"This is what it's come to" Is probably the most realistic quote I have heard. Imagine running your first 5k as a 6 year old and a man in a banana costume destroys you.

[@Gabriel_JudgeofHell]

5k at 6? my first one was at 13 6 is crazy

[@tristanheinicke8698]

I called my mom after the race to tell her I got second. She legitimately asked me "WHO beat you?" And I had to say "a guy in a banana suit"🎉🍌 🎉

[@garylq]

Hilarious, love it. Reminds me of Mike Wardian winning the Las Vegas marathon in an Elvis costume. I got the Guinness World Record at London for fastest marathon dressed as a milkman (yes, honestly!). As well as a full costume, including trousers, cap, bow tie ,etc. I had to carry 4 pints of milk in bottles. The GWR rules are very strict, in this costume you'd have been disqualified the moment you took your head out of the hood!

Run in a Santa Suit for Christmas.

[@superman198224]

I hate it when the banana slaps my legs when I run too!

[@randylazer2894]

Spencer, this is the very best advice I could give; if you ever have any conversations with Allie that maybe aren't the usual fun and loving rapport, don't ever bring up that you beat her PR for the 5k in banana suit! I am not saying that if you do there might be arsenic in your oatmeal... Well, you truly "peeled" off a great time, with a sub 5 minute "split" of your first mile, while running really fast for a "bunch of miles", for which everybody was "yellow" with envy! Yeah, I know that hurt. Great job, and you are quite the creative person, who did that banana suit proud.

[@Kieran0]

Hurts my brain that you'd run a 5k but count miles, makes no sense.

[@T1MB05L1C3]

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to start the 10kers before the 5k runners
