Why so angry? It wasn’t a totally disrespectful time; she showed up and finished the race.
The 32yr-old’s PB’s are probably long behind her, but she is still fit, taking care of herself.

FWIW, she also showed up early that week in Raleigh for the pre-race fan stuff and stayed the next day for the community run around a lake. She wasn't especially competitive in the race, but I was pleasantly surprised that she ran as well as she did. She's also a half-generation older than some of the women she raced against, including the winner.
