Different guy, although looks like the same team - look at the socks.

Or the organizers who broke the first rule of buffet lines: have lines on both sides of the table?

Thank you! I was not trying to start anything at all. But he did not apologize or even look at me at the finish. It’s ok though!Race-brain is real - many people are not thinking clearly (if at all) at the end of a hard race! He may have had no thoughts at all about the banner or that it was not for him. He also probably had no idea that you were the champion waiting to take another photo (congrats!)
But also, he really should be given the right of way here and the finish line should have been cleared out for him. What was he supposed to do, delay finishing until the staged photo op was over? I don't think we need to give this guy too hard of a time. The real fuck-up was not having the banner up for your actual finish, but this guy is getting all the criticism instead.

2. Make winner stage finish line photo
3. Athlete accidentally interrupts staged photo op, winner passes blame to athlete on Twitter
4. Winner totally "forgets" to include small detail that fake finish photo was staged, Twitter erupts.
5. "Winner", now only in quotations, comes on ST to "clear the air".

For me it has to be Wurf, and I hope he would take it as the high compliment which I intend it to be.
But if it is just from these two, the tape snatcher. I have no issue at all with the Conor scene. I would rather see that than some guy keel over dead from exhaustion.

There's a post on this IMAZ Face Book page where a woman wasn't going to make the bike cut-off, and came upon a guy whose bike was broken beyond repair. This woman graciously offered her bike to this guy (who she didn't know) and he took it to finish the race. When she went to retrieve her bike after the race, it was broken and all messed up. No note, no thanks, no nothing. At last read, she had the guys bib number, but no resolution yet. I think he at least gets an honorable mention, unless there's more to the story (so far only one side has been told).

Thomas, Did you go and look at the Finisherpix photos on their website?
Heres the link if you didn't

It's clearly staged. They close the line together, at 4:30:17 then come back and stage a photo at 4:31:05. It's pretty funny

First of all if you can see my reaction I was laughing . And 2, the reason why it was a reenactment was because they didn’t have the banner out when I first crossed the finish line. So they asked me to go out there again so They could get photos of me grabbing the banner and then he sprinted and snatched it while i was about to grab it. I wasn’t ripping on the guy , i just thought it was funny.
I'll assume I am responding to Kelsey. Hey, I get it and I really think what matters more than anything is what happened after he crossed the finish line and when the crowd booed. At the point, I would hope he realized the banner wasn't for him and apologized. Sounds like from what I read, that he hadn't and that speaks of his character more. Beth was right, it was originally possible that he just thought everyone gets a banner like many Ironman races, but his action after he crosses the line means more to me.
And I know it is a good sequence of photos and humorous, but after a Colombian messaged and I gave it so more thought, I can understand their point of view a lot more even though I do believe an apology was in order at the very least. With that being said, and as a fellow long-time pro, we are never going to make everyone happy and will always upset people and I have done that plenty and will do so in the future too. I made a post a few year back that was similar on social and I just recently removed it because I understood how it could be taken the wrong way even though I meant it as simply amusing.
Anyway. I have often thought about making a post about you in general - praising your development. It has been truly awesome to continue to watch the fight in you and staying at it in sport. The ST crowd would be impressed with your attention to detail! And no worries, everyone will have forgotten about this by Friday.
Now, I just feel stupid. When did people put two and two together with the finisherpix. Now I really want to know what happened. This is worse than Peloton trying to goose their service making a controversial ad...

The guy that finishes with her at 4:30 is not the same guy at 4:31 even though their kits are similar. Look at the shoes and the hat.

As I remember it, the guy ahead, had cut into the line.

I thought the conclusion to that was that Ali was actually in a bad state and nothing was intentional......

It's obviously super nice of her to offer her bike, but I kinda have a feeling that she may think that a flat tire would require a trip to a mechanic.
Update: the author of the thread responded with the following: "The shifter cable had snapped". Could have have happened in T2 without the guy ever knowing about it.
Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

I think they come from cyclists! And it has objective reasons: increased stress results in increased defensiveness.
Runners are the most relaxed, because what could happen when you run together? You bump into other people and continue running.
Swimmers are mostly relaxed as well. Not many factors for danger. Subconsciously it's a bit more stressful, because you're semi-naked in an unknown substance very close to other semi-naked people.
Cyclists are in the worst situation. They have a very dangerous and expensive thing dangling between their legs. It surfaces less than ideal qualities in men (and woman sometimes)

Honestly, this is really lame and I now nominate the female pro as the D-Bag of the year. She interfered with another racer after completing the course and then had the nerve to get pissy at him? Are you kidding? Maybe he didn't apologize because she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.

Hell, I had my HR strap taken off my bike before I got into transition that morning.
