How long will sponsors keep paying her for this trash? Sets up hype, posts something like "no matter what happens I'm so proud of myself!!1", and then drops out. This is not relatable to the people. If I have paid to fly across the country for a race and can't sustain the pace I am on and hurt a lot, I muster some motivation and keep trucking until the finish line.
Its was a purposeful drop. To appease her contract obligations she had to race again.
She could have met that obligation by running half marathon, but that again would be harder to justify the drop out and the pace would be faster in which would have exposed her decline.
Marathon much easier to show an attempt, get past half way and you've shown a good effort.
Appease there sponsors keep the con alive. Motivation in her and Adams life is 100% financially driven squeeze another buck from the running industry.
Nothing wrong with, not against the law, it is what it is.
It's been mentioned she may go the ultra trail world? That should do well for her tender hamstring.
We await the next phase....
