Where was Erin Finn in East prelim 10k?

She dropped out because she knew she couldn't beat Thoven. That's Monica Thoven, 10k ace from Germany, running on a US collegiate scholarship.

It is my considered medical opinion that she suffered a strauss fracture.

You all need to quit haydn. No need to mob and mahler.

Such a shame she's not racing. She's typically a gritty competitor, especially on the pachelbel lap.

Maybe she forgot a schubert at home?

She only knows one speed. She will always have great races followed by long recovery and injury periods.

I was very supersized to see she didn't run

I used to feel that way, but now I'm quite minuet.

Nope...I'm missing something there, but if you have to explain, then there's a fundamental flaw in your comedic attempt. But thanks for the effort. I minuet sincerely.

This thread has turned hilarious in a very unexpected way.

She baroque everybody before halfway at big 10s

This is such a sad case. Erin is a very talented and intelligent young woman. She is just wound a little too tight. She is a ticking time bomb that will always have problems staying healthy. I think she is best served to step away from running and work on becoming a Doctor.

You completely misunderstood me. I'm saying that Erin is in an unhealthy state and that we should show more compassion and understanding before something tragic happens like Kathy Ormsby. Coach Mike is a great man and has Erin's best interest at heart. Everyone needs to respect this and back off.

These kinds of posts always strike me as weird. If you actually do know what's going on with Erin, then you're outing her personal health struggles on a message board in a very misguided attempt to defend her . Can't say I'd be thrilled if someone I knew did that to me.

It is believable for one major reason.

The silence from a Erin and her camp.

If it was that she couldn't come back from a tough Conference Meet. Then I believe she would of come out and said that. If she rolled an ankle or tweaked a hamstring she would of tweeted something along the lines of disappointed that I couldn't make it to the starting line with my bum hammy. This would immediately end all speculation.

We are left to believe that it is far more serious.

Why the hell should Erin Finn & her camp ever need to go public with an explanation, especially if it's something that might prove embarrassing? Whatever the reason, it's her/their business. Not everyone needs to air dirty laundry on twitter or LetsRun, and open the door to the nattering nabobs of negativism who need to let the world know their opinions.

Then again, those uglies will post their stupid crap even without knowing the truth.

So you agree with me that it is probably something embarassing and not likely an injury. I agree, I wouldn't want that shared with others either. Thanks for the support.

+1

thank you LRC for a surprisingly hilarious departure from the norm

Silence on social media and a no-show.

Where is she Haydn?

I was watching a live stream on Instagram from one of her teammates and she was briefly in the stream walking up the stands. So she’s there, but I’m not sure why she didn’t run.

It won't be largo before this reaches a crescendo.
