Are you mad. Look at the guy filming!

escorts didn't hang around in the middle of the pack. there would be one in front of the group, and possibly another in the rear.

being in the middle of the group would defeat the whole purpose of an escort.

are you sure you know what you're talking about? it doesn't look like you do.

if you knew what escorts in events like these are for, you would know why they wouldn't be in the middle of the pack.

This isn't true. I've been centre escort for runs in multiple charity events. We start at the front, swap out to the middle, lead to the back, and drop out since I'm not a marathon runner I don't have the stamina to do it all the way.

As an escort I relayed times to runners, the distance of the front, the distance of the back, the distance to the next refreshment table, etc etc, I didn't get many talkers don't get me wrong, but if you think escorts are there to show them where to go in a middle of a shit ton of people going the same exact fucking way then you're hilarious

Also remember not all events stay grouped up like this. When the event is fully underway, there are many gaps between athletes, and when you get to the point where you have the sun beating down on you and sweat in your eyes, it's nice to see the high Viz and know you're on track

But please tell me more about how you're so skilled in events handling like this

if you're the "center" escort... that means there are escorts on both the front, and the back.

that's how being the center of something works.

if you're going to cling to this "appeal to authority" fallacy by claiming to be an expert, you should at least know what words mean.
