RE: Is Jenny Barringer all hopped up on goofballs?

cmon, gimme a break. i betcha the lap counter was not obvious enough on giving the leaders three fingers with three to go about the time there was lapping going on, which sometimes confuses those people doing that. Jenny had her. looking forward to the US XC nationals for her next weekend.

I don't know what she's done but she looks great. She's a world champion and a silver medalist. Did it look silly? yes. Now she's fast and great looking and a bit hopped on goofballs.

Stopped walked around and still beat Hasay by 10s. OMG she did look good.

Poor Jordan and Rupp they will be running an all night workout tonight. Hope she makes her flight tomorrow.

Cain will only have to do 5 miles worth H

Hope they got to rest tonight and did nothing extra :(

Gennie Powell Crawford and Jenny Barringer Simpson are on the Zen cool ade.

She should go blonde now.

Then she would look even more like lone star angel.

I would just say this in defense of the girl: She probably had to be there as a New Balance athlete. This is her only indoor race of the season and who knows if her concentration was there 100 percent. It is 16 laps and she is used to 3 and 3/4 laps. Did I mention she looks great?

9:36.00 is a good time for Hasay. That's around an 8:53.x, not her greatest race but better than any indoor 3k she's ever run before today.

She's got a World Gold and a World Silver, she can fck up once.

To paraphrase that old SNL routine about Stevie Wonder..."NOBODY TALKS ABOUT JENNY THAT WAY."

She handle it with immediate grace. Immediate.

Gotta love that girl.

Jenny is so hot. They showed the slow-mo footage of her finishing early and realizing her mistake, and hot dayum her butt looked FINE.

This response may be warranted if she didn't finish or jogged it in. Jenny not only finished she went right back to pace. By the way this does happen. In Boston years ago (6?) Alistair Craig overtook K. Bekele in a 3k on the last lap because Bekele briefly jogged to the side at lap 14 thinking it was 15. I remember Alistair saying if there was one way he could overtake the GOAT it would be miscounted laps, did not hear what Bekele had to say. J. Simpson did say though and owned it like the true professional champion she is.

Way to be Jenny Great Effort!

I remember when Chris Derrick kicked a lap early in a 5k (2009 Payton Jordan Invitational).

Somebody in the stands was hitting on a cowbell. Oops!

He hung on and still won, but he was tying up pretty good in the actual final straight to get the American Junior Record!

It was a bit funny to see Sally K do a mild celebration after finishing. I'd think she'd be more subdued since she looked to bag it after Simpson went by. But it is good to see she can at least count. If I recall right from watching an NCAA XC broadcast, she's a nursing major. Don't want her wandering the ward pushing meds and not be able to count.

ya don't hafta count; there is a clock at the line about the size of my car. Not sure about anyone else, but I always knew what time it was...

Yeah, the bangs definitely look hot on her.

Now how's a girl supposed to hear some ding-dong bell when she's all hopped up on goofballs?

what does "hopped up on goofballs" mean?

honestly, the new hopped up on goofballs JBS will probably make some new fans with this misadventure - it's the imperfections that get you fans.
