re: Capering Shitbird

Interesting when analyzing different champion's personalities. I've had the opportunity to meet several championship runners in the past. Almost all are very humble. One thing that struck me was that I've met Meb three times (each about a year apart). He was very gracious, humble and had a kind personality. I was shocked that he remembered me the 2nd time I met him...and I AM A NOBODY. He even went out of his way to say some kind words to me, which was very motivating. I'm sure Galen is a nice guy, but he outwardly appears that it is all about himself. What a contrast.

re: nikeman

Maybe if he wasn't suffocating himself with a ridiculous mask, he might have been able to breathe a little better.

I'm still baffled by why he completely covers his nose and mouth when he's exerting himself for 2+ hours.

Hypothermia???
I and several thousand other runners were out there running for over three hours, including FOUR HOURS OUTDOORS PRE-RACE, lining up for a bus at the finish area then sitting around in a school field before the start. (While Rupp was in his hotel room, private car and an indoor "VIP" start area.)
Even waiting half an hour in soaking clothes AFTER the race, I didn't have "hypothermia." That's after over seven hours outdoors.
As someone underwriting Rupp's appearance fees, I am disgusted he stepped off the course.
Is there anything you can think of that might make you and the other penguins a little bit less susceptible to hypothermia than Rupp?

I don't know about the other penguins, but my body fat is very nearly as low as Rupp's.

And I didn't have my choice of the entire Nike catalog to choose from, or the option to wear a jacket that I could take off. Ran it in singlet and shorts. No hat, no weird scarf.

I sat in a field for almost hours before the race.

No "hypothermia."

I think that Rupp is confusing "hypothermia" with "I feewl a widdle bit cold."

Linden and Flanagan publicly discredited Rupp and Hasay and NOP after Chicago. Linden did it again right before Boston this year. Meanwhile, Rupp, Hasay and the the NOP remained gracious and respectful - never saying a thing. In fact, Hasay congratulated Flanagan on her NYC win.
The NOP owes Linden nothing. If it was Hasay and a Rupp that won Boston, Linden and her Hanson team would have called Hasay/Rupp a cheater. No doubt about that.
Everyone is allowed to have great days but for the NOP.

Linden,

We didn’t forget.
