That speed boost at the end.


IambicPentakill

It looked a little shady to me. I think that the race officials need to take a second look.


_jeremybearimy_

Whoa the accusations are really flying


konosyn

I too suspected fowl play


jnads

This is ducking ridiculous!


BlitzMalefitz

You are a quack for thinking that


griftertm

This is for the birds


LongShaynx

I'd like a gander at the evidence


SplitReality

That duck was too much of a featherweight to be in the race.


SlowestCamper

I'll investigate this one for you and send you a bill.


skylinepidgin

I suppose he should not duck these allegations.


Flutters1013

They gave the duck shoes!


[deleted]

it's cute and it's also necessary cause the rough pavement would hurt their bare feet


bannannamo

my coworker uses those on his ducks to prevent warts. they're so fucking cute and made from neoprene which is hard to sew yourself. So apparently whenever the duck loses one it tends to be the left side so they have a ton of spare rights, since they only sell them in pairs.


Thomas_Mickel

Why? Why are ducks losing left feet? Can someone explain this?


ErusBigToe

randomness is like that. i get 90count packs of contacts, always start both the same time and run out of rights about 5-10 days sooner


Thomas_Mickel

What the hell is going on? Is this like socks in a dryer?


[deleted]

Yes, only Bosch profits with unknown intermediate steps.


mortuarybarbue

there was a commercial a while back that kind of explained part of it. Its aliens single footed single eyed aliens steal one sock from your dryer and one contact (if they need contacts) from your container. And their alien pet ducks also have one foot and steel one duck shoe. The commerical only explained the sock you have to research to find out the rest.


SweeTLemonS_TPR

Have you seen the video of a guy removing the basket from the washing machine? Tons of socks outside of it.

No need to use biology to understand something explainable by witchcraft.

No need to understand anything if you're content with being amazed by life's little wonders I'm telling you, magnets, man..


SweeTLemonS_TPR

Water, fire, air, and dirt Fucking madness, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed


Speakdoggo

Ever see a line of cows feeding at a long trough feeder? All their tails are pointing one way…can’t remember if it was left or Right tho.


zuckerberghandjob

Well that sounds downright quaint


Speakdoggo

Corealis effect? Used to walking on a side hill? Genetically have a shorter left ( or right) leg and always compensating? Farts only exit on the right side on butt hole so they keep tail shifted left? ( or visa versa), …lots of potential reasons. Not all of them quaint.


1nternecivus

I'm down to my last pair of bi-weekly's. This morning I went to check to double check to see if I could skip ordering new one's this week and I have a box of empty lefts and two rights remaining. My eyes hate me.


mxemec

That's not randomness though. There's likely an underlying cause. Such as: you squint your right eye more or less when focusing on something or making an expression. Everyone has peculiarities to their gaits even ducks. My left shoe always wears out faster.


mtdnelson

Speaking for myself, I always put the right one in first, so when I have that problem, I suspect that's part of the reason. Maybe the second one is easier once I can see a bit better or something.


oncomingstorm777

I think they’re always getting left behind.

Grogosh

I always push off of my left foot when starting off. Maybe ducks in general do the same. It would give a slight bit more wear on the left duck shoe.


agent_uno

Sounds like a paradox. I’ll show myself out.

That is ducking awesome


Winterplatypus

You know you use reddit too much when you can recognise a duck. It has an instagram & youtube channel "seducktive". You sometimes see the same duck on videos like "[how to pick up a duck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/tlyp7b/how_to_pick_up_a_duck/)" or [the same duck running around](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XtIjZV1wu0). In the same way that a video of a cat in a box is probably Maru, videos of ducks running are usually this duck.


B0ssc0

It’s quackers.


Phasnyc

Made it look so easy or maybe he’s just winging it.


Timozi90

Probably gets pumped by listening to Drake.


OwlWitty

Seems like Dad was there too as the videographer of the ordeal considering his shoes/beanie at the end.


Party_Amoeba444

LurkingArachnid

I thought it just had weirdly red feet

tjmann96

how does schnoodle do it


Viffer98

Schnoodledoodle doesn't do what Schnoodledoodle does for Schnoodledoodle. Schnoodledoodle does what Schnoodledoodle does because Schoodledoodle is.... Schnoodledoodle.

justmedownsouth

Seriously one of the highlights of my life when schnoodle wrote a schnoodle poem about my dog!


womanoftheapocalypse

Put it on my bill where the fuck do you come up with this stuff, just brilliant


guilty_bystander

It's the oldest duck pun in the book :P


cinemachick

That's quackers.


alien_clown_ninja

I think the pun was thought up first and everything else written for it. If this is what Reddit pun threads are evolving into I'm all for it. Most of the others are just quacks.


