So she's now claiming it was all just a big mistake with a ton of excuses, and that her "trolls" have harassed her even thought she totally owned up to it and immediately contacted the timing company to disqualify herself. Also she screwed up her training for the week and now she might not finish her IM in November, so she's going to try again in 2017. Because failing miserably at a 70.3 and a full IM after a 12 hour marathon means you should try the IM again.

Are you kidding? This is the ultimate letsrun forum story with the three deadly letsrun sins: fat, slow, cheating. It's the entire letsrun experience in one story.
^ This.
Time for rojo to issue a $100,000 challenge for a sub-60 5k-mary for this lady. That will generate an unparalleled number of pages and clicks here. Poor Rossi and Young.

Oh those awful cut off times at Ironman ... lets see her try and change those. She can buck right off.

What needs to happen in the future is to separate events into two categories.
1. Races where people actually run that are timed and have listings. Like they have always been.
2. Walking event where people are not timed but instead rewarded for finishing.
You can see by this idiot's nonchalant attitude towards the finish line and her girlfriends as well that they are oblivious to the fact that this is a timed running foot race.

0/10.
People in #1 are far more likely to cut courses to get better time (or place). So it solves absolutely nothing. Unless the problem you want to solve is something other than cheating.
I love the reverse finish video.
At 0:35 our hero saunters across the finish line from the wrong direction, toward her friend to get her picture taken. She has no problems at all walking at this point. Immediately after she raises her arms for the photo she slowly turns and seems to barely hobble into the crowd with newly developed limp.
She reminds me of someone. I don't know who. Just round up the usual suspects.

Don't pass off someone else's words as your own. A simple "I liked this comment on the other website ..." is not that hard.
