19 min 5k.

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

If you had bumped and tripped the guy, that would make you a dick. Just passing him at the finish is perfectly OK.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

I would have surged past him without the slightest concern.

Besides, it's Valentines Day. What better day to break someone's heart?

I would (and have) muscled past some of my best friends in races.

I may buy you a beer afterwards, but on the course I give no quarter nor expect any. That's why it's called a race.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
