I ran in a Half Marathon last Sunday and had a minor conflict with someone I was drafting behind. At about mile 3, I started drafting behind this guy and he immediately and vocally expressed objection to my drafting.
I would have stopped drafting at this point. He was obviously annoyed by it. I assume this wasn't the world championships, so I see no reason to continue to draft.
Quoted message said:
Although I continued to draft since there is nothing illegal about it, I never once made contact with him.
It's not illegal. But sometimes you just have to do the right thing.
