And the award for most disappointing race/runner of the year in 2018 goes to...

Jordan Hasay

Gwen Jorgensen (still can't figure what happened)

Alexi Pappas (what a joke)

Keitany's race was also funny

Bekele

Oslo's steeplachase barriers

Des Linden's pathetic 2:39:55 in Boston

Just out of curiosity, what was your time the year you won Boston?

Everyone knows this was horrible. Linden ran 17 minutes and 18 seconds slower than her PB on the same course.

Subtract 17 minutes from the Men’s race and then judge Linden’s performance. It was a fluke and she proved it in NY.

Although Boston has tried to help her in 2019 with no other American that is within 7 minutes accept Hasay who hasn’t been healthy in a year.

David Proctor & his attempt to take Al Howie’s record across Canada. Liechtenstein would have been more appropriate, given his background in much shorter races.

My race to ride some AH c0ck

I'd say based upon the hype (both media and personal) and results alone, Gwen Jorgensen has to be up there for the women.

Bekele destroyed the field in a major 10 miller with big hills and without carbon springs in 46 minutes and didn't evan try hard so that was good. He was unfortunately injured for his marathons but he could still get the WR next year in 2019. Look at 2015 where he missed the whole year but bounced back for an epic 2016.

Confirmed Banana Bread alt account, make sure you remember it people.

For ultra running that must be Camille Herron.

She promised us a new World Record in 24 hour running in the 170-174 mile range.

All what we got was a lousy 162.9 miles.

Shut up, Camille. You don't get to pretend in interviews like you don't read LRC and now come here toot your own horn.

Soren Knudsen

Michael Slagowski

Mary Cain

Gwen Jorgensen

Parker Stinson hyped everyone up then failed again

All ultra running is a failure. Go there when you can’t win at real racing so yes she is a failure.

Turns out I might be in love with Emily Sisson.

Joey Defeo

I'm not sure Rupp or Gwen will ever run a marathon again.

And I'm not sure Cain will run anything again.

Pappas = Stinson, so both can be ignored with little consequence.

Definite worse performance of the year at the twin cities marathon. Went out at 2:30 pace leading all the East African pros behind her and faded badly with a 1:25 second half being first American and sixth overall. Could’ve ran much better. 15 year old girls are capable of running much faster

All those semi-elites that promised OTQ times at C.I.M., but failed in perfect conditions wearing Vaporflyes.

I'm not banana bread. I think Bekele will bounce back next year and get the marathon WR. Jos Hermens said Bekele got injured and didn't really get time to train yet he still ran 2:04 pace for most of the race and would of gotten 2:07 if he cared about finishing in 2:07 to satisfy some idiots. Imagine how good he can be without injuries and full periods of training. I personally literally believe he can beat Kipchoge.

+1
