    Feeling the growl again

      what are you doing wastng time reading and posting on a RUNNING  message board when there are so many more serious issues to deal with?  Why do you waste time running when you could work a second job to feed the hungry?

      Jesus you people are sanctimonious.

       

      Do you feel better about yourself now that spent hours coming through marathon photo to "catch" "cheaters" Seriously, is your life that empty?

       

      You realize there are tons of horrible stuff going on in the world. To get upset about this…to spend anytime on it all shows some serious misplaced priorities.

            On Monday I was asked to hold a guy's junk while ringing a cowbell.

             

            I did it for free.

              You mean, you offered to hold lots of guys' junk.

                True, but that was for beer, so I guess that is a form of payment. The cowbell was just an added bonus.

                  Are we there, yet?

                    Meh. She was an accepted registered runner.

                     

                    ...who obtained her bib fraudulently since women were not allowed to run Boston yet at that time. She used her first initial and last name on the entry form. Had she used her first name, it would have been obvious she was female and her entry would have been rejected.

                     2024 Races:

                          03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

                          05/11 - D3 50K
                          05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour

                      Not exactly.

                       

                      "We checked the rule book and entry form; there was nothing about gender in the marathon. I filled in my AAU number, plunked down $3 cash as entry fee, signed as I always sign my name, “K.V. Switzer,” and went to the university infirmary to get a fitness certificate."

                       

                      As Bugs would say, there's nothing in the rule book that says an elephant can't play.

                        What is your point? If it is to equate what she did to what this year's bib counterfeiters did, I only hope you are not serious.

                              She wasn't required to use her first name at the time. She was also an hour slower than the first female finisher, who pirated the race.

                                The money was not the problem--you could not write a check and get a charity bib, it didn't work that way at all. There were not enough charity bibs for the number of people willing to raise the money. The charities held application processes and interviews etc., and, incidentally, the quota for most of the charities was a lot higher than $5k this year.
