We’ve had someone else say her 1:14 half marathon (the alleged course cutting one) was clearly BS "1:14 is national level elite running.
There is no alleged course cutting. She cut the course, period. Multiple credible witness who were running with her, multiple officials including the RD also confirmed she spoke to them after the race and was very vocal about her 1.14, no mention to anyone she took a “wrong turn” and had to use google maps to find the finish. **She even posted on Instagram about how pleased she was with her time, again no mention of the “wrong turn”. **She only admitted to this, deleting her IG post, when people called her out on it. Do you not think that dressed in pink, with dyed pink hair and hundreds of other runners that no-one would notice when she cut the course…?
It seems Marathon Investigation has been too hasty in questioning her Badwater result and it is legit, but the HM course cutting was deliberate.
And in the IG post, mentioned working hard to get over the “little hills” on the way in. These “little hills” were the part of the course she bypassed and never ran! It’s indefensible.
Yeah, she tried to bluff her way w/ that BS “1:14” result, and got busted. Hard.
That LetsRun link shows that many people she supposedly “passed” never saw her bright pink ponytail pass them.
Not for nothing, but I don’t care how deep in the hurt locker I was, if a little chick w/ bright pink hair passed me in the last few miles of a HM, I’d remember it.
So, no - I do NOT feel bad for her, at all, that people are questioning her Badwater result.
Is it legit?
Maybe? Possibly? Probably?
I have zero problem with her result being scrutinized.
