In Penticton, BC, site of the IRONMAN Canada race for many years, the community support was legendary. Residents would line Main Street right up to midnight, encouraging and running in with the last few stragglers. Many times, a racer got the burst of energy needed to make it over the line before timing out.

A case of living up to the proverb “nice guys finish last”.

Anyone who finishes a marathon is to be congratulated.

I’d rather be a nice guy finishing last, than an a-hole finishing first.

That’s quite a stride for the end of a marathon!

He was a nice guy, he stopped to buy rounds at the pub.

I’d laugh if it didn’t sting so badly…
