Jim Micheels Back With You

Hi Again,

Jim Micheels back with you here - It has been some time but now I'm out on the other side from store ownership. I wanted to still share thoughts, observations and such about running.
So- how do you feel about contact (or even intended contact) at the end of a race that impedes another runner. When I was coaching it was an automatic DQ from the race.
Our friends at Letsrun.com recently covered such a case recently at the end of the women's race at the NYC Half Marathon.

This one was a close call. Second place didn't break her stride so I'm thinking no contact, but still...
Like the article said - keep your hands down when finishing.

Run fast - take chances!