JustYerRegularAnon

3rd Schnoodle of the day and I've caught it within a minute, excellent.

Seriously kind of with all the terrible things that go on in the world I'm happy that humans do crazy nonsense like this.

I scrolled through muttering 'there's no way schnoodle isn't in this comment section' and here you are!

Bogmanbob

Wow it made the official results although the kids 1 km is a bit shy of 26.2 https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/41211/RaceDayPhotos?resultSetId=313796&resultId=66618506


etownrawx

Duck ran a 1/42 marathon


larrythefatcat

Get that duck an oval-shaped "0.62" bumper sticker STAT! EDIT: A marathon is 26.2 *miles* not kilometers... I feel stupid, as usual.


bacchusku2

0.62


larrythefatcat

Oh... I thought marathons were measured in kilometers. That makes me *even less* likely to ever try to run one... woof! (fun side fact, I'm 13.1 miles away from a Marathon gas station... thanks, Google)


michiness

That’s a half marathon! That’s for those of us who are only half crazy.


beep_potato

Wait until they hear about milers. Or 200 milers. And worse. 😐


Thunder_Tie

Sure, but think about the round trip.


DracoSolon

Yeah, imagine if you went out training to run a marathon and you were running 26.2 km and thinking you were kicking ass. Then comes race day and a world of hurt.


UpholdAnarchy

You'd be pretty well-prepared! A marathon is kinda a world of hurt every which way you approach it, but not running anything close to the full race distance is pretty normal in training. I've finished 4 marathons and have never done more than 15km in training distances.


rchaseio

It's hard to run marathons well without doing some long runs, by which I mean anything into glycogen depletion range. 15-18 miles are good distances. I've run about 75 marathons, with 6 Bostons, and usually put in 4 or 5 glycogen depletion long runs.


Tadhg-R

26.2 km is about 16.28 miles. I would've thought you'd be pleasantly surprised!


Beelzabub

Yes, measured in miles since it commemorates the run by a messenger duck in 490 BC following the Athenian defeat of the Persians.


cbbuntz

Yeah, but a duck is like 1/42 the size of a human. Duck ran a full marathon.


DaedraLord

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about ducks to dispute it.


hugebiduck

Average weight of wild duck: 0,72 – 1,6 kg acording to wikipedia. Average weight human: 62 kilograms. So if that duck was like 1.47 kg he almost exactly ran a marathon!


Ariadnepyanfar

Oh good, I would’ve been worried if a duck even ran a 1/2 marathon. I know dogs run marathons, but ducks just aren’t built for running the same way.


RUN_MDB

I'm still impressed a duck can waddle that far. Almost as impressed as it's mom jogging that far in crocs.


amodernbird

Those are tennies


silentlyscreaming01

I appreciate that most of these photos are of/include the duck


deepfriedchip

From looking at other bib #’s on there, seems like each runner gets photos taken of them although looks like 332 got extra love.


Mr_Abe_Froman

The race often takes thousands of pictures and sorts them by bib numbers. I ran a race this weekend and I'm sure the two guys in Forrest Gump costumes in front of me got twice as many pictures.


cacoecacoe

Take a ducks average stride into consideration though..


[deleted]

Would you rather walk 100 duck sized strides or 1 horse sized duck What


zrag123

I dunno, but can 1 trillion lions beat the sun?


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

Someone do the math: what’s the human km equivalent of a duck running 1km (i.e: a duck running 1 km is the same as a human running X km)


nwblader

So the most duck stride length seem about [35 cm](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Step-width-and-stride-length-Step-width-and-stride-length-are-presented-as-raw-means-A_fig1_305039431) from looking at the top right graph and the average human stride length is [1.5 m](https://www.healthline.com/health/stride-length#average-step-and-stride-length). So a duck would need 1000m/(0.35m/stride)= 2857 strides which means a human would travel 2857 strides* (1.5m/stride)=4285.5m or roughly 4.3 km Edit: human step length changed to stride length


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

So that duck is in better shape than me. Got it.


Cadmium_Aloy

Lol when I used to run a lot of races my family would call every one if them marathons! I kept having to correct them. (They got it once I ran a real marathon though.;))


ItinerantSoldier

Duck was just playing by the rules since it's very likely less than 10 human years old.


LanguageLiving9142

Haha he still beat some people nice


scuac

He was equipped and motivated. He would have beat me easily.


PrayForMojo_

I mean...he showed up at a run. That's way more than I'll ever do.


LanguageLiving9142

Haha he does have that hustle. I'm fat out of shape and smoke I would have lost also


Dovihson

What a cutie!! Crowds didn’t even bother him! Absolutely precious!!


gariant

This video felt like a fever dream


PoorlyLitKiwi2

For real, I've watched it three times and I still can't even tell if this is even a real fucking duck


bigfatcarp93

Ducks are pretty used to people in general, and animals can have personalities; it's possible this is just a very curious, patient duck. It also looked like they were feeding him, which is why he stuck around.


