No, I'm not going to sugercoat it for you because one race.
Keep stealing my username, I will continue to post and will not be forced out by trolls on here
Now that the other thread is up, and since I am bored, I will address this.
It is pretty clear what happened here: you thought I was messing with you by registering your name, and you lashed out with the phrase "stubborn stupidity." You got called out on it and you then tried to defend your rudeness with the "I am not going to sugarcoat it" line.
No discerning reader will buy that line of defense for rudeness. "Sugarcoating" is covering something unpleasant up with sweetness in an attempt to hide the unpleasantness. "Not sugarcoating" is not justification for being rude or making a personal attacks. It is not justification for abandoning decorum and tact. It is possible to not sugarcoat things while conforming with social decorum and norms by simply being direct, as I am doing now. I am not sure if you do not understand that or understand it perfectly. I have honestly often wondered if you have at least a mild case of Asperger's as you seem unable to connect with or communicate with anyone on this board in a normal way. Either way, you are, in fact, being rude and everyone sees that.
As to the "one race" line, I'd ask in what races did I go out at a pace that was significantly inconsistent with my fitness? The only race on which you have ever congratulated me was Gate River Run this year. You have consistently been wrong about my fitness. We can go back to my tempo workout last fall when you said I was racing it at near race pace and that there was no way the weather change explained my workout pace. I then went on to run 30 seconds faster in my 5k in cool weather than I had been running in the heat, a time pretty much in line with my workout pace that day. I was in 1:12 high shape for Houston according to you. I ran a PR in1:11:04, over 90% age graded. Same for my evenly run 15k at Gate. Then, oif course, there was Chicago, when you also asserted that I was "stupid" for picking a fall marathon, that I couldn't PR, that if others were my friends that they would discourage a sub 1:15 half and you concluded that I was in 2:35 shape. Houston is the only race where I went out aggressively relative to my final time, and even there, my first 10k was only about 5 seconds per mile faster than it would have been had I tried to run 1:11:04 with even splits.
Please name the races that I have run in which I demonstrated the stubborn stupidity of which you speak? I imagine you must have several in mind since you assert that this is a page in my book.
I have no idea why you have a personal issue with me. I honestly don't care either. But since I am bored, I figured I would waste a few minutes dispelling some of your untrue assertions.
