Oh please all of them are attractive women with major accomplishments at. the college and above level. I wouldn't say Colleen has anything more than any of them do.
I do think someone, in or outside of the team, might think fast braid Friday is dumb. I just work in a regular ol' white collar company and some of the personal branding efforts some people have are eye-rolling, and I'm not they add value and actually come off as desperate. But I know in athletics it can be a different story.

Well said! This is painful to read. Women are capable of respecting teammates and coworkers without being best friends.
While she may not have been besties with other Bowerman babes, it ultimately sounds like Quigley had better financial opportunities elsewhere and she's savvy enough at the business side of the sport to know her market value.
I'd like to point out Colleen only follows Sinclaire on instagram. Sounds like something went down at altitude camp this year, bad enough to jump ship. Blaming neither party, as a girl I figure its a clash of personality--happens.
She should be the lone wolf like Ben True. Revenge Tour in #2021.
That's not true. She's still following most of them on instagram
Stop making sense.
LateRunnerPhil is a no-life hanger on, he's a complete joke.

The two Babes she no longer follows are Shelby and Emily Infeld. Make of that what you will. But she does still follow the rest.

Very good post and spot on. There is most likely a lot of jealousy involved. I think she was doing better on social media than most of them, and also got substantially better sponsorship deals due to her larger reach. Girls in general are just overly competitive and often get upset, if someone beats them in a race or workout. Or if someone is more popular than them.
I've seen guys lose a race to their best friend/teammate, and go out for a drink/meal afterwards.
I've seen females lose a race to a teammate or close friend, and drop the friendship for literally no reason.
There is a reason why famous teams like Tinman Elite don't even have a women's division yet. Lots of possible drama, especially behind the scenes.

As a female, my comments can't be sexist... just like black people can't be racist. As a woman, I know how women act and respond to other women, ie jealousy.
So stop trying to sound progressive you just sound out of touch and pathetic

Real convincing.
I want to know why anybody would leave such a great training group and support system. Its so difficult to train on your own or with 1 or 2 others, and this is the premier group in the US. Good luck to Colleen but I hope she's ready for the mental struggle that is training with considerably fewer teammates.
Her open letter to BTC can be found here:

The letter doesn't actually say why she's leaving, but that's OK. I think it is a thoughtful leave-taking message to BTC members, who no doubt already know why she's leaving.

You don’t know why? Money.

Emily Infeld is the nicest human alive. If there's a problem between you and Infeld. It's you who has the problem.
From the dummy that claimed none of her teammates offered their support.
who you calling dummy?
you all 4 hearts support?
that's a bare minimum gesture to maintain her brand as great teammate.
doosh

I’m calling you a dummy, based on your premature and false statement.
Maybe it is as simple as that she actually likes racing in real races.

At the time of my posting no one had one had come out and supported her. No, the support has been tepid at best. I was clearly correct.
go pop a zit, kid

No one on the team had commented/reacted in the first 20 minutes. Real hard hitting stuff.
And it doesn't matter if you are a woman. You can still be sexist. Black people can be racist because there are more than two races, and a lot of them are subject to racism. So yeah, you're comments are a massive generalization of how all women act, which is clearly untrue. There may be some, and that may be your experience, but there are surely other more professional women out there.
