"although she was one minute slower than her previous time, she officially set the record for ‘fastest known turkey’, running 35:34 for first place in the 10K."

PS. I'm joking people about this being the beginning of the end. She's entertaining with her costumes. I'm trying to entertain with my headline. Last year, she wasn't coming off of two marathons.
would have been cool to be on that start line.
watching her dance like an idiot in a turkey suit with a smirk on her face at the start line surrounded by grown men looking way too serious and fairly uncomfortable is why she is the clown princess of distance running and the greatest personality in the sport right now.

"behavior not befitting a professional marathoner"
no one lives the mantra "dont take yourself too seriously" better then Molly. and we are all better for it.
Next, she should run the July 4th Bluegrass 10000 in Lexington, KY...while picking the banjo (Scruggs-style, not clawhammer). Get Weini Kelati & Ceili McCabe (the next two great No Am marathoners) to learn a few licks and do the same? A race for the ages, and a juicy IPA for the winner.

^^^ Bingo.
Do you think the uptight guys next ot her know who she is? Or are they uptight as they are trying to PR and this young woman is dancing next to them in a turkey suit?
For those of you who don't use instagram, here is a video of what we are talking about.

Those guys trained all year long to beat that Kenyan woman only to be DEVASTATED by a goofball in a Turkey suit.

Rojo has to feed his kids on Thanksgiving too.
It's a tough world.

Haters gonna hate. I'm sorry not everyone conforms to your ideal model runner, some aren't as anal and like having fun. What's next? Hating on Yuki kawuachi for running some half marathons in a suit and a panda suit?
I was one of the people next to her. We all knew who she is. She was very nice and talked to everyone. The video is a bit misleading as everyone was laughing and clapping for her immediately prior.

Thanks for posting snowflake.
Can you please link to the source for this quote: "behavior not befitting a professional marathoner"? I think this was the clowns on Citius paraphrasing (improperly) what the announcers were saying so that they could stir up drama. I recall from the broadcast something more along the lines (paraphrasing) of elite marathoners shouldn't be wasting any energy unnecessarily.
I'll also note that the second Molly did that high five, Jepchirchir looked over and then dropped the hammer and shredded the group and culled it to her and two others (not Molly).
And I'm a huge Molly fan. She's great for the sport and love seeing her attitude towards running. I'm buying my first set of Puma's every just to show support for her. I just don't think the announcers said what the Citius ppl said they said.

Right? The front of the starting area of any race is such a miserable place to be. Props to anyone who breaks the common script of awkwardly bouncing around and staring straight ahead. I love knowing how much these inflexible, miserable people are bothered by minor antics like this, or Galen sitting down and resting on the starting line. Because at the end of the day, if you're annoyed, it just reinforces the notion that you have a stick up your a$$ and cannot handle anything outside of your narrow window of tolerance!

They just look cold to me, nobody looks uncomfortable by her dancing.

Do the guys around her really look “uptight?” They appear to be just standing there waiting for the race to start. I don’t see anything uptight about that.

I doubt they trained all year. She ran a 35:30 for men that's really not impressive at all. It's like 17 minute 5K shape, maybe 16:45.

That video clip is awesome.
What does her time have to do with their times or training? If the winner ran 27 minutes, how would her 35 minutes be relevant?

No wonder she beat you, you got off that line like a lumberjack. Work some mobility in those hamstrings, you're starting to move like your old coach.
The beginning of the end for... LRC? Oh that's well in the past, big guy.
