Nikki Haley on Trump's grievances and self-obsession:
"What bothers me with all of that is whether it was New Hampshire or whether it was after that court case, at no point did he talk about the American people...All he did was talk about himself."Nikki Haley is no model of integrity by any means. But as you watch her and Christy tell the truth about Trump it helps you see that the GOP knows exactly who Trump is. This is how they all talk about Trump behind closed doors. But their list for power and money is too strong.
The only people that really believe the Trump con are people like Gary.

Strava is actually considered part of the problem, as they permit self-ID too.41 -
Can she not see how utterly ridiculous she's being? No, Strava doesn't ask for ID to create an account so anyone can sign up as a woman. What is she expecting from them?

Sian won Dartmoor Discovery (a tough road ultra) as a man, and was at the pointy end of local races as a man.
There is an interview with her here where she talks about her transition and this particular race, from Marathon Talk. It starts at around 37mins.22 -
The world is going freakin' crazy.

Belter of a race by the way.

The point im trying to make is you are more than welcome to race it. But its racing yourself, not racing other people. Thats why there was never a first place for park run since it first ever ever started.
Its a community run you can tackle in any way you like bar the obvious way of being agressive and moaning about transexuals
3rd time.What was the Parkrun you supposedly did last week?

She won it, as Simon, back in 2016. She ran it again a couple of years ago or so, after the transition.

I did wonder where they came from. As Simon, she had a pb of 32.33 for 10k from 2016, and was winning park run as a male in 2016, in a similar time to that which she is winning as a woman now, but probably a slow park run course. He/she both have plenty of wins in park run in their categories.

Strava is actually considered part of the problem, as they permit self-ID too.That's what I was talking about when I mentioned Strava a bunch of pages ago.
These "records," even when visible, are achievements only with a healthy dose of cognitive dissonance.
When you take the crown on a Strava segment, it's only because none of the millions of people in your "category" who are faster than you live in your neighborhood. Or ran at your particular parkrun.
Pay attention: We (including myself) have the ability to ignore that fact in order to feel that sense of accomplishment. And we do ignore it! We can ignore those millions in order to stroke ourselves.
But for some reason we can't ignore when a trans category person pushes us back one place. For some reason, we can't ignore that.
This is literally all in our heads.
I know the political "competition" taints this whole thing, but, would anyone admit that I'm right about this? These things only have as much value as you invest in them.

umteenth time
Tell me why a list of finishers sorted by time is circulated for each event
Even if its not a "race", they have kept the time-ordered-list-of-runners (ie the "race" part) and deleted items that do not depend on it being a "race" such as course records, fastest performance by age, fastest 500 etc

It's a timed run. Everyone gets an official gun finish time, if they want (you can refuse it). To do this they need to take a token at the finish line and scan their barcode with the token. The tokens can then be matched up with the times from the stopwatch which will be in the same finish order.12 -

And once again they go home devastated. Sure in their little heads that the positions were lofted and prized like Olympic medals and not just in that order because people scanned them first and the only way to link the time was a common sense numbered token.
Still not wishing to accept that park runs courses are put up by volunteers changed in the seasons and mean nothing bar healthy satisfaction that you had fun on a Saturday.
Feel free to leave this debate now it's been explained to you.

The more you write the more convinced I am that you have never attended a parkrun in your life. Not only are you acting like the barcode statement is somehow new information in this debate but also you erroneously say that the finishing order is determined by who "scanned them first", something a parkrun attendee knows doesn't matter at all- the first finisher could be scanned last and it wouldn't affect the finishing order.

The crazy thing is we all know its NOT new. But people keep thinking this somehow proves its a race when since it started it never was.
You can keep on assuming and keep on telling yourself that its wrong but its not evidence its a race. They explicitly explain its not a race. People like to race it agreed but its not intended to be a race.
You went home devestated and your tears taste like IrnBru.

Stop insulting people for one second and tell us all where this park run you claim you finished second to a German Shepherd dog who ran 15.15 is
Clues you have given is so far: it's in a city which hosts 3 Park runs; you claim you ran 15.35 in second place there last Saturday, and it's the only park run in Britain which lacks a defined start and end point, with no atreet furniture or painted lines for markers, and moves each week.
I would have said the station in Harry Potter, but London has more than 3 park runs.
And the amazing German Shepherd dog that runs 15.15 - there must be somebody on here who has heard of this unusual feat
