I predicted long ago in some ST thread that she wouldn't even make the US team let alone medal. I had already forgotten about her until I saw your post, and this pretty much puts the nail in the coffin except for perhaps die hard Gwen fans. She simply transitioned from world class (indeed, world best) triathlete to a national class runner; and proved that triathlon and marathon are two completely different sports. I do wish her a speedy recovery.
+1 not that anyone wished her ill, it just looked like waayyy too much of a stretch to be the best in one sport and then the best in another sport.
PS edit I'd like to see her return to ITU as I'm more interested in seeing if she could make a complete comeback there vs being a national class runner.
Indoor Triathlete - I thought I was right, until I realized I was wrong.
