Lazy and full of . . . chutzpah for sure. Binder is embarrassed because he originally filed a report based on nohting more than a quick read of the LetsRun story, albeit without attribution. Then he "updated" that report when posters on the "Kara at Lisbon" thread pointed out that the splits were whack.
Now he has the gonads to write a second story criticizing LetsRun without admitting that it was his own laziness and sloppiness that got him in trouble in the first place.

Wow. Steal from a website without attribution; then when it's wrong, criticize the website without mentioning the original theft.
Note also more sloppy journalism in the "update," where he claims Goucher would have run faster on an accurately measured course. Just because the final kilometer was long doesn't mean that the course itself was long. Sloppy measuring (assuming that's true) could easily mean that early kilometer(s) were short. There's no way to tell that the entire course was long, short, or accurate based on one long kilometer.
