Triathlete punches woman en route to win!!!

Unless you worked for Alison Qualter Berna at Apple Seeds, what in the world does that have to do with this thread?

But, back to topic, does the below about Bigham sound like the post by Alison about the sport and how she's with the majority, etc?

Alison saw him coming, and kept backing up right into him.

In that photo she looks like she's in the throes of sexual orgasm and enjoying the high. Did she plan the whole thing?

you know, the more I think about this, the more it seems likely, she was way over into the other lane, and conveniently has her friends and family there to photo it for her ... I think she maybe planned it to get attention for her blog, just like crossing the finish line with a gaggle of geese, but it got out of control and spun on her

i mean this is crazy stuff to plan, but we are in crazy times

I like the out of the box thinking but I don't think she planned a collision. Certainly planned an attention seeking video and picture sequence (alison: "I know people work their butts off in these kinds of races but I'm so perfect/awesome I make it look easy and always have such a good time") but collision... Might be a bit too much.

agreed I think she planned to just almost have a collision and never expected the shove

When will someone explain why she kept running backwards after the contact?

it seems like her friend is self-promoting himself to sell himself, his blog, and a book:

maybe the friend set her up, or she was in on it, maybe spiked her drink bottle or something to disorient her so she was running backwards the wrong way

so she could be sure that they got her in the pictures

She was trying to get the old guy too, but had lost the element of surprise

that old guy ran by her and was like I'm gonna beat that grandstanding chick

You leave Charles Scott alone. He needs to promote his book. If he has to libel someone to get more publicity then so be it. The world will be better off if more people read his book about how awesome he and his son are.

I also want to mention that I have moved on. It is not my fault that my husband, Bobby, and all my friends lied to the race director.

You mean, his new "novel"? Yeah, he must be a pretty good fiction writer, judging from his blogpost.

Well thank God he's not self-promoting someone else. Otherwise we'd need to find a new hyphenated term...

March 2009: Designation as United Nations Climate Heroes

"Climate heroes." Seriously? And, considering the links to Japan, biking the length of it, what has he done to educate about how bad Fukushima really is? You'd think Captain Planet "Climate heroes" would actually get involved in event that threatens all of Japan and humanity as a whole:

up there with d3 girls, kip, marathon on a track, etc

Kip??

No. Way.

Kip is probably the running story of the century. This story has been very entertaining.
