I was working a 10K/5K in today. We were getting ready to announce the awards when a female protested that the results were incorrect. She even pulled out her iPhone to show her strata results that showed her finishing in third. And I mean she was ADAMANT.
Looking at her phone, we were almost ready to believe her. Then one of us noted that the time her run started was about 15 minutes after everyone else. The starting arch and timing mat had already been picked up.
I don't get it. How did she cheat?

Well because everyone else ran a race through participant traffic and she soloed a time trial. Or drove

Not buying it. More likely she's stuck behind walker traffic after starting late. She probably just thinks her official time should be her net time -- what her phone / watch says. Unless I'm missing something, calling this a blatant cheat is way out of line.
I've had numerous high school students sit in the front row in class and copy someone else's work in front of me. When I confront them they look dumbfounded and say, "they're helping me."
Cheating is not really a big deal any more. Even administrations won't give out consequences. So if this is what's happening as school, the workplace, etc. why would it be different at a local 5k.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
