Today's meme: Do you have a drinking problem? Do you spill, wear, inhale, snort, or drink the majority of the water handed to you during races? created by Runfasterdaddy

I hate cups in races. They are, for lack of a better word, dumb. Best story isn't about just me. In the Boston Marathon this year, I went for a cup of water about 6 or 7 miles in, and half-missed it. Where did it end up? All up in britishbulldog's face. I felt bad then, and feel bad now. I'm sure he'll get me back by kicking my ass at the Va Beach half in 5 or so weeks.

    At least you weren't one of the lucky few to be running through the Presidio last weekend at the SF marathon when the sprinklers came on! I heard a guy got dowsed in the face by a sprinkler with the water pressure equal to a fire hose... talk about battling the elements.

    I use a carry-on bottle in races; don't like water tables and hate the sticky goo (Gatorade, etc) that builds up near aid stations either.

    One thing I like about cups and water stations: It gives little kids a chance to volunteer and help out.

    Ha. I'd forgotten about the Boston incident. Too funny! We'll see about getting you back at RnR. I'll probably be asking you to pour water over me in that one...
