You need to go post on Runners world. It's clear you have never ran competitively and don't understand what is important. A DNF is only seen as weak to people who so desperately need their finishers medals - those who jog marathons (and ultras) where the only goal is to finish and get their participation medal. They want finishing to be seen as tough because finishing is all they've got. It was great that he went out their and tried, but Sage didn't need another Boston finishers medal which you joggers prize so much.
There their they're... yeah, I didn't proof read, sorry.
A DNF by a self-hyping, overhyped, hyper jogger with an ultra large, ultra jogging ultra crowd of ultra blog readers about an over hyped display of ultra-mediocaty should be ultra-embarrassing to both the mediocre talent and the sheep that follow.
Dude claims how ultras are a different beast taking internal fortitude and preparation and gear and toughness to deal with mountains and snow and rain and wind and elevation.
....meanwhile ultra dude goes home devastated because it was raining and windy and 44 degrees. Wasn't Hardrock snowing and raining and 28 degrees. For 100 miles??
A better question isnt why Sage DNF'd but why so many sheople still follow him?
