Who is Johanna Shingler? (1:09 half marathon)

Can we start a thread 19,000 posts long filled with autistic weirdos for her?

Thanks!

That's her 10k speed

542 Johanna Shingler 38 F

F3539

Seattle WA 654 56/63 359 1:11:45 11:34

She jogged to the second set of restrooms at the 4 mile point, had a pee, then turned around and jogged into the finish line for second finisher.

Hi jamin!

Hey! Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It was probably a registration mixup and they ran the 10k.

There was no 10k. Next explanation please.

Entered 5k and walked it so slower than their 10k pace. Not unusual.

"We are one of the few races that allows transfers to different distances or transfers to different participants all the way up until race day! There is a $10 re-bib and re-chipping fee. At this point, as bibs are ready, all transfers have to occur at packet pick-ups. If you are transferring to another person you will need to fill out a new waiver, have a note from the person transferring, and pay the fee. If you are dropping down from the half to the 5k, the fee is waived but we will need to issue a new bib number."

Race was canceled partway through due to a train/truck collision causing tons of smoke on the course... Probably the weird time related to that

She's a He.

I was at the half marathon today. A gas explosion occurred and some of the runners were stopped at mile 6 and told to turn around. Huge fire. There were rumors that they spontaneously created an alternative route, but I think many runners were unable to find it and did not complete the half marathon - they ran significantly less. My guess would be that she was one of these runners.

See last paragraph of this article:

Someone in another thread posted the race results for the half marathon in Portland today (http://www.racecenter.com/results/2015/res_f215.htm) and I saw that the first female was someone named Johanna Shingler, 44 yrs old, from Seattle, who finished in 1:09 for 2nd place overall and over 10 minutes ahead of the next female. Athlinks shows her running around 1:10 for 10Ks and 2:30 for half marathons. Can't find anything on the internet about her being an elite runner. Was there a 10K going on today and maybe she got the wrong chip?

Equally or more impressive is the 3rd place finisher:

62 year old Sue Moir running a 1:23! Fix the results people!

obviously just a mistake wrote:

He did. Look at his last sentence.

The results for overall female are not correct due to the fire issue. Bree McArdle was, again, the overall female winner and the listed #1 finisher Johanna Shingler and #3 winner Sue Moir are incorrect. Congrats to them for their runs and efforts. Hope they truly enjoy their moments of fame and glory. 1st and 3rd are awesome, even if it was a mistake. What a fantastic day for a race through the beautiful city of Portland. Thanks to everyone involved.

I think Ken said she was Mike Rossi's sister.

100% guarantee it's a mistake but the exact reasons a mistake like this happen are numerous. It's one of these:

1) She entered the Half but decided to walk the 5K in 54 minutes and either told no one or the transferred wasn't recorded.

2) She decided not to run but she picked up her bib and stood next to the finish line at 1:09 clock time. Highly likely see below for why.

3) She dropped out of the race. Accidentally came too close to the finish line as she walked back to the finish area.

I don't think it was the related to fire as that only affected people that ended up with times greater than 2:30.

One clue is her start time is 00:00:00. This indicates she either never crossed the start mats or she crossed with Galen Rupp right when the gun went off. The later is unlikely as she is a 2+ hour half marathoner, so most likely scenario #2 above is what happened.
