No way. She may or may not have won but she would have gotten 2nd easily. They both would have gapped the field by a lot if she made her move with 1K to go.
So se ran the absolute smartest race possible if you claim that she had no chance to win and had 2oo other possibilities. Sounds like she ran the most intelligent race of everyone.
It appears from what is being argued here that if Valby used the best possible tactics available to her she lost to a clearly superior runner - who was going to beat her whatever tactics she used.
How do you know? Maybe Tuohy would have run faster had she taken the firmer path rather than the shorter path.
What "firmer path"? Valby wasn't looking for a "firmer path" - she simply followed the golf cart. Running the shorter route also didn't appear to slow Tuohy down when she made her move. She absolutely mowed Valby down.

So smarter tactics woukd have had her win? If not, then her tactics were the best because they resulted in a 2nd place finish. You always contradict yourself.
I did not say smarter tactics would have had her win. Tuohy was going to beat her, however she ran. But the mods didn't approve of my saying that.
Had KT really wanted to show off.. she would’ve run ~ 19:18 to maybe 19:29 for PV .. KT didn’t even try to make any type of race effort until 4k into the race.
If Tuohy used better tactics and only won by 3 seconds, sounds like you are saying that Valby would have won with better tactics. I assumed Tuohy had superior ability and that Valby ran her best possible race to get second. But I like your take better. That bodes well for Valby on the track since she isn't as good at hills or tactics. Sounds like she will be beating Tuohy on the track.

Not only can you not follow an argument you are also a fantasist.

Tuohy ran around 15secs faster than Valby over the last 2k. That is a handicap race.

Chmiel made up 8 sec on Valby over the last 1km. Finished 7 sec back. In a 10,000 Chmiel could have a great chance to beat Valby.

IF you spent half as much time on improving yourself as you do arguing endlessly about a women’s cross country race then maybe you would have done something with your life. You are so damn negative that it is no wonder you’re so lonely.