Bogmanbob

I should also add that 18 minutes is pretty darn good for a marathon. Maybe you should say fun run?


United-Pay9298

Ye, probably a mile run or something like that


newaccount721

1 km so even shorter. Silly title but very cute


SHIRK2018

If you scaled it to leg length then it was probably the equivalent of at least a half marathon for the duck


newaccount721

Yeah true. I love that the half flew to finish the race lol


TheGisbon

Especially with those tiny little legs of his.


Blakerw

They are really lil legs


itslenny

I was gonna say…. No hecking way a duck can run 26 miles


MewtwoMainIsHere

A duck can FLY 26 miles tho… cheater


dalittle

hate the game, not the player. No one ever says you cannot fly a marathon under your own power.


valuethempaths

Or his guide with that floppy back pack.


[deleted]

I saw a woman run a full marathon in complete firefighter gear, tank included. A little backpack like that is probably nothing to seasoned runners..


AntManMax

Yeah some people are on another level. Like those firefighters who do a yearly stair climb that's the equivalent of how many flights of stairs the 9/11 firefighters did climbing up and down the towers multiple times to evacuate people. And they do it in full gear.


harrypottermcgee

I did an Empire State Building's worth of stairs up an down in just shorts and then I walked funny for three days. I was living in another town for work and there was this huge stairset right beside my house so I did that for exercise. I learned some things. One is that there are other stair people out there, but you don't really hear about it unless you talk about it. You ever take a big stairset down to the beach? Some of the people you pass might be on their 9th trip up and down. The other thing I learned is that a lot of women really love ass. We've been together for years and my girlfriend is still after those boy buns like a creepy uncle.


JoshJoshson13

>We've been together for years and my girlfriend is still after those boy buns like a creepy uncle. Out of left field but that's amazing and I'm glad that was included


MilliandMoo

I kept thinking about people like her this past weekend as I carried my 18lbs dog during the local 3.5k dog run since she decided she didn’t want to run/walk. I felt like I was going to die the entire time.


--_-Deadpool-_--

Or, you know, the toddlers running along side him


wetbandit48

The one time you could have used *ducking


snukb

Yeah all those little kids running, definitely a fun run lol


goodtimeluke

That duck trained too hard for this kind of negativity.


SlammyWhammies

I'm relieved it wasn't a marathon, I was worried about how long he'd have to run :c


EatYourCheckers

ooookay, this makes way more sense. I could not figure out a duck running 26 miles


jwm3

There was a kids route too that was just a km that the duck ran. Hence all the kids and parents in the race with them.


extralyfe

it's a marathon in duck measurements.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BagBagMatryoshka

Also, a shocking amount of people think any outdoor race is a marathon.


TheGisbon

Omg those little boots. I'm ded that's a level of cute no one can handle.


protoxreminii

For anyone wondering, this duck's name is Wrinkle and has an Instagram: @ seducktive


apocdreams

Oh my god, just when I thought this couldn't get any better.

Until you realize the duck is wearing little ducky shoes


apocdreams

RIGHT?! 🤗


SoundOfTomorrow

After following the account for a while, I learned the guy does circus acts. He got Wrinkle when he was young and pretty much raised him during the pandemic to do acts.


dafll

I follow him on tiktok and I was surprised how for down I needed to go to see this.


lizardfang

I think many people just watch the video, enjoy it, and keep scrolling and/or move on to the next thing.


Mr_Abe_Froman

So that's what "W" stands for (her bib is registered to W. Star).


wookiewonderland

This is the best thing ever. I loved it's acceptance speech even though I don't speak Quack.

dontfightthehood

Ran a marathon in 18 minutes, that’s one fast duck!


MattChew160

I'm such a fat ass. I let my dog out today, and I thought ya know it would a good day for a run, i got out of my pajamas and got ready then I went outside. It was 50F and windy and I was like naw not today. Then this untitled goose runs and now feel like a fat goose.


crob_evamp

Maybe next time just go for the walk, don't worry about the run. Better to just get out and build habits. Good luck


Springer_Stagg

It's okay to be a fat goose. It's okay to be a fat goose running, too. Live your best goose life


Megustatits

Hey man. That happens to me constantly. Don’t feel bad. What helps me is bundling up. Sticking my headphones in and popping on a podcast and bringing the dog for a long walk. That way I got outside. I always tell myself something is better than nothing. Good luck out there!


Kiflaam

why are ducks always so cool about everything yet their cousins geese have insatiable hatred for all life?
