That will be interesting to see what happens. I can only imagine that potential sponsors and race directors see her now as a liability and/or red flag.
It's not like she was moving product like a Lance Armstrong or Tiger Woods.140 -

The craziest thing about this is that she somehow managed to become one of the highest-paid ultrarunners, maybe even the highest paid (if the rumors are true), despite being a total publicity PITA and only dominating a tiny niche of the sport that no one really cares about. Just a week ago she had a post showing the house they were building in AZ - new construction on massive land and the house itself looked pretty large. I think at one point she also bragged about their $100k+ RV, but I could be misremembering.
It's basically the windfall of a lifetime. Thousands of runners would kill to have a running career for 1/3 of what she is probably making. Her previous issues were tolerated because it's wrong to say anything bad about anyone at anytime in ultrarunning's "positive and inclusive" environment (which btw I think ultimately led/enabled her into this trainwreck).
And to throw it all away over Wikipedia trolling???? JFC.
Maybe she became the highest-paid BECAUSE OF these things. Not saying she’s dark triad (I don’t know her at all), but you do hear that those people can sometimes be highly successful.
Said another way, this is someone who appears to be extremely selfish and narcissistic, willing to cause conflict, break norms, and diminish other people to benefit herself, and whose life is oriented around seeming like the world’s best ultrarunner (and she legitimately is very good). Is it all that surprising that absent a community willing to punish defectors such a person would be particularly successful in her goals?
Listen, it’s this simple - Herron made it to the top of this niche area of running because the layman and beginning runner finds it more impressive than a 3:26 1500 or a 12:35 5k. They don’t really understand metric distances (in the US) or the discipline required to sustain the human body at maximum velocity through those distances. Just ask Joanne’s sister who ran a 5k marathon last weekend! A marathon of 5k’s! Holy Shlt!
Running hundreds of miles, however - they can quantify that, and it seems impressive! The idea of pace never enters their mind. It was kind of genius to head in that direction, knowing other runners wouldn’t be interested in days of jogging and just focus on covering big miles….that’s marketable to the layman! They get that, it ends up in woman’s health magazines, the guardian (etc) and that’s where Camille’s value lies for companies that have sponsored her in the past.
The good natured Forest Gumpish character was part and parcel to that however and lulu didn’t think the value was there without it. Will be (morbidly) interesting to see if other companies are interested after this debacle no matter how insignificant I believe it to be in reality. Oh yeah, ultra ‘running’ sucks and you’ll never own in CA….hahahaha!

Actually, I think Camille has a very bright future ahead in politics. She should take this opportunity to brand as "Cammy H." and start wear military camo green so she is seen as hip and edgy. And then push more towards that she is a genius with her "scientist" background. The ultra running stuff would be minor and just be to tell regular Joe's that she is the world's best at running hundreds of miles which will impress the laymans and make them think she is the best thing since sliced bread. The regular public will eat all that up like sloppy joes. You reading this, Connor?

Honestly, her best approach now is to double down on the rhetoric and rivalries. Normalize the hijinks as part of the ultra running experience. Think professional wrestling…..this is ultra running’s fate, don’t fight it.

Camille has now passed checkpoint 11, which is 42.2 km / first marathon mark. She is still leading the front of the women's race and the hate is still very strong with her widening the gap enormously to all the other women. After checkpoint 11, there is only 1 other woman who is even remotely close, Honkala Noora of Finland. This is now just a 2 woman race. A long distance still to go.

This would be some legendary flexing if Camille were editing her Wikipedia and posting here during her race. It would be truly epic. She would then deserve a black page.
Ultras are stupid

For evidence, they could link to LRC threads to show that their Wikipedia edits are very benign compared to what is said every day

Noora Honkala just won the Female Spartathlon in 24:25!
Congratulations!530 -
Noora has a Finnish Wikipedia page that needs updating with her win. Last year she was second behind Camille:

Sorry Camille but Noora is like a decade younger and more attractive. So read it and weep.

Noora is a gem. Poor girl had to sell her car to fund a surgery on her back a while ago. Let’s start a gofundme to buy her a Lambo.
