Why does LetsRun.com start a thread with a subject that is a lie? Gwen Jorgensen did not make her BTC debut. She ran unattached and clearly says she is a free agent?

15:15 is exactly what you would expect from someone who ran 53 at the Twin Cities Ten Miler (not an easy course). Yes, she gave birth six months ago, but she's also doing dedicated run training, which she wasn't doing before.
I seriously think that all of these people who say she has no chance don't actually know how good her running resume is.
I'm impressed by her, and once some minor things are ironed out, she'll be dominating.
On the original start list, it said BTC next to her name, same as Emily and Courtney. Later was changed to Unattched.
How is she arrogant?

Because the sensitive types around here don't like that a tridork would have the audacity to state she wants to win marathon gold without yet having properly trained for one. Apparently you have to suffer and toil in the crucible of distance running for many years before you get to claim such things.

Wow, great video. I just became a fan!

That's one of the worst videos that I've ever seen.
The ear splitting noise was terrible, and the jumping around video was horrendous.
Honestly, you did a terrible production.
Try to stop being so fancy, and put together something that sane people would not run away from.
Yikes, that video sucks wrote:

Please just move along. You are clearly not the intended audience.

Is that really all she has done to get Scorpion’s panties so bunched?

That's something I don't understand about this place.
I'm excited for her prospects - I mean, she knows what it takes to win an Olympic gold and obviously is a gifted athlete. I think she'll put up some good runs and scare the hell out of the top 10 US women marathoners.
To me the point isn't that she ran 15:15, although that's a good time everything considered (indoors, 6-months post baby, still adjusting to running full time), it's that she was so close to Emily Infeld who is among the best in the US at that distance and has good closing speed. This is a good performance for a woman focusing on the marathon.
She's not even a tridork - she was targeted as someone who might be good at Tri and got to leave her cube job to go for it with funding. If she was a true tridork don't you think she would have been back in ITU, 2020 Olympics or made the jump up to the truly tridork sport of Long Course Tri? If you look at her career she's is a runner plain and simple. She could barely ride a bike when she got into tri. She won because of her running speed. She quit tri because she didn't like riding a bike. I believe she realized while training for the olympics she had/could do what it takes to win at that level and she's going for it.

You almost have to wonder if her Tri career in some ways wasn't just a big base-building phase to return to running, this time at the top level. I wonder what her mindset was the past few years while out there putting in the miles.
I know she's dead set on the marathon but I wish she would consider the 10k....I know she's an aerobic beast so naturally wants to gravitate towards the marathon but geez she could really help to bolster our country's competitiveness in the mid distance range. Why not try to represent the US in the 10k?
not that she wasn't incredible before but curious if there have there been any scientific studies as to how much boost in hemoglobin you get in the first year from having a child?
I mean she went from a 65 to 68 vdot, that's fantastic (and rare)

Seems to me she has time to figure that one out. She's still building mileage so I imaging she'll be racing 5's and 10's for a while as she building running fitness. If she excels at the 10 and falls flat in her first few marathons, I could see the 10,000m starting to look like a better plan. Honestly, I'm not sure her next year or so of training looks very different if she's ultimately racing the marathon or the 10,000m (or both?) in next Olympic trials.
I believe it is around 60%
Not sure what the 60% is referring to but there is an increase in plasma volume that lasts for about 1 year but the length of effects depends on the individual. This benefit of pregnancy however, is buffered by the effects of relaxin and how that does not serve a gain in distance running....especially if she's breastfeeding than she might have higher hct/hgb but more relaxin, higher energy exenditure, sleep deprivation and not to mention biomechanical changes (wider and weaker hips, diastasis recti,pelvic floor weakening etc).
Didn't she run 34 minutes in her closing 10k at the olympics in the triathlon? Fans have not had much to get excited about when watching the US compete in the women's 10k since Shalane won bronze. I know it's a huge deal for her to do the marathon but she could do really well in the 10k and give us fans something to be proud/excited about.
Sorry plasma volume increases during pregnancy diluting hgb/hct levels...after hgb/hct does seem elevated as plasma volume goes down to more normal levels. The increased hcg/hct effects depends on the person.
I thought that this was pretty common knowledge; you really should not be making sarcastic (or whatever) comments when you apparently 1) don't have a clue; and 2) can't be bothered to look in to it.
Of course it is a foreign body, it does not have the same DNA as the host organism (the mom), the mother has a set of tricks that allow the baby to be carried but it does take a bunch of tricks. In addition, the baby's "incentives" and those of the mother's are sometimes at odds (which is why you get gestational diabetes ) [Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy (gestation). Like other types of diabetes, gestational diabetes affects how your cells use sugar (glucose). Gestational diabetes causes high blood sugar that can affect your pregnancy and your baby's health.

I hope you get educated a bit before getting involved in having a kid (I think that it is at least 95% likely you are a guy).
