    It's almost like maybe we should let this one go.

    And where do we draw the line? Overall winners in local races? Age group winners in major races like Peachtree or Boston? Only if the person wins money? What if Rosie Ruiz had committed suicide days after her was outed for cheating at Boston? Does that mean the race organizers were wrong to disqualify her and should instead have just let her have the victory even after her ruse was uncovered?

    Who cuts a course to get done quicker as some are suggesting? If I start a race and don't want to run the distance I DNF. No way will I ever cross a finish line if I don't run the full distance.

    This is blatant cheating, there is no plausible way this was accidental.

    Okay, what if this was attempted murder by the timers or race organizers. Think about it: they give this lady a bib and intentionally leave it registered for the half-marathon rather than the 10k she is running. They know she will be harassed on LetsRun and eventually commit suicide, so in effect, they were attempting to kill her.

    This is about as reasonable as most conspiracy theories out there. I just need to make a YouTube video with ominous music and an 'expert' that was 'fired' or 'silenced'.

    I think we at least wait until the award winners are announced and make sure that the hypothetical crime even happened before we name names, imply accusations and break out the internet super sleuth kits.

    That much seems obvious.

    I think it’s weird that people are going on and on about something that appears to be a technical glitch. the winner got the credit and prize…. Including Jordan Hasay… who did the 10k.

    The awards are already posted, and she is not listed, and this woman did not win. Do your homework before upsetting all the strange people

    Yes, I just don't see how someone can go from a 2:15 half to a 1:16 without any results to support such a progession.

    Train alot by yourself for a year or two?

    Doesn't seem complicated, especially if money is tight.

    That said, I agree that is indeed quite rare.

    For a female, especially. 1:16 is a decent time for a serious male amateur. Most women wouldn't hit that time if they trained hard for five years, and to manage that without running any other races in the meantime defies credulity.

    The winning female at the Paso Robles half marathon today (with prize including $1500 of wine) was a 42 year old with very mediocre prior results, yet somehow managed to pull off a 1:16 half marathon. The last result I can find for her was a 4:57 marathon in 2017.

    How about you emailed the Timer or RD to point out an error before accusing someone of drinking expensive wine with no effort

    Notwithstanding the OP's stupidity for posting a thread on LRC, you are bringing in the straw men.

    Frank was a professional person, who was outed after several successful cheats, and record claiming, who should have known better, and who had ample time to apologise and diffuse the situation, instead doubling down.
