Here is another thread on Dimoff from December that google is sending people to as I'm sure there are ton of people asking, "Who the hell is Carrie Dimoff?"

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=8568465

The surprise here is that people DON'T know who she is! Easy for me to say since I live in Portland...:).

Her husband John was my teammate long long ago at UW (he was there for 1 year, then transferred to UO). Great guy. Congrats to Carrie and I'm glad to know John is still connected to the sport, he was very passionate about it when I knew him.

Also shoutout to Jorgensen for running that in flats! Didn’t even wear spikes.

Not flats... Vaporfly 4%.

Which really puts her at 32:12.

why 32:12 ? don't get that ?

I've heard of her. I've run with her many times. Great breakthrough.

Fantastic running. Full time job, mother of two and 31:57. That would have placed her 57th on the Worlds List for 2017.

I've heard of her. Well known among the PDX scene. Awesome run after an awesome 2:30 in the fall.

Correct times and splits below. As you can see from splits, Schweizer got dropped with a mile to go and then it was between Dimoff and Jorgsensen. Dimoff led at bell, but Jorgensen won quite easily on the final lap. 2 seconds at the finish is roughly 11-12 meters.

Especially considering your only job is to follow the sport, it's surprising you don't know Dimoff. She's run at USAs multiple times - in the steeple as far back as 2008. Ran well at CIM last December. Coached by Elliott Heath.

Try harder, guys.

Is Lisa Uhl update? Just wondering if she still runs or not?

M.A.G.A.

Try harder? I don't think you get the point of the headline. We are highlighting her story and trying to get people to pay attention to it by saying most people have no idea who she is. To me that she's an unknown mom is what makes it great. Having witnessed my wife give birth, I'm now fully convinced there is no way that getting through that wouldn't make you a tougher runner.

The fact that someone wouldn't know who she is isn't hard to fathom or a bad thing. Look, I'm a Princeton alum and I barely know who she is. Let's say you want to stay on say just top of the top 5 people in the 800, 1500, steeple, 5k, 10k, and marathon at the following levels - NCAA, USA and World level (Yes I know there isn't a marathon in the NCAA so call it cross country).

That's 180 runners right there that you have to know. Throw in a couple of couple handful of high schoolers and you are well over 200. If i asked you you to get into great detail on your 200th favorite NFL star, I bet you couldn't do it. The same thing is true here.

Her career highlight before today came at the 2012 trials she was 6th in the steeple, (either that or her 2:30 marathon in December) ahead of names like Delilaha D and Sara Hall. So there is no shame it not knowing who she is.

And the thing about running is it is very top heavy. Someone who has a career highlight of finishing 5th at the Trials is probably someone who is normally like the 10th best person in the field but they have a great year. So in reality, she'd be like the 400 or 500th person in your brain.

Most runners can probably track more than that in their head, certainly if they are active and competing against them.

Spikes are faster for the track. The 4% are marathon shoes. This puts her at 29:55 IMO. The shoes are not grippy at all.

Lol Jorgensen was going for the win not the WR. Almost beat or someone else ran her time and creamed her?

And the shoes. Severe disadvantage in the 4% on the track.

Nice attempt to quantify your ignorance. Most people I know can rattle off alumni athletes to me no matter how marginal they may have been once they became alumni. For an alumnus of a school to "barely know who she is" in a niche sport in which she's been pretty competitive over a number of years is pathetic considering you are one of the supposed leader's of the board.

The 4% shoes are best for the 10k. I've experienced it. In the marathon and half, the bounce is gone after 10 miles. I've seen unreal 10k PRs with the 4%.
