All of this talk about Paula and drugs makes me wonder if Alanis's time is legit or not.
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=41581011) There were males in the race that she could have been pacing off of.
2) From everything in this thread is is a bit odd that she didn't even mention performance enhancing drugs, almost like she had something to hide.
3) She busts out this marathon without any known history of running. It is suspicious enough when somebody goes from 2:20-ish to 2:15-ish in a short time, but she went from NOTHING at all to a sub-5 finishing time.
4) I have NEVER hear anything about her pain threshold or work ethic for training mentioned before. If she doesn't have those key factors, why wouldn't she turn to doping?
5) It seems a bit strange that somebody in the limelight like Alanis did not get drug tested. Paula, Lance, Lagat, etc. all get tested. Alanis is an even more widely known name than all of them (maybe with the exception of Lance), but no drug test. I smell a conspiracy.
This opens up a whole new can of worms. If Alanis's performance is not legit, what about Orpah's? What about Diddy's? What about Alice Cooper's and Dana Carvey's high school times? This could be bigger than Balco.
You win the internet for the day
I hate you Isotropic Runner for bumping this stupidity.
Morrisette was a doper. On page 3 of this interview with Runner's World which ran in the January 2010 issue she admitted to occasionally indulging in marijuana to relax. Doper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, how does Alanis's run compare in relation to Ben True's 23:27 in a road race? From the many posts on the topic, it is pretty clear that True's performance was mediocre at best. My guess is Alanis probably split a similar 8K time to true and then slowed incredibly, likely due to inexperience at the marathon distance.
Then again, one must consider True's race was run in Maine, so I am not sure what the correction factor would be in terms of geomagnetism.
"it figures"
Medical marijuana. She must have cancer or AIDS or something.
