She definitely doesn’t get any respect here. There was a whole multi page thread about how Tuohy is so much better and should have beaten her. Somehow it was just bad luck.

Except I did pick her to win the 3000...very solid very consistent runner
Im sure she was talking about indeed wayment and gregory and the ones in front as Tuohy was boxed in the rail..... but did she even remember how by much she won it? literally just half a second and Someone was running faster than her the last 600 despite running an all-out 5k the night before

Who cares about letsrun's respect??
nobody picked tuohy to win the 5000m nor the 3000m but many here picked roe for the 3000m
taylor roe obviously is talking about how the runners didnt go with her, she felt disrespected about it so as she said "ran faster"
??? does she not know the fastest girls on that line up came from the 5000m ??
Its not like they all had a full tank coming in that 3000m compared to her, and as she said she has done it a few times, its her go to tactic, for others it simply isnt ...
Katelyn would never or any other runner would say such thing
I feel like wayment nor the others did not disrespect her, they are just not sure whether they could run off that early without dying in the end .. and wayment said herself that her legs just wasnt in it

sounds cocky to me
Exactly.
Just train and run. Who cares what the vast unwashed think? She's not running for office.
Too many in the USA think about how they're perceived rather than focusing on their goals and ambitions
It was just a harmless, joking comment. Fact is no one covered her initial move. When that happens it is perfectly fair to perceive it as not being taken seriously. The announcers barely focused on her, concentrating on the perceived favorites.
As to the question I would say it was much more the later. People on here predicted that one of the fresher runners were going to go for a gap early. It was the obvious move. Wayment and Gregory were in good position but were coming off the 5000 from the night before and did not initially cover the move. They and Ryan tried to cover tye kive too late. KT also ran the 5000 and was running in the pack but got caught on the rail and had to make up a ton of ground. In retrospect Gregory had something left and KT had a lot left, but that is why it was a good strategy.

roe surged and had a pretty good lead and yet she just won it .25 seconds over tuohy... less than half of a second
katelyn was running the last 600 faster than roe, she ran the last lap WHOLE SECOND faster than roe, now thats why people believed Tuohy could have won that race because its a reasonable "WHAT IF" what if there another 100m .... what could happen? what if katelyn wasnt boxed out, what could happen... they also weighed in the fact that Tuohy has developed somewhat a pretty good finishing kick.
also i can say to you, people didnt really even consider tuohy winning the 3000m

What Roe should have said, in your imaginary world in which Tuohy is the Unquestioned Ruler of Everything, is "First of all I'd like to thank the legendary Katelyn Tuohy. She made this race...and all other races. No way I could have beaten a fresh Tuohy. She has way more upside than I do - in running and in life in general - and clearly was the better runner even in this race. In fact, I'm going to build a Katelyn Tuohy shrine right here and now. Wanna help?"
youre hurt because its true that she barely even won that race, and who needs a shrine? tuohy owns letsrun, a simple mention of her name makes people click and comment
tuohy also has a hold of you because you're here, the difference is im a fan, you're a hater .. you're basically part of the tuohy world

Unfortunately for the field the race was over with 800m to go. The problem is the only LRC approved strategy is to sit and kick. So we have pages and pages about being boxed in and doubling back. They don’t give medals for those things.

Why would I be hurt that somebody barely won a race? I don't follow your reasoning...unless you think that I must be a HUGE Taylor Roe fan, because absolute worship of a runner is the only type of running fandom you understand...and so I'm hurt that she didn't stomp everyone into oblivion?
I'm not for or against Tuohy (or Taylor Roe, for that matter). I don't know much about her, other than what one can't help but know from being a regular visitor to LetsRun. I hope she does well, just like I hope for pretty much everybody. You're the one with the monomaniacal obsession that has reduced what can sometimes be an interesting sport to a "Tuohy world" dominated by a single person who presumably you have no personal connection to.
