Hey, don’t laugh. I’m doing my thesis on “Waffle House and its impact on Southern culture”
Also, her initial mea culpa was still thoroughly dishonest — she made it sound as though she made a momentary “bad choice” because she was feeling nauseous and cut part of the course. But she had to plan and execute this very carefully in order to finish at just the “right” moment, and then she made aggressive efforts to “defend” her time with race officials and the public, even going back in the afternoon to bike the course in order to create GPS data to post online.
If she were really sick she could have just called it a day and returned to her hotel, but no, she was trying to snag unearned “medal” glory. Typical liberal.
Yes, very elaborate and scheming. Gosh it makes one think maybe she’s used to lying and covering her tracks!
Yep—a fundamentally honest person doesn’t step out of character with this kind of one-time “slip up”.
Her degree is in “Social Studies” — I thought that was a Jr. High School subject!
Liberal female=dishonest
As a food critic, she needs gravitas to go with her mashed potatoes.
She stole that medal from somebody else. It’s rightful and deserving owner.
Exactly. Anyone can have a off day when it comes to competitve sports. To take the extra effort to lie and try to cover it up indicates to me she's dishonest to the bone.
Perhaps it is a good thing that she is just a lowly HuffPoo blogger. I would hate to think the scumbag held a position of importance.
“...such harshness should be reserved for serious issues.”
It’s a race, what is more serious than cheating?
Her 7:09 pace the first 10K is nothing to sneeze at. Although that could also be fraudulent, though it seems more realistic. It puts her at around an hour 33 minutes, which is pretty fast but very realistic for a very fit young woman. I'm a relative slug with a best half time of 1:55, slightly above average.
This illustrates why we see timing mats at multiple places in longer races. It helps guard against someone going "rogue". Someone tried to cheat in the Chickamauga Battlefield marathon a couple of years ago - and got caught. I've run the half marathon there twice, and have helped set up the course twice.
No way this wasn’t planned ahead of time...she lives in NY/NJ - is in FL for a race and she just happens to have her bike with her at/near the race in order to complete the deception?
Thing is, why lie about it? Nobody cares. This example of lying and cheating hints at a deeper problem.
My thought process didn’t get much past, “hey, she’s got real abs!”
I’m lost as far as pace, time, etc. A former girlfriend used to run marathons and told me that I would have to at least be able to do a half-marathon. My response was that she’d better bone up on her CPR. Otherwise I’d be waiting at the Pearly Gates for her.
Good luck finding a job, bitch. Google is forever.
And veritas.
The top female time in the Boston Marathon last year was 17 minutes slower than the mens time, which means the lead woman is buried with a lot of men.
The top male couldn’t cheat obviously, but the top woman might have a harder time of it now too. They probably have a camera on the lead the whole time anyway now.
The difference in times between male and female is amazing...there were, and still probably are, women who say they can’t do as well in given sports because they aren’t given the opportunities men have, instead of admitting that physically, the men have a biological advantage they can’t overcome, namely testosterone.
By the way, I think that is Ed King in the picture with Rosie Ruiz...:)
Interesting, are marathon runners now required to post GPS data online? Or was this just something she did on her own to try and maintain the lie?
Also, I believe GPS data is time-stamped. That is, if you were to analyze the actual data stream, you would also have date and time information in there.
“Yeah, that caught my eye, “I made a HORRIBLE choice” = “I thought I was SO smart I’d never get caught by you yay-hoos!”
Honest people do not consider it a CHOICE to cheat whenever it suits them.”
Sins and evil are now called “choices” and “mistakes” and “diseases.”
I have noticed this for years.
“I made a terrible CHOICE and cheated on a race.”
“I made a MISTAKE and cheated on my husband.”
“I have a terrible DISEASE which makes me smoke crack.”
No, you are sinning, you are being evil, you need to name your enemy to defeat it.
