Bloody Bloody Shannon Rowbury

Not great advert for Nike footwear.

I just learned that the nosering is actually a breathing device. So I'll give her back half a point.

Sorry if someone has already posted this but...seriously, SR? Well done!

I'll give you a +1 on the weekend: minus one for the nosering but +2 for making the team on these feet and keeping it quiet until after.

That's crazy! Awesome to tough it out where others would've made excuses.

I'm not a fan of noserings but I am a fan of people expressing themselves.

I heard it mentioned that her foot was all torn up. Did this happen during the first round? I assume it was not as raw two days later. Still must have been very painful.

Did it say in the instagram when she lost it. I can't see where it comes off. I can see she's lost it with at least 500m to go.

there's the race

I can't see when the shoe comes off but it seems pretty early

I have one of those in my ass. It helps silence my farts while at the same time allowing me to exert more control over their release.

She's tough, and once again, as with the season finale last year, she's not ready to handle that Simpson is simply better.

More Shannon Rowbury appreciation threads?!

Yes, please!

I live the Nose ring, reminds me of summer.

Wow. That kind of blistering can be pretty dangerous stuff. Very easy to get an infection and have serious complications. Have to wonder whether she would have beat Simpson to the line if she had all her skin on her foot.

yeah but -1 for the lipstick

According to the official race splits, Rowbury had the fastest last 400m in the race. 58.81

She was boxed until about 85m to go and was closing hard before the finish

Thanks for the video. If you pause the video at 4:48, you can see the shoe come out from behind the back of the pack with just about 600 to go. I had to pause it like 3 times to get it right, but you can see it.

Careful to not wear it too long.

Strange she'd get skin torn off in 600 meters. She must not be used to running barefoot at all.

Why would she be used to running barefoot?

Hey ace, she wasn't jogging like the normal pitter-patter barefoot runner.

Sure it may have hurt but between the adrenaline of it being USAs and trainers being really good at bandaging up stuff like that, I would hesitate to say that she'd beat Jenny Simpson without sustaining those wounds. Regardless, props to Shannon for not making excuses though and getting the job done. I still don't see Jenny Simpson losing; Jenny is racing with great confidence and looking awesome right now. It should be fun to see them continue to face off.
