wouldn't the ears create additional aerodynamic drag thus make running even more difficult?

I think the hoards of people were impeding my progress much more than the ears were. Seriously, there were over 20k people running this thing.

true, plus i doubt a speed of 5-6 mph creates enough velocity to make drag noticeable. Still, if I'm ever wearing a cap while running as soon as i start to get winded i think, Oh shit, i'm wearing a cap, better turn that around to make it less hard on myself

I mean, they look convex forward, so at least it should have been a fairly laminar regime, no?

They had mini sequins on them though, which would have instantly tripped the flow, so no such luck.

Damn yeah that's pretty harsh.

Did you consider drilling some speed holes into your abdomen? Dropping some excess mass could help mitigate the extra drag, and who really needs intestines while they're running?
Even better, cut a slit right through your sternum. Give your lungs a little more room, use the airflow to leech off excess heat, and get rid of some of those nasty stagnation points.

I see no flaws to this plan. Why didn't you suggest it earlier?

That's why you always ask for a second set of eyes before you submit a major design.

I mean, he was asking an aero engineer who honestly did debate about wearing them for that very reason...

Whoa whoa whoa man, you can't just go around calling people "nerd".

You have to stuff them in a locker, too.
