Dr. Phil Skiba has an interesting blog on this.... our collective morality.
In my view it matters. Words matter. You may not know it, but you can dine out for a while on a 30min 5k in some circles... imagine an IM in that context. So, while she cheated nobody but herself, she still cheated. And, unfortunately, as long as people pay special attention to people like us, and as long as their are people like us who crave attention, then people will cheat, even if it is for a 14hr IM finish.
special thanks to the timers... having all those mats caught a cheater and likely prevented a few more. Imagine if a Kona slot went to a cheater?

Here is my question - why the hell would anyone bother to look up Jen's splits? She wasn't bragging about some awesome KQ, or a top AG placing. Really, who gives a schitt enough to look into it?
So it appears as though the first stone thrower is gerechtheid.....a new user who only created his account yesterday and only has 2 posts to his name. Hmmmm....someone with an axe to grind, perhaps?
Wonder if the ST sleuths will bother to dig into that one with as much zeal. Kinda doubt it, though.....easier to be a douchebag, I guess.
Interesting.....good enough for me to say again, why does anyone here care about this? If (and I emphasize
if) Jen cut the course, she only cheated herself. None of the "outraged" here were affected or impacted by her alleged actions.
I find the actions of gerechtheid to be far more troubling than anything Jen may have done.
YMMV.
