Last place

[XMENPorsche]

This is why you don't want to run at the back of the pack - especially on a muddy track.

[XMEN Gambit]

So, if you're not the lead [horse] the view never changes, because your goggles are muddy!

You need to turn this into a de-motivational poster.

"Being last doesn't ensure that all you have is mud in your face"

or

"If you fall behind make sure you keep enough distance to appear to be first"

or

"No matter how good you are there will always be someone ahead of you throwing mud in your face"
