this is actually a good thing. it adds more story to your medal.

my bid for the medal is $2000. not more.
awesome prize
What a morally indecent and profane woman to want to have an F word engraved on her medal. I wouldn't want to have anything to do with such women. I will stick to modest, humble and worshipping women instead.
No it's indecent, lewd, vulgar and profane of her dignity. People would think she is a hoe. Trust me on that!
Be funny if she got on here with the medal, thus fulfilling your contractual offer by performance, and demanded 2K from you.
how did she medal? wrote:
I'm confused. How did someone with a 5 hour finishing time finish in the medals? What place did she finish?
you are not confused you are a troll
The funny thing about this story is I feel like Des would think the f*ck medal was funny. I'm sure she'll just sign the new one if they get in touch with her. She's incredibly chill
I can’t make any sense of putting the f word on your medal, unless the engraving was free. Was it free?
i bought a car once that spent more time getting expensive repairs than it did driving me around — but I never hired an artist to airbrush “stupid waste of money” on it.
i also can’t imagine framing the wedding photo with a first husband with a custom frame that says “screw you”.
it just doesn’t seem worth the fuss of engraving! I’m baffled.

It's a "finisher" medal, I throw those out. Only the self absorbed would care about these landfill trinkets
Only the self-absorbed would care about telling others what they do with medals.😆
Oh, and they are only landfill trinkets if you put them in a landfill, genius. If you don't want one, DON'T TAKE ONE. Duh.
I put mine it a box. I love racing and it is fun to be able to fish one out at random and recall the day. Don't know what that has to do with "self absorption" and more than keeping a photograph or literally retaining memories.
Possibly one of the best running related stories of the last decade.......
Would have been slightly funnier if it was Shalane's autograph.
If that is Des Linden’s “signature” she needs to seriously work on her mental health issues.

Wait - Did you just call her a garden tool?
1. I agree with a medal that reads “F—k Des Linden”
2. I always wondered who thought Des Linden is good for the sport and wants her autograph?” I now know the answer. The 5 plus hour marathoner that has limited knowledge of pro running.

Yeah, what runner would want an autograph of a 2x Olympian, 2x World Marathon Major Runner-up, and Boston Marathon champion?
I would much prefer an autograph from ANY other American woman who won Boston over the last 37 years.
